ARC Review: The One Who Got Away by K.L. Shannon

Publication Date: September 4, 2024

It was so fun getting to read The One Who Got Away and getting to dive into another rockstar romance! I loved the process of the romantic connection building between Rory and Hannah. There were so many delicious slow burn, tense moments that I loved. 

While I don’t read a lot of age-gap romance, this one totally worked for me. They had the fun banter and ridiculous musical chemistry that led to more physical chemistry. Both characters go through a time of healthy healing and learning how to better communicate those needs rather than running away, and that’s a beautiful thing to see. I believed in them both from the very beginning, which was lovely.

K.L. Shannon does a wonderful job creating compelling characters with multi dimensional lives and rich histories. The romance is gorgeous and spicy at all the right moments. I enjoyed every moment and would absolutely read this again! 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
