Kiss Me, Catalina by Priscilla Oliveras

4.0

I’ve come to really enjoy this series. It’s rich in Mariachi and Mexican culture with a STRONG familial presence at the center. This story focused less on the entire Capuleta family and more on Catalina herself. It was nice to get a window into Catalina’s past and her career and her work with Patricio. Cat is such a strong and confident woman, it was nice to see her vulnerable side and to see her let down her guard with Patricio. I LOVED Patricio and I loved the additional insight into his life and career as well. I truly feel that the two of them complemented each other well-a perfect match!

The writing was smart and my theatre nerd heart appreciated the subtle nods to “The Taming Of the Shrew” and “Kiss Me Kate”. I will say though that the timeline felt off, and I wish the story gave us just a little bit more. This was a fairly quick read, but some aspects of the story felt a bit rushed, I would’ve liked just a bit more.

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and Montlake. All opinions are m
