“Takes One to Know One” by Lissette Decos is a rom-com that partially takes place in Puerto Rico.

 Thank you Forever for providing this ARC. I also received an ALC from Dreamscape Media. Opinions from this review are completely my own. 

 Dani is a publisher for a record label and needs to work with the reggaeton singer “El Rico” while he records a new album. The issue is that she lied about liking reggaeton. 

This was a quick read for me and I enjoyed the story. The fact that they go to Puerto Rico to record the album helps Dani connect with her father, even after he is gone. I liked her character development during the book. 

The audiobook is narrated by Ramona Master. Her narration improved the experience of reading the book. She did a good job with the characters and had a great accent. 

The relationship with Rene is a slow burn as they cannot stand each other in the beginning. But after spending more time together they develop a friendship and in the end a relationship. We only have Dani’s POV, so I feel like Rene’s character was underdeveloped. 

Even of the romance is not the main plot, there are some sweet moments and there is a happy ending.
