This book was so good!!

I loved reading Jasmine's perspective — she's definitely not your typical romance mc. She's opinionated, she's...a bit of a bitch (but we still love her) and so hardworking to achieve her goals.

Her and Ivan were just 🥰🥰. Their relationship progressed so naturally and they complimented each other really well. I was a bit hesitant at first but it all worked out in the end.

I did have a few issues with the book. I absolutely couldn't stand Jasmine's family, they were so rude to her. There were also some really weird fatphobic lines and razor propaganda?? That's why it's not 5 ⭐

Jasmine is very stubborn and headstrong but Ivan is great. So caring and kind.

Mariana Zapata is queen of the slow burn but I was disappointed in this compared to Wall of Winnipeg: Jasmine seemed very immature and the dynamic between the Suarez family and Jasmine & Ivan at the beginning felt very immature. Considering she was the youngest of five children at 26 years old, family dinners felt like a bunch of teenagers.

Had to take off half a star bc the beginning was so slow. Nothing but inner dialogue for the first like 5 chapters. Also I’m sorry I can’t get over the nickname Meatball. It almost grew on me but nope.

Now for what I love:

Ivan Lukov I love you. Jasmine I love you <3

The tension, the banter, the ice skating. YES

“I believe in you. In us. Regardless of what happens, you will always be the best partner I've ever had. You'll always be the hardest working person I've ever known. There will only ever be you.”

WHY TF IS THIS CALLED “FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE” WHEN THERES NOT A LETTER SAYING FROM LUKOV, WITH LOVE?! I was clowning to my friend about some lovely letter *sighs*

I rate books on how much I enjoyed reading them, and given that this is my first romance novel and the fact that I skipped studying for my Neuroscience exam to read this in one day—blushing, smiling, kicking, and screaming all the while—should tell you all you need to know. Only once complaint…I WANT MORE JASMINE/IVAN. Ivan was so in love with her I was screaming, and I want more of them.

From Lukov With Love offers tensions an great chemistry between Ivan and Jasmine. I love that Ivan really sees Jasmine and understands her. I could have done without all of the negative body talk in the book, and felt that the stalking/online harassment storyline was a bit of throwaway because it barely is mentioned. I did enjoy this book regardless and would recommend to fans of slow burns, enemies to lovers, or sports romances.
