"Angelina Lopez is the new queen of small-town romance--and of our hearts!" --SIERRA SIMONE, USA TODAY bestselling coauthor of A Merry Little Meet Cute Gillian Armstead-Bancroft--Pride of the East Side and once-perfect bruja, wife, and mother--is going to spend her summer getting good at being bad. The first time she left Freedom, Kansas, behind, she did it by doing everything right. This time, she'll hide from the large Mexican American family welcoming her home and work in secret to break the curse that's erased her magical life. Only by doing it all wrong can Gillian get herself and her two children away from the ghosts of her hometown by summer's end. Nicky Mendoza is an answer to her prayers. He was the practical solution to the problem of her virginity when they were younger, and now, as a gorgeous artist in town for only a weekend, he's the ideal man to launch her down the path of ruination. But Gillian isn't the only one who's cursed. Nicky has been plagued by his furtive, enduring love for her as long as he's been haunted by his cadejo, the phantom black dog that stalks his psyche. He'll stick around to be whatever Gillian needs him to be this summer--but he won't touch her. Touching her, then watching her leave again, would ruin him for good.

There's something about the way that Angelina M. Lopez writes her female main characters that really just speaks to me. They are messy and falling apart, don't have all their shit together. I loved the couple and build to them. The tension and longing was strong.
This author has become an auto buy author for me. She does a wonderful job telling a story, bringing in culture history and bringing characters to life.
Full Moon Over Freedom is the follow up to After Hours on Milagro Street, which was a top read for me in 2022. This story focuses on the eldest Torres sister. She moves back home for the summer to try and sort out her divorce and make a life for her and her children, but her ex is making it difficult. The guy she fell in love with years ago is back for the summer as well and the two work together on a project.
This story gives dual POV through third person, which I enjoy when reading. I love the way the author writers her characters making them seem real. Their lives and experiences are easy for readers to relate to and sympathize with.
I highly recommend this book and the series!
It does read as a standalone.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
