Review: A Little Too Late by Sarina Bowen #NewRelease


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

As college sweethearts, Ava and Reed had a promising future and Reed’s decision to end their relationship impacted both their lives. A decade later, Reed returns home to Colorado and comes face to face with Ava. Learning she has been working for his father at the family ski resort for the past ten years is a shock. What isn’t so shocking? Ava’s resentment and anger. Reed anticipated a quick trip, just to ensure his father’s upcoming sale of the resort was in order, before returning to his high-powered career in California. But when the details of the deal seem shady, Reed extends his trip and that means more time with Ava. And every interaction makes him realize all the old feelings are still there.

I love a second chance romance and Sarina Bowen does it so well. Ava was such a likable character, and I appreciated her determination and her focus on her own career. It was satisfying to see Reed’s journey as he came to terms with his past and finally opened up to Ava. Bowen delivered the perfect blend of Ava and Reed working together on the sale of the resort, along with their rekindled romance and the resolution of their past.

The narration was provided by audio superstars Andi Arndt and Sebastian York, which made for a stellar listening experience. A Little Too Late was an excellent start to the latest trilogy/collaboration from Bowen, Rebecca Yarros and Devney Perry. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Note: I received an Advance Listening Copy of A Little Too Late. This does not change my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

  5. This one sounds like a good one. I love second-chance romances. It's almost like enemies-to-lovers except that they have a romantic past. I'm glad you liked this one.
