She’s apparently a songwriter so good that she wrote over five award-winning albums, but her talent has dried up. She convinces Tobias Rhodes to let her stay, and begins a journey of recovery from her relationship and the unhealed loss of her mother twenty years earlier in a hiking accident. She rents a garage apartment online which turns out to have been posted by the owner’s teen son, Amos, without his knowledge. (“Breaking up” is probably a generous description – her husband, Kaden, is a serious mama’s boy who caved in to Mama’s insistence that they kick Ora to the curb). But with its clumsy heroine, rude but ultimately gold-hearted hero, and bland first person narrator, this book reads as run-of-the-mill YA, with only the swearing and sex scenes making it an adult novel.Īurora de la Torre returned to her hometown of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, after breaking up with her husband, a celebrated country singer whose career was based on Ora’s uncredited songwriting – and who also insisted on keeping Ora a secret. Mariana Zapata is very well reviewed here, so I was excited to try her new book, All Rhodes Lead Here.
