Thirty Nights by Ani Keating is a book I randomly crossed paths with while I was scanning through NetGalley and I am glad I found it. Honestly the cover is what caught my attention and when I read the summary, I immediately requested it.

Elisa/Isa is the heroine and I liked her. When her parents died, she made her way to the US to go to school and now she is one week away from graduation and her visa has been denied. With only 30 days left, Elisa needs to figure out what she is going to do. Going back to England isn’t what she wants but she doesn’t really have a choice. With the move on the horizon, Elisa needs to figure out how to say goodbye to the friends and family she’s made during her time in the US.

Aiden Hale is the hero and boy, what a hero. He has scars and secrets and when he meets Elisa, he is drawn to her but he doesn’t necessarily figure out why until he meets her again. The scars that Aiden carries are deep but despite his struggles, he has become very successful and very rich.

Shortly after being given the bad news, Elisa meets Aiden and from that moment, she can’t seem to get him out of her head. When she comes face to face with him again, they are both clearly drawn to each other and they begin an affair that could cause more heartache than not. Admittedly, I was cheering for these two the entire time. Because neither of them disclose their “big secret” until after they are already invested in each other, they aren’t necessarily willing to just part ways which made me happy.

Now…eventually things take a turn and even though these two clearly love each other, they are forced to make decisions that don’t necessarily give these two an immediate HEA. Because of some decisions Aiden makes - this book ends with a pretty solid cliffhanger. Don’t get me wrong…things move forward and get resolved but my heart hurt at the end of this book and I absolutely need to know what happens next for these two characters.

I have been on an Adult Romance kick lately and I have to say, this book stood out from the pack for me. Yes, it is angsty but I am completely ok with that. If you are looking for something that has solidly built characters, a fantastic, page-turning story consider checking this one out. I am glad I came across this book and can’t wait to see where Keating takes these character’s stories.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
