All Rhodes Lead Here

Product Information

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! Since this is a MZ book there were a few plot twists/ plot lines I didn’t see coming, like the single dad trope (sort of), and how the music and songwriting tied into the book, and I loved that! All in all, this book had the perfect blend of actual events and scenes where the characters were just doing domestic things. Mariana Zaptata is hands down one of my favorite authors. She's the queen of slow burn and every time she releases a new book, I read it straight away. All Rhodes Lead Here was another win for me. I adored Rhodes and Aurora's story. 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.

The book is written with a single pov —Aurora’s— I loved being constantly in her mind throughout the story. Especially when she was drooling over Rhodes at every occasion😭 — I ended up laughing so hard every time cuz Ryohei was absolutely weirded by Ora’s obsession with Rhodes’ muscles.🤣— We love you—I love you—because you’re mine. Because being around you is like being around the sun. Because seeing you happy makes me happy, and seeing you sad makes me want to do anything I have to to get that look off your face.” 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

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. That entire beefy, hunky body trembled lightly, I faintly noticed. “No more hiking by yourself,” he whispered roughly, so hoarse it scared me. “No more.”

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. Aurora is such a relatable character and so so lovable, she’s nice to everyone and yet lets no one roll over her ou presque👀, she’s a real ray of sunshine, funny and down to earth, so so modest even with how and who she was used to leave and be around. She putted up with a lot and faced a lot of hurt and pain since her teenhood and still managed to be this positive and optimistic, beautiful spirit. She’s clearly an inspirational, strong female character, one of my all times favorite. the people we lose take a part of us with them... but they leave a part of themselves with us too." nobody in their right mind would let you walk away from them. not once and no way in hell twice, angel."

the setting, outdoorsy life and the sweet moments between aurora, rhodes and amos was just so wholesome. this book felt so cozy, it was a relaxing and comforting read. also the relationship between aurora and amos warmed my heart. 🫶🏼 The people we lose take a part of us with them… but they leave a part of themselves with us too.” Aurora Synopsis am I the only one who thought that the drama with Kaden right at the end of the book (if I'm not mistaken the last chapter before the epilogue) was unnecessary???? There was not much plot, you have have inserted that drama somewhere between 5% and 90% of the book and I wouldn't have said a thing, because not much happened anyway, but putting it in the very last second. I can't and I was annoyed. As if it wasn't enough that Aurora had to confront the annoying ex-mom.💀 I felt Aurora's grief as my own and I guess that, along with Ora's infinite positivism towards life and her constant drooling over the handsomest and kindest fictional man that's ever been created, made me relate to her in a way I didn't think was possible.

SECOND READ REVIEW (September’22) - This was the first book I ever read by MZ and I always knew that I loved it - but now that I’ve read all of her books (and a few of them more than once already) I think this one might actually be my favorite. she kinda reminded me of luna and/or Sal w/ the whole killing w/ kindness, which r one of my fav type of characters Madison gave her heart to a boy at the age of sixteen, but all she got in return was a broken heart and a swollen belly. Tobias and Amos Rhodes were obviously a big part of this story and I also enjoyed learning more about them and their interesting family. In particular, I love how Zapata shows the growing relationship with both of them individually. We get a lot of scenes with just Aurora and Amos, just Aurora and Tobias, and Aurora with both of them. I really want to stress how important that was for me. Her falling in love with both of them in different ways made this a really wholesome story. Nothing felt forced in this book!! I died a little the first time Tobias called her “sweetheart.” It's with great relief that I'm proud to announce I won't have her endure the torture of spending time with America Singer's lousy ass, because this was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.When you lose enough, you learn to take happiness where you can find it. You don’t wait for it to be handed to you. You don’t expect it in big firework-like displays. You take it in small moments. and now let's talk about the dilf to end all dilfs. how do i feel about Rhodes.. hm.. let's just say, non-fictional men could NEVERRR!!!. would a non-fictional man really build a tent for you because your camping trip was cancelled so he did all this just so he could see you smile again? would they? WOULD THEY? yeah, i don't think so. though, even if i love this man, just like in hands down, i still felt more connected with the heroine more than the Hero but i'll talk about this later.

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!!! 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.”If you loved From Lukov with Love– the sensational TikTok hit that is captivating readers all over the world – then you don’t want to miss any of Mariana’s unique romances! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree! I've noticed that's a pattern in Zapata's books. Her male leads seem to be unable to communicate the best. They're not the best at showing their emotions and expressing their feelings, but they show the love and care they have for their friends in different ways. Rhodes is no exception to this, and I'm honestly not complaining. I love it. He's grumpy and tired at first, but his character development starts to unfold as he realizes there is actually more to Aurora than he thought.
