Old Flames and New Fortunes

I devoured this book in almost one sitting and, at the 3rd quarter of 2023, I predict this will be my favorite romance of 2024. If I'm mistaken, we'll have a strong romance year ahead, and I'm here for it!

Sarah Hogle stories are always magical, beautifully chaotic and heartwarming. This one is no exception and I adored every bit of it.

Romina is a sweet, original and fun character, impossible to not love and root for. She had her bit of suffering, which with her lovable personality makes the reader very attached and protective of her.

Alex is just wonderful! If Nicholas and Wes could have a kid, Alex would be the result. We don't have his POV, but this only intensifies the slow burn.
He makes it abundantly clear how much he loves and wants Romina, and I fell hard for him.

There is a twist in this story that affects the readers, and is causing mixed opinions. Honestly, it messed with my head and my heart too, but if you keep going you'll see that the resolution is good and makes sense. I actually see this as a testament of Sarah's good writing. I was an emotional puppet in her hands, from laughing to excitement, to crying.

I can't have enough of Romina and Alex, and if I can't get more chapters of them, at least I'm hoping Sarah will give us Luna's and Zelda's love stories, with a lot of glimpses to Romina and Alex HEA.

This story gave me all the feels, tingles, butterflies, heartburn, euphoria and reminded me of the reasons I like to read romances.

I would like to thanks G. P. Putnam's Sons and Edelweiss for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
