A Monumental Love by Susan AylworthMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received to Review
Genre: Contemporary Romance Novella
Book Description: Roxelle McCann is eager to meet the family of her best friend, so she takes a mini-vacation to the Navajo Nation. Roxelle expects to find out more about Navajo language and customs and to be awed by the beauty of Monument Valley. She does not expect to find love among the monuments. The man she meets offers both a surprising possible future and a tender reminder of the past.
My thoughts: I have to go and visit Monumental Valley in the Navajo Nation. It sounds amazing. I could almost imagine myself there.
Roxelle visits the childhood home of her best friend, Kyra, who happens to be Navajo. It was interesting to learn a little of the culture and life on the reservation of the Navajo. In some instances it sounded a little bleak, but not without hope.
Roxelle is reintroduced to her childhood protector, Will. He helped save her from the bullies of her school and made her feel important. Now as an adult he is performing the same comfort, but this time it is as adults and there is an undeniable attraction between them. They have many interests in common and he helps her see a way to fulfill some of her career dreams.
Kyra has a volatile relationship with her fiancee. She is a big part of the book, but not the focus of the story. She was a little difficult to connect with, but I adored Roxelle and Will.
This is a sweet romance that is novella length.
