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.
