5.0

I loved the diverse representation and the descriptions of foods and customs is so heartwarming 😭 Despite the differences, there are also so many similarities amongst Hispanic and Latin American countries and that's part of the beauty of it all! This is my first time reading an anthology so I realized I prefer more a build up in stories like in standalone books, however, each story had me engaged and invested, swooning left and right, or not wanting the story to end. I also loved the steam, smut, and spice 😮‍💨 plus I’m a sucker for a happily ever after, and let’s be real, you can’t go wrong with both! 😍 My favorite stories were Meet Me Under the Mistletoe for its sweetness and Santa’s Eager Little Helper for its grumpy/sunshine trope. But my absolute favorite part was how all the characters were connected to each other somehow and how it all wrapped up and came together at the end for Nochebuena 🥰
