R because Adriana knows how to make it hot!

Wow, did Adriana take an unlikeable man and convince me he was indeed worthy of a HEA with Alba!! Alba is just trying to leave her old job behind to start her own business ful time when her ex-boss Theo swoops in and changes her plan because... He is secretly in love with her, of course. But the way this book starts!! Theo is a complete asshole who doesn't understand what he did to make Alba dislike him and it was so good to see how his character grew!!

I love how Adriana writes beautiful stories about Latinx women and her commentary throughout this book on what it means to be a child of immigrants was so important. I love Adriana writes the stories she wants to see in the world. While many notes in this book were similar to some of her past, this was still a beautiful story for Alba and Theo. I'm super curious to see whose story will be next!!

Also I must know what people would choose as their bookish boudoir theme.
