All Rhodes Lead Here

Product Information

I really appreciated the whole small town setting. Palosa Springs sounds like a place I'd love to live, work and do excursions in.

That’s the difference between guys like you and me. If she needed something, you’d give her a hundred dollars from your wallet even if you had more and think that was good enough. I’d give her everything that was in mine.” His voice went hard. “The only person you can blame is yourself, dumbass.”

What price paradise – review

Aurora has a journey of healing and has dealt with grief her whole life with her mums disappearance. An honourable mention is the way the author presented grieving in this book. It was so emotional, raw, and touching. Seeing Aurora deal with what happen but also the people who help her is one of the best aspects of this book. aurora del la torre is the perfect sunshine character to me. positive, but not so much that it becomes annoying (i see you zahra). i loved seeing her discover who she was and learning to deal with her grief. her character grew so much throughout this book. Another big thing in this book was her past of songwriting. I thought this was really cool especially when we get to understand what her songs mean to her. Honestly, this character was amazing. A character who is actually really interesting is hard to come by okay. And she was soooooo funny!!!

As always, Mariana Zapata included a cast of characters to help support Aurora and Rhodes that I adored. Amos, Rhodes’ son, added so much to the story. So did Aurora and Rhodes’ friends and other family. There wasn’t one person (well, maybe Kaden) who I wouldn’t want a book about. I need Zapata to keep writing book in this Colorado setting because I need Clara and everyone else to find love.

Archer’s Voice – Review

I loved Aurora!! She was just so real and so admirable with the way she stood up for herself and how determined and such a relatable person she is. And that scene where she stood up for her mother in law and just kept talking and getting it all out?? I was freakin cheering and clapping so hard for her. I was so proud of her. Life didn't have to be perfect for you to be happy. Because what was perfect really, anyway? Mariana Zapata, buddy, let's talk about your endearment game, shall we? 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 All Rhodes Lead Here simply follows Aurora as she moves to a place she once called home, Pagosa Springs, after being dumped by her long-term famous boyfriend. She wants to start a new life, one full of new opportunities and new memories. She's decided she will rent a garage apartment she saw online, get a job to earn money, and complete the hikes her mother wrote on a list. The story unfolds as Aurora begins a small friendship with her landlord, Mr. Rhodes, and his son, Amos.

all of those tropes kind of worked, rhodes gave of that rip ( Luna and the Lie)/dallas ( Wait for It) vibes with his grumpiness, the slow burn here was actually one of the fastest in terms of Mariana books, usually there's more angst but here between the couple i felt things moved at an okay pace, the sex scene for once wasn't the very last chapter lol. the people we lose take a part of us with them... but they leave a part of themselves with us too." You can feel all along reading that there’s a lot of work from the characters to the world building behind her books, I just have a feeling during devouring them that there’s a world surrounding her protagonists and more to them than what their story is relaying or telling I don’t know if this makes sens but it does in my head,lol. Anyway, I think her style is clearly a hit or miss. aurora may be immature, but man, shes hilarious. i cant remember the last time a book made me blow air out of my nose so much. there are so many interactions that left me highly amused. shes also very kind. so i was able to forgive her immaturity.like when Rhodes started calling Aurora angel face, or when he told her she was beautiful, or when he tended to her wounds after her failed hike?? oorrr when they hugged for the first time and every time after that??? 😭😭 There were so many moments in this book where I was laughing so hard. Go read this right now, and I promise you, you will not regret it!!!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review Every time he opened his mouth, said or did something, I felt the urge to pull him out the book and go sit on his lap.

this gave me KA vibes, mainly the gamble and sweet dreams and the feelings i felt while reading this were close to what i felt when i read my favorite MZ books ( kulti, wall of winnipeg and wait for it) so if you like any of these, im pretty sure you'll like this book. the epilogue was cute and it gave me the family vibes i wanted, loved the way rora confronted her ex kaiden, esp how rhodes stood up for her like kaiden really thought 14 years of being a 11th choice was gonna win over a few months of being someones no 1 priority. quality over quantity ladies. Not only did I love Aurora and Rhodes together, I completely and utterly adored Rhodes son, Amos. I loved the bond he had with Aurora and how he and Rhodes were together. It was so special.I also really liked Rhodes, but definitely not as much as Aurora. Maybe it’s just me but I find MZ’s female characters so much more distinct than her male ones, so I never get particularly attached to any of them. (Ivan is the exception). The thing that definitely set Rhodes apart was his relationship with Amo, which I ADORED. SO CUTE. I would literally read a book of just them interacting.
