This story is a delightful read of second chances and mutual pining. Due to not having truthful conversations, Mari decides to accept getting married to a man who is not the one who she's loved for years. Javi for his part, has decided to finally declare his love only to find out that maybe it's a little too late. More than When Harry Met Sally, this book had My Best Friend’s Wedding vibes, or maybe both. The author takes on a journey from when they first meet to the present. This book made me giggle in some situations. It was a tad longer than it should've been where some passages didn't add anything new to the story. The resolution felt a bit rushed exactly because we spent time on things that were mentioned before. Nonetheless, I recommend this book to fans of friends to lovers, witty banter, and constant timeline shifts stories. I have read other books by Mia Sosa and it is just as good.

This very short novella is pack full of feelings. You have three Irish men who think they'll never going to meet their partner and then on the other side of the world is their destined Omega. I thought this story benefitted from Amy's knowledge of South American customs. The trauma these people overcame to be together deserved a longer book. Still, I think Amy condensed the key points of the tale and gave us an enjoyable read. If you are into angst heavy omegaverse books, this is for you.

Not my cup of tea. Still I appreciate how much care there was developing the back story for these characters. How we get to know they why of their present behaviour. While spicy, it does not take over the story. If you are into alpha mafia heroes, mafia princess with a damsel in distress aura, this book is for you. It has enough intrigue and plot, and twists to pass the time.

Overall a great story, spice level perfect. It just became a bit repetitive in the middle with the back and forth insecurities. Then, the end felt rushed.

This book was a delightful read. When the MFC it's in danger, the MMC volunteers to be her bodyguard. They had a relationship years ago and it was never resolved, so what better why to take care of all this mess? Create a fake engagement of course. But like all the best romances, the lines blurred rather quickly and the feelings became real.
This second chance story is full of character and emotion. The author lovingly told their story for us to understand their heartache. Great tale.
