Anchored Hearts
by Priscilla Oliveras
I read this book a few months ago and overlooked the review on this site! (23/6/2021)
This is the first of Priscilla Oliveras' books I have read and thought it was simply wonderful. I had to stop and re-read some of the cultural references but it was an incredibly rich and enjoyable reading experience for me. I loved the scene that was set with the references to Key West and the strong sense of family, commitments, and obligations within relationships, family and community. This book is not only about the romance between the two main characters, but it broadly looks at the families of both characters and all their rich (and and sometimes hilarious) detail.
Anamaria is surprised when Alejandro returns home from his globetrotting and exploring. He's far from happy being home, laid up with an injury that renders him home bound for the short term. He's not sure how he is going to manage it either, coming face to face with Anamaria, who has gone from strength to strength in his absence. Alejandro and Anamaria explore the reasons for his staying away, and her continuing need to stay home. And there's the continuing pull of each other's hearts and minds towards one another, with the question being whose heart is going to be broken when Alejandro leaves again to fulfil his wanderlust.
Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for providing me with an electronic copy of this book to read and review. It was published in late April 2021.
