Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love a story where the author takes you on a real physical adventure, as well as an emotional one.

In this story, we see Yara Marino embark on a journey to Brazil and the Amazon to explore her late father's humble beginnings, as well as see all the good he did for the local community. Not only does she discover some things about her dad, she also faces truths about herself. Throw in Desiderio Gabriel, the hot bartender/tour guide, and the way she views herself and her life will never be the same again.

"I think I might be scared of being happy."

This was such a lovely story. Yara was brave, awkward, and full of good intentions. She was a cautious city girl scared to try new things, but once she let her guard down a bit and lived in the moment, I enjoyed her new spirit of adventure and her step far outside of her comfort zone. She adapted well and began to really embrace everything she encountered. Her relationship with Rio added another dimension to her growth. He was a genuine, hardworking, caring guy. They had a real spark. Their chemistry was tense and sexy and I loved how he broke his own rules for her. This novella is jam-packed with emotion, fun, and adventure. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
