Category romances are like a shot of seratonin and this is no exception. My only quibble is the use of the evil stepmother trope, which isn't my favourite.

Solid Short Scintillating Summer Story. This is one of those great vacation reads because of its brevity- at around 150 pages, you're not committing to too much, so you can enjoy whatever you're doing on vacation itself and still have a solid escape during downtimes. As to actual trope classification, some might call it enemies to lovers - the couple does in fact start out this book in that form - but others might classify it as second chance - they start out as enemies because of a failed romance years before the events of this tale. Either way, solid mashup of boardroom / entertainment drama as our leads clash over who will take over a multimedia powerhouse, and with our leading lady just as capable as our leading man of taking on any challenge presented. Also features a wider array of Spanish speaking ethnicities and nations than is usually presented in US media, so there is that as well. :D Very much recommended.

I loved this. I am having a great time getting to know this author! This story follows former lovers Esmeralda and Rodrigo as the vie for the same position of CEO at a multi million dollar producing company. I thought their story was believable despite how short the book is. I really enjoyed seeing the tension between them build and how they resolved conflict. I appreciated that Herrera made certain to point out larger issues in their relationship that needed work as allowed space for that with the epilogue. This also made me feel nostalgic for 90s sitcoms I grew up watching.

Herrera can do no wrong in my world and this book is another perfect example. Short, sweet, fun, spicy and packs a wonderful, dramatic wallop!
