But the rest of the steamy scenes, I thought, made sense where they were, because the chemistry was there and it worked. Before then, it seemed like Ethan was still far too annoyed with Tia to want to even think about that right now. I didn't really feel the chemistry between them happened until after they got on the road.

It seemed like they'd only known each other for a day and they are suddenly about to have sex.

I thought the initial attraction between them was rushed a little and could have been executed better. I can totally see Tia coercing grumpy Ethan to ride the rides and buy her food. There were some funny moments in the book, like the amusement park.

Tia was a strong heroine who tries to make light of the situation with Ethan's worrying, and making sure that Carol is happy. Ethan is a complete worrywart about his awesome grandmother who has this bucket list of daredevil things she wants to do in her lifetime. Bourne's books because she weaves such fun and interesting characters into an unforgettable story. It had me engrossed all the way until the very last page. This was a really fun, sweet romance to read. Off to get the other two books in the trilogy.Įvery Road to You follows Tia, Director of a cosmetics company, and Ethan, a lawyer, on a crazy, but fun adventure across the country to find Ethan's living-on-the-edge grandmother, Carol, who had ran away with her long-time sweetheart. Smoothly written, well paced, and a thorough pleasure. The hero has the thinnest possible alpha exterior and is enormous fun, there's a paean to terrible music that people like so stop being a snob, the story doesn't dismiss the consequences of living for the moment or the hero's real fears, and Carol the motorbike granny is my life goal. The heroine has an open heart and glee in life without being a manic pixie dream girl, and I particularly loved a scene where the hero points out, correctly, that her caring nature is actually enabling family members to harm themselves. The makeover was the heroine's responsibility and she actually goes along to sabotage the search, and hopefully make the hero aware he's being a killjoy. Tense lawyer and spa owner go on a road trip in pursuit of his granny, whose recent Tina Turner makeover has led to her zooming off on a motorbike to carry out a bucket list that includes poker games, roller coasters, and getting married in Vegas.
