This is my favorite of the three Vega family love stories so far! (It was also by far the steamiest/spiciest.) I just love a good second chance romance. The flashback scenes were well done and not overused. I also love how chill the best friend's brother trope seems to be, compared to the brother's best friend trope. Sofi's best friend (Kamilah!) is nothing but supportive of Sofi's relationship with her brother.

Sofi has major daddy issues, and she projects that trauma onto Leo. I didn't necessarily like this because I didn't find the characterization fair to Leo, since he's always shown up for her and is nothing like her father. Buuuuut I understand that trauma distorts reality, so I can see why Sofi would feel this way, even if it wasn't correct. She knows how to hold a grudge and run away from her problems rather than face them head on. Everybody in Leo's life seems to misunderstand him, so I can see why it hurt so much that Sofi saw him in the same way.

The third act breakup felt over the top and overdramatic (I feel this way about most third act breakups). I expected the breakup because the other two books in the series had them too, but I just wanted to grab their shoulders and shake both of them (well, I would be nice and only grab Leo's good shoulder) to stop trying to intentionally sabotage their relationship by picking a fight! Go take a second to calm down first before having a conversation because otherwise you'll say things you regret and don't actually mean! I honestly didn't think the family meddling was THAT bad, especially compared to what Papo did to bring Kamilah and Liam together.

Also, I love that his pet name for her is bombón. Their relationship dynamics are so tender and sweet, ugh.

I love the entire Vega family and can't wait to see what Natalie Caña writes next.

Thanks to the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!
