It's a 3.5 stars read for me. I liked it, I found some stuff boring, the characters were okay, there were times I was laughing out loud and smiling, but it's missing something. Initially, the book is way too slow, but once I got used to the pacing, I did enjoy reading it. It's got the same MZ charm - family, main character's growth, a grumpy hero, friends and all that. But it felt repetitive. I was reminded of Diana from Wait for You whenever Aurora interacted with the other characters. But anyway, it's a good read if you're in the mood for slow burn.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and indie superstar Mariana Zapata's fan favorite All Rhodes Lead Here is a story about finding love when you least expect it--now with new exclusive content! The people we lose take a part of us with them...but they leave a part of themselves with us too. Aurora De La Torre, or Ora to her friends, knows moving back to Pagosa Springs, Colorado, a place that was once home and is now full of bittersweet memories of her late mother, isn't going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn't supposed to be. But after breaking up with her longtime, famous musician boyfriend, hiding out in a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord who lives across the driveway just might cure it, too. Only Tobias Rhodes didn't rent out the apartment to her, rather it was his teenage son, Amos. Fiercely protective of his family and distrusting of strangers, gruff and grumpy Rhodes initially keeps little miss sunshine Ora at a distance. But over days and weeks, long hikes and fireside chats, Aurora breaks down his walls and soon an unbreakable friendship blossoms into a once-in-a-lifetime love.

i've read a few mariana zapata books at this point and i think this is my second favorite behind the wall of winnipeg.

it had the usual tropes the author writes about but honestly i didn't mind because she knows how to do them well (age gaps, grumpy sunshine, slow burn, etc). 

overall this book was a fun time and gave me the hit of romance i was looking for at the time. 

thank you to Netgalley for the review copy as usual!

Mariana Zapata does it again <3 I must say I’m really loving slow burn romances and there’s no way I’m stopping now honestly.

I honestly love everything, from the way the characters interacted, the scenery, the pacing. It was all so chef’s kiss. Aurora and Rhodes honestly gives me the nonchalant x OA (iykyk LOL). Amos is such a sweetheart. Clara and Yuki also has a special place in my heart. 

I think my only side comment is how we never had background entirely with Aurora’s personal stuff, like it wasn’t completely tackled (not a priority, but would’ve been nice if it was added). Also Amos’ parents situation was a bit confusing at first for me. Like who’s who? Also I’m not sure if that was an attempted love-triangle, but it definitely wasn’t it (Johnny was honestly forgettable). Spice is balanced (for me), like thank goodness we only had one-ish chapter for it, one time big time in a way.

Overall, I would definitely reread this if I want to experience a good-feel slow burn.

Rhodes is THE DILF, love him sm 

- “I love you because you're mine. Because being around you is like being around the sun. Because seeing you happy makes me happy, and seeing you sad makes me want to do anything I have to to get that look off your face.”

- "I'm fine not being the first man she's ever loved because I know I'm to be the last."

This was a return to form for me from Mariana Zapata. I’ve still not managed to finish The Best Thing and I worried I was growing out of her books (not age wise just taste wise as has happened with authors before). Thankfully that’s not the case and this was an awesome book. 

It was difficult not to like Ora. She was a firm believer in kill em with kindness and I loved that because I’m always trying to do that when I can. Hard to be rude to someone who is all smiles right? She started over fresh in the small town she used to live in and made friends along the way. I respected her willingness to learn and not let herself get down with her struggles. She fell off a ladder and got right back up again and I liked that. 

The romance was spot on as well. I know what I’m going to get with a Mariana Zapata romance and deliver she did. It was a grumpy/sunshine romance and it was the slowest of slow burns and it worked for me. It was twice as long as any normal romance book but it worked. I wouldn’t necessarily read her books every day but I do enjoy them when I’m in the right mood.

I really enjoyed this slow burn by MZ.
I loved how Rhodes and Aurora's friendship developed, so when they finally get together, they were both ready for it.
Rhodes is definitely in my top 3 MZ men. I loved his protectiveness. He wasn't overbearing, just very sweet.
