A review by rachaellsmith
From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata

4.0

This is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. The actual content of the book is actually pretty simple and not all that riveting. That being said it brought me out of a brutal reading slump. This book does slow burn in a unique way. It’s not mutual yearning with denial for a trivial reason that we often see in this genre instead it spends its time focusing on aspects of love that truly matter. Friendship, respect, trust, commitment, and loyalty. This book spends its time building a believable love that is not just sexual tension but a tangible connection that is built from distain but mutual respect for the other. I liked that it didn’t have a super in depth plot but instead spent time creating their friendship. My biggest complaint is we didn’t get to see more competitions with the two of them since it spent a lot of time building up to that.
