The conclusion to Alana and Alejandro’s story. We pick back up in book two seeing Alana return to Alejandro on her own decision after finding out the truth about her father and her arranged marriage. The script is flipped in this second book, seeing Alejandro become insecure due to An ex of Alana’s making an appearance. The main climax consisted of a close-to-successful hit, a deranged uncle, & a kidnapped duo. Things are wrapped nicely in a bow by the ending, including sweet Lucia finally finding her true family. 

I enjoyed reading this story, but I felt like it was all over the place a lot of the time. There were multiple plots going on; the Ortega’s, Lucia’s previous family & status of people maybe wanting her dead, Bobby, Alana’s father still being mentioned, a mystery behind Mateo’s shooting, the kidnapping, etc. Some stories felt out of left field, like the Ortega’s. I don’t even know how that came to be an issue for the Montoya’s. 

Also, not sure if this was a choice by the author or a mistake by the editor/publisher, but the lack of real quotation marks absolutely enraged me. It’s something about ‘this being used for dialogue’ instead of “these actual quotation marks” that makes it’s very difficult for me to understand. I hated that.
