This book follows the story of Aurora, who is returning to her small town in the mountains after the divorce/ breakup of her 14-year relationship with a famous singer. Aurora lost her mother when she was young and sees her return to her hometown as a way to restart her life, reconnect with herself and finally get some closure regarding her mother situation.
What I liked about the book:
- Rhodes and Amos were great characters, and I enjoyed their relationship and how they supported Aurora throughout the book
- I liked the slow burn romance and to see Aurora and Rhodes love and trust develop and grow.
- Nice supporting characters
What I think it could have been done better:
- The book was way to long for the events happening.
- Amos family situation was bizarre, and I am not sure it added anything to the story.
- Although I do not dislike slow burns, I need to feel some payoff from it and, in this case, I did not feel it. We go straight from the beginning of the relationship for the conflict (less than 24 hours!) and from then to more drama.
- The conflict was absurd. I just could not understand any of the reactions around the issue: why Aurora didn't tell more details about her past, why would this be an issue for Rhodes, why would Amos feel she lied to him... it was an absolute nonsense. I am glad the author explained because I would not understand by myself.
- Aurora was quite immature, and I could not associate her attitudes with a 33-year-old woman. Additionally, how could someone be as stupid as to think the guy is calling her angel because he keeps forgetting her name?
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book and I am torn between 2 and 3 stars.
