This was just as amazing as the first time. I think part of the reason why I love this book so much is because it focuses so heavily on character dynamics and relationships. Character-focused books are my favourite things ever, and that also probably explains why some plot preferring people loved this novel a little less than me. And maybe just a little because I had no clue what the hell to do with my life anymore and that scared the hell out of me. I’ve never met anybody like you.” “I hope that’s a good thing?” “I’ve met people who don’t know what it’s like to be sad. I’ve met resilient people. But you….” He shook his head, his gaze watching me closely in that rabid raccoon way. “You got this spark of life that nothing and no one has taken away despite the things that have happened to you, and I don’t understand how you still manage to… be you.” The people we lose take a part of us with them… but they leave a part of themselves with us too.” Aurora Synopsis

people cried over endings, but sometimes you had to cry over new beginnings. i wouldn’t forget what i’d left. but i was going to be excited—at least as much as i could be—about this start and however it would end." All Rhodes Lead Here worked for me, cuz I knew exactly what to expect when reading a MZ book and it's very comforting like coming home after an exhausting day at work. ARLH pretty much gave me the same vibes as Kulti/The Wall of Winnipeg and Me with a mix of some of her other books, but set in a small town somewhere in Colorado. but since those concerns are nothing new when it comes to MZs brand of romance, so ok i can live with this. mostly because,We learn a lot about Aurora throughout the book and the things that have made her who she is today. Her mom went missing a while ago and no one knows what happened to her. The plot about her mom was really heartbreaking. Does she get closure about this part of her life? BUT i felt like the book was still too long? don't get me wrong i love when authors put a heavy focus surrounding themes within a book for example, loved the football (I'm english soccer isn't real) stuff in Kulti and ice skating in From Lukov with Love, however the hiking stuff here may have dragged on a bit too much and i was bored by the time aurora went on her 632384749th hike. maybe you didn’t have to get over your fears completely to conquer them. maybe if you just faced them in general that counted." PDF / EPUB File Name: All_Rhodes_Lead_Here_-_Mariana_Zapata.pdf, All_Rhodes_Lead_Here_-_Mariana_Zapata.epub It's so sweet how Am was so unsure around Aurora at the beginning and then started to open up to her more and more as the story progressed. How Aurora helped Am with his songwriting and singing and kept encouraging him. That was like their thing.

Sometimes, maybe even more often than just sometimes, you were better off alone. Sometimes you had to learn to be your own best friend. To put yourself first. Aurora was straight up sunshine. For someone who had lost so much, she had a pleasantly positive outlook. Even when she struggled, she was able to push herself by staying positive. Rhodes, on the other hand was a storm cloud. He had this gruff exterior. I loved how Aurora chipped away at it to get to his fluffy center. Their romance was the slowest of slow burns, but it built in a way that felt natural to the characters. Aurora and Rhodes were pure magic together. THE WHOLE EPILOGUE was freaking cuuuuteee!!!! Amos putting ultrasound pictures in his dorm room!!! Plaaseeekfdsöfjdlka my heart!!! 🥺🥺🥺Mariana Zapata’s storytelling is incredible. I love the way she develops her characters and we get to watch all the goodness unfold. I never wanted this story to end‘ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

I wish that I could tell you that I hope you'll both find peace and happiness in your lives, but I'm not that good of a person. What I hope for is that you'll leave me alone... If I see you or Kaden again, I'll make sure you regret it." I’m so glad to hear you loved this one! I only read 2 Mariana Zapata books so far, but I LOVED them both so I definitely want to read more by her, starting with this one 🙂 The whole situation between Kaden and Aurora was heartbreaking I couldn’t even fathom the stuff Kaden and his mum was doing. The way Kaden used her songs about her mum for his own benefit not giving her credit or his mum counting her birth control pills to make sure they wouldn’t have a child together. i know forgiveness is apparently the best thing ever but is it really? do the wrongdoers really deserve our forgiveness? nah bish i don't think so.

Nobody in their right mind would let you walk away from them. Not once and no way in hell twice, angel." Grief was the final way we had to tell our loved ones that they´d impacted our lives. That we missed them so, so much.” tobias rhodes, this grumpy, sexy dilf will have you swooning HARD. he is the dilf to end all dilfs, the way he won me over so fast. he is the biggest grump but also the biggest softie who will do absolutely anything for aurora and amos. when he came out of his shell and we were shown just how protective and possessive he can be I WAS DONE FOR.

Because as much heartache and tears as I’d wasted in my previous life, the happiness I’d found here balanced it. And maybe with time, it would more than make up for it. Maybe one day it would overshadow that period completely." after a break up, aurora del la torre decides to move to her childhood home, pagosa springs, where she hopes to start over. she ends up at a garage apartment she rented online, which turns out to have been put up by the owner's son, amos, without his knowledge. desperate, she convinces the owner, tobias rhodes, to let her stay for a while. Because I might know everything that happened had been for the best, but it didn’t mean I was a good person who wanted the best for her ex. " 😌 you go girl! Rhodes is the perfect grump and a mix between Reiner Kulti and Aiden Graves. The Heroes that don't talk that much, but show they care through their actions and that's exactly who Rhodes is. The quiet and overprotective dad who would walk through fire for everyone he cares about. Scarred for life watching you grab Dad's butt like that, but I'll get over it. Thanks for wondering!" he hollered sarcastically before shaking his head and closing the door.

Archer’s Voice – Review

hmm. okay, okay. it's cute. and ya know, i was traumatized from that "kiddo" incident and i'm grateful that Rhodes actually called her something sweet and not something that feels weird and illegal because- I think Aurora might actually be in my top 3 MZ female protagonists, because wow she was HILARIOUS! I didn’t expect to like her nearly as much as I did. I honestly don’t know what it was, but she was just so likeable and fun. All the scenes with her friends (Thank you Mariana Zapata for actually portraying healthy female friendships in your books) were the best things ever, and it was amazing following Ora on her journey.
