A Little Too Late by Sarina Bowen
5.0
A Little Too Late is the first book in the Madigan Mountain series, and completed by A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros, and a Little Too Wild by Devney Perry. It’s a series that centers around the Madigan family, and each book tells the story of each of the Madigan brothers. They’ve all left home—their family ski resort—years ago, but it’s time for them to come back and find love.
A Little Too Late is a small town, second chance romance that tells us Reed and Ava’s story. They’ve been over for ten years, and their breakup was pretty bad. Their history is complicated, but their chemistry is not—it’s explosive.
I loved everything about this book. The tension and banter between Ava and Reed is so well done. There’s a paced unveiling of their past, and adding the missing pieces feels really organic and helps the story and their relationship flow. I always enjoy how Sarina Bowen can mix angst with hilarious situations, making you ache and cry and smile and laugh all at the same time; this book is like a masterclass in this.
I loved the setting, a Colorado family-runned ski resort felt pretty cool and original. The story feels fresh and is perfectly paced, and it evolves in a very dynamic way that just makes you want to keep reading. It’s a very emotional/angsty book—but in a good way, perfectly balanced with their banter, the fun, and the heat. Because Ava and Reed’s chemistry is off the charts and pretty much there the whole time, ready to explode.
I love everything Sarina Bowen writes. She’s a wonderful storyteller, and her writing is always outstanding. I also love Devney Perry and the few Rebecca Yarros books that I have read so far. If these three are writing a series together, I’ll be there. They really make it work. I can’t wait for the other two books of this series, and I highly recommend reading this book because it is totally worth it.
