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.
I loved the setting for this book and I would love to go explore all the places it mentioned. I lived in Arizona for years and I'm sad I didn't get to Monument Valley while I lived there. It really sounds beautiful.
This was a quick read, novella in length. I didn't feel a real connection with the characters, emotionally or otherwise. It all felt a bit surface and lacked dynamics. I didn't like Kyra at all. I didn't think she was a very good friend. The romance had no sparks but if you are looking for gentle and sweet, this might be a good book for you.
This book did leave me with a hankering for fry bread though and includes a recipe for it at the end of the book. Yum.
