Eastern Lights

I once met a man on a cold Halloween night. He dressed as a superhero, and I dressed in red. For one night, I was his break from reality, and he was the temporary fix for my broken heart.Two years later, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to become a senior editor at one of the biggest magazine companies in the world. The only catch? Nail an exclusive interview with New York’s finest bachelor: Connor Roe.To the rest of the world he was becoming one of the wealthiest men in New York City. To me, he was simply my once upon a time superhero.My job was to get an exclusive interview with New York’s hottest bachelor. Never in my life did I expect him to want an exclusive with my heart, too.The only problem with my growing feelings for him? I was set to marry his new business partner.

I cannot say enough good things about this installment of the Compass series! It took me like 20 chapters to realize that Connor is the same Connor from Southern Storms! I’m ride or die for grumpy x sunshine but this man had me rooting so hard for a “golden retriever bf.” I cried from beginning to end, except for the moments I was fuming while reading Jason’s parts. Connor’s only flaw? Not kicking Jason’s butt. OMG and Damian?! LOVE HIM. I like my romance books on the smutty side but the plot and characters were written so wonderfully that I didn’t mind how clean this book actually is (has only 2 seggs scenes, I think). If this is already on your tbr or you’re considering adding it, have some tissues ready before you begin 🤍

No sé por dónde empezar, este libro es hermoso. Connor y Aaliyah son personajes tan bellos, me encantó su relación🥺 eran todo lo que no sabían que necesitaban. Fueron un apoyo mutuo y podían ser ellos mismos sin miedo alguno. 

Me encantó como se conocieron y decidieron vivir un destello de amor por una sola noche y aunque fue una sola noche cambio la vida de ambos. Por un momento creí que iba a sufrir más con respecto al compromiso de ella pero la verdad es que no porque su prometido era un idiota y el padre ni se diga.

Amé la relación entre Damian y Connor🥺🥺 y cuando aparecen Jax y Kennedy fue aun más maravilloso.
Sufrí un poco en los capítulos finales pero pude entender el miedo de ambos pero lo importante es que pudieron solucionarlo y vivir una vida juntos. 

De verdad no puedo explicar lo mucho que los amé y su boda AAAAAAHHH es que se casaron vestidos del capitán América y de caperucita roja❤️

En cuanto al segundo epílogo de Damian me dejo con ganas de leer su libro y sobre todo porque es una especie historia de hermanastros así que lo estaré esperando con ansias.

❝Estar cerca de ella era como estar cerca de la mejor parte de mí.❞

Eastern Lights by Brittainy Cherry may just be my top read for 2021. I went into this book with high expectations and it did not disappoint.

I loved every moment of this story, be it frustrating or happy moments. Cherry delivered an emotional second chance romance featuring characters you will both love and hate.

I loved how well developed the characters were and the growth they showed throughout the story made for a splendid read.

Aaliyah and Connor have been through so much, which had me rooting for them to find happiness. Their fears felt so real and relatable. It dominated their lives so much it brought heart-breaking pain to them both. Amidst the heartbreak and pain, the characters experienced fun, romantic and inspiring moments.

Cherry did an awesome job in creating a swoon worthy hero. Connor possessed so many good qualities, one cannot but help fall for him. Not that he didn’t have faults, but they didn’t take away from his awesome characteristics.

Aaliyah’s lack of love in her life from an early age led to her searching for it in all the wrong places. A search which led to her falling for men who treat her less than she deserves. So meeting Connor, developing a friendship with him and subsequently falling for him taught her that love with the right person can be a wonderful and emotional experience.

The secondary characters proved to be an interesting group of people. Some I liked and then were those which left me with a bitter taste.

Eastern Lights hit all the right spots. Connor and Aaliyah’s story is not one I will forget soon. Fans of romance should add this book to their shelves.
