Review: A Little Too Late (Madigan Mountain #1) by Sarina Bowen


A Little Too Late (Madigan Mountain #1) by Sarina Bowen is LIVE!
Release Date: October 4, 2022


How to behave when the guy who broke your heart two thousand miles away turns up in your office:

One: Don’t drop your lucky coffee cup in shock, even though it’s been ten years.

Two: Don’t get defensive when he asks how you ended up working his family’s ski mountain… and why you kept it a secret.

Three: Give him the worst room in the resort. He deserves it for suddenly waltzing back in like he owns the place. (Which he kind of does.)

Four, five, six, seven, eight and nine: Do not kiss him in the hot tub.

Ten: Try to keep your heart intact after you break all of your rules.

Because Reed is leaving again. Hate can't turn back into love. And it’s a little too late…



MY REVIEW

Reed's coming back home because his dad is selling the family business, the one he walked away from. Seeing his ex Ava again, finding out she works for that family business? Yeah, uh, it's not exactly a welcome sight for him, but he has to work with her if he wants to save this business. He can ignore the fact that they still have that chemistry. He can ignore the fact that he's falling in love all over again but he's still not going to stick around after everything is wrapped up with the business...


Ah second chances, one of my favorite tropes. If they're written like this one - low on the angst, high on the heart, in a beautiful setting with an adorable couple at the center, then I'm sure to be a fan, and I definitely am. Reed and Ava fall back into each other comfortably and easily, with obvious strong feelings still there, and I was rooting them on with every page that flipped. The Madigan Mountain series is off to a wonderful start, I can't wait for the second Madigan to fall in love when A Little Too Close is released.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
