About this listen

When a romance author meets a mysterious stranger, love is the last thing she expects to find in a funny and heartfelt novel about second chances by a New York Times bestselling author.

A city girl leaves her life behind in LA to start over in a small town…

It’s a cliché, but it’s also Amelia Taylor’s life. And her new life as a romance novelist and motelier is going great—until Nathan Hart checks in.

Of course he’s disastrously handsome, thoroughly disagreeable, and seems to be set against Amelia on sight. Of course there’s smoldering tension between them that can’t be ignored. They’d make the perfect enemies to lovers story. It’s one of Amelia’s favorite tropes.

But the man in room 32 seems genuinely broken, and it’s going to take more than romance tropes and wishful thinking to get past his wounds. As a tentative friendship grows into a deeper connection, Amelia and Nathan both realize that facing each other’s painful secrets takes courage. Do they dare take the risk and hope it ends happily after all?

Critic reviews

“Yates’s protagonists turn out to be perfectly matched as they help each other get over past heartbreak. Readers will have no trouble rooting for these two.”—Publishers Weekly

I'm not enamored with it, but it wasn't a bad read. I didn't particularly love structuring of the story around tropes, although that's probably just me, and I couldn't really find reasons to connect with either the heroine or the hero.

The story's OK, and there's enough there to theoretically elicit a strong emotional response, but I just didn't get it. Maybe where it's a bit too lyrical, and feels like we spend too much time in the character's head and not enough time with things that are actually happening?

Alas. Fairly average. OK, if there's nothing else going, but nothing to rush to your nearest bookshop for.

OK, but not mind blowing
