I fear it was not the right time for me to read this. I’ve heard so many great things about the magic of Zapata’s slow burns but this wasn’t hitting for me. And it wasn’t even the slow burn of; the grumpiness was leaning towards genuine rudeness and I couldn’t connect with Aurora. Amos, however, was an outstanding side character, much love to him, I just love kids in books.
I’m also not the biggest fan of her writing style, yes it’s slow and yes it’s very descriptive (which I tend to skim in contemporary romance - sue me!) but more importantly, sentences were clunky and there was a lot of repetition.
Felling like I need to add some positive feedback to justify my ranking and enjoyment, I am someone who enjoys ‘no-plot’ novels that depict seemingly meaningless situations that show the characters’ growth and development, so parts of that I really enjoyed.
