Lauren Asher’s books are a real mix for me but I enjoyed this one! I loved seeing a shyer mmc and I really think she dealt with some serious issues quite well. The spice was very enjoyable - didn’t feel like inorganic or out of the blue. The chemistry was so solid and I loved that it was very family centric. The ending felt a little open ended but I don’t think that’s a necessarily a bad thing. I’ll be reading the next in the series!

rent. was. due. and lauren delivered.

the moment i started this book, i couldn't put it down. i really didn't want it to end. one of my favorite reads this year.

julian lopez junior, el hombre que tu eres. julian literally had me blushing and swooning at so many times. seeing his pure love and adoration for dahlia made me so emotional. he'd do anything for her. adding him to my top tier book boyfriends.


dahlia isabella muñoz, mi niña preciosa. after everything dahlia endured, she came out stronger and braver on the other side and that made me love her so much more. she truly is a queen, talented, smart, funny, and she deserves the whole world.


“You made my wish come true without me realizing it.”

dahlia and julian have a beautiful, yet tragic history together. these two going from childhood rivals to lovers seemed inevitable. in the end though, it's obvious that they were made to not only challenge, but, love each other as well.


i also really enjoyed the nosey, meddling family and it often felt like i was reading my own family at times. pleasantly surprised.


usually i'm not a big fan of books where there's dialogue in other languages because it can be cringey or not translated well. but as someone who also comes from a mexican background like the main characters, i was delighted that the sociocultural norms and traditions the characters and their families partook in were written well. also very glad the (mexican) spanish, specifically the dialogue, in the book wasn't cringey.


the (free) extended epilogue from lauren's website had me swooning even more! i cannot wait for the second book to be released summer 2024.
