This was such a sweet cute read. This is a second chance romance which personally isn’t my favorite to read but I was hooked in right away and eager to see how the characters would react to being in close proximity again. This story will be enjoyable for people who like a feel good rom-com. It’s pretty low on angst but has some sweet tender moments. The story progressed fast and I found myself enjoying all the characters. I wish maybe we got a little more background or flashbacks to the couple’s “break up” just to get a fuller picture. The spice in the story was also well done and the scenes fit in perfectly. My biggest intrigue though was the side characters and I am SUPER interested in their story 👀. I just know their book is going to be right up my alley!

Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la Rosa
5.0
I was eagerly waiting for Gabby’s book when we first met the Luna sisters in book 1 and her story did not disappoint! Gabby, the youngest and most outspoken Luna sister has always intrigued me since I felt we shared many similarities. My heart ached for her so much while reading. Sebastian, the Duke of Whitford, the bane of Gabby’s existence or so she thinks, became one of my favorite men of this series! I loved how both him and Gabby came together and how supportive he was of her. I just love them both so much! But like always, my favorite thing about the series is the sisters relationship! I love their growth and seeing them bond over the past 3 books.
I also enjoy learning about the history of Mexico during this time period and I think Liana does a great job of balancing history and romance. I’ve learned so much while reading this series!
I’m sad to say goodbye but this series ended beautifully! Loved the epilogue and hey maybe one day we can meet the Luna sisters again!
