Anchored Hearts by Priscilla Oliveras
3.0
"Anchored Hearts" is a sweet (and spicy) second chance romance that will leave readers clutching their books and desperate for more. Priscilla Oliveras does an amazing job with her Own Voices Latinx romance bringing together two former high school sweethearts who were a classic case of "right person wrong time." What I loved most about this novel is that Oliveras does an incredible job of having the characters do the emotional labor of sorting through their past hurts and their past faults within their relationship and in their wider lives, before having them come back together as a couple. There is no "instalove" here.
When Alejandro Miranda left Key West to pursue a career as a professional photographer he left a gaping hole in his family, and in his heart. Now a decade later he is forced to return home after an accident while shooting on location. His relationship with his father is just as fraught as the day he left, and when his mother calls over his ex-girlfriend, Anamaria, to check on his injury he discovers his feelings for her are equally unresolved. Will Alejandro be able to carve a space back out for himself in both their lives? Or will Anamaria always be "the one who got away?"
Fans of Jen DeLuca, Tessa Bailey, and Talia Hibbert will devour "Anchored Hearts" and will be quick to check out the remainder of Oliveras catalog as well. She creates unforgettable characters, memorable moments, and heartwarming endings that any fan of the romance genre will be sure to treasure.
