second chance romances are really hard for me to enjoy yet i still pick them up??? 🤦🏽‍♀️ i did have a good time with this one though!! the forced proximity aspect was great & i just loved the whole betrayal aspect by [redacted]. it was a little cliché but it was my kind of cliché.

Really loved to see several aspect of Latinx Christmas traditions although it wasn't super Christmas-y which could be a positive or negative depending on what you're looking for.
I really like their relationship and interactions but I didn't love the conflict trope of leaving someone for their own good/ for their success. Based on that, I felt like Gael needed to do more groveling.
I liked the insert of the villain and thought that was really interesting so I wanted to see a little more of that. The end was a little rushed.
Overall really enjoyed see Latinx love - it can be hard to find in books but I can always rely on Herrera for this. This would be great for someone who is looking for a sweet, second chance romance that just happens to happen during the holidays.

Gosh this was fabulous. (I absolutely must start reading more categories, because I didn’t even know this EXISTED and it’s Adriana Herrera blowing it out of the park as always.) I adored these two.
