Review: Sleepless in Altan by Jamiya Taylor
/About the Book
As Zora arrives in Altan for a work trip, the only thing on her mind was exactly what she was there for–work. After all of her meetings are canceled due to a family scandal, Zora is left alone in an unknown city with a return flight scheduled for four days later. At the advice of her brother, Zora decides to use her time for fun, turning work into a vacation.
Miles has been in Altan his whole life, born and raised. As a renowned photographer, it’s rare that he met out of towners that caught and kept his interest. A workaholic in his own right, his friends have urged him to live more than he’s been living because he's only getting older.
While out for coffee, Miles runs into Zora–literally–and offers to pay her back for messing up the start of her day. A chance encounter and a spilled hot beverage will carry these two strangers on a journey that exceeds forever in only four days.
Review
Sleepless in Altan was a solid read. The chemistry and connection between Zora and Miles were strong. And while Miles had a poetic way of speaking, sometimes it didn’t fully land and felt out of place. The romance was sweet, and they had many enjoyable moments. However, it leaned very insta-love to me. I also would have liked more backstory for both characters to better understand them and their connection.
Final Thoughts
While the romance in Sleepless in Altan moved a little too quickly and the characters could have had more backstory, it is still a decent novella with a sweet story and lovely writing.
