My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Long Road to Serenity is a sweet young adult friends to lovers romance story that found a way into my heart. The story flowed easily and was not rushed trying to get to the finish line. It slowly evolved and developed over time as our main characters “grew up”. You can’t help but to be drawn into their lives and into the story.

Astraea and Gabriel met when they were young children and together they grew and blossomed, but when things change promises that were made were broken. Love that was strong gave way to hurt. Lifelong bonds became shattered. Will they ever be able to find their way back to each other or will hurts from the past stop them? Will they be able to face their past and grow as individuals to find true love?

This is a great romance story

5 Stars

This is my first book by this author and I can honestly say it will not be my last. I loved every single thing about this story. The way she went back to the beginning to two young children meeting for the first time and forming a friendship was awesome. There was just enough in each part of the dated chapters for me to feel the relationship that was forming between Astraea and Gabriel, and I truly appreciated this story being told by both of them, having both of their thoughts and feelings made this story that much more special.

The twists and turns in their friendship was so real, I felt as they grew that it was awesome that it wasn’t all wine and roses and that real life can play havoc on any friendship, especially real life that includes fighting in combat in the Middle East and dealing with all of the after effects that brings.

I loved every one of the main characters in this story, I loved how the closeness that Astraea and Gabriel shared was shared and accepted by all the Varon brothers and how she became the little sister none of them thought they wanted. This was just an all around perfect story, one that had me reading every single second I could. I absolutely saw the drama coming but how it was all written was spot on!! The ending Oh My Word..I think I cried through the entire epilogue.

I want more!! I think Jasmine should get a story and each one of the Varon brothers as well, if this were to happen I would be the first in line to one click each one!!

Amazingly awesome!! One of those books that deserves a higher rating than we are allowed to give…

The Long Road to Serenity by M.L Garcia is a friends-to-lovers story and the first book that I have read from this author. I really didn’t know what to expect going into the book and can now say that the author took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride, that had me zipping through a myriad of feelings before finally setting me back on my feet again, happier for the experience.
It seemed to me that the story read like a journal in parts and I am still not sure or if I liked or dislike it. I did enjoy the story and liked the characters, even though they frustrated me at times, especially with the push-pull that happened. The story touches on several sensitive topics, which I think the author handled compassionately, while still depicting them in an informative, realistic and believable way.
The characters do go through quite a lot and have some fairly intense issues and obstacles to get over. I liked how the author brought it all together in the end.

Thank you, Ms. Garcia!
