Along Came Amor absolutely slayed me, in the best way. It is beautifully written, deeply sexy and intensely emotional. 

Roman is one of my all-time favorite romance heroes. I get frustrated with a lot of contemporary romance MMCs who are just perfect uncomplicated cinnamon rolls with no baggage or need for growth. Roman is not like that - he has his own issues, and he makes mistakes - but he learns and grows and makes amends to and for Ava. And Ava herself is such a compelling, sympathetic heroine. She’s the ultimate people pleaser trapped by expectations, and crushed by her divorce and her family’s reaction to it. She places all her self-worth on what she can do for others and constantly being at her family’s beck and call. She never wants to be weak or messy, but Roman truly sees her and gives her room to find her way back to herself. It’s a very moving character arc. And the (plentiful) sex scenes are seriously hot, as well as packing an emotional punch. 

Unlike many books which conclude a trilogy, this one also works as a stand-alone. The cast of supporting characters is rich and complex, but never confusing or overwhelming for someone who hasn’t read the previous books (I hadn’t but will certainly be rectifying that). Alexis Daria is a new favorite author for me! . 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an e-arc of this fantastic book.
