Genre: Romantic Comedy

Format: eBook Source: Publisher.
​The national bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola returns with a seductive second-chance romance about a commitment-phobic Latina and her childhood best friend who has finally returned home.

Hi Mich. It’s Gabe.

After burning out in her corporate marketing career, Michelle Amato has built a thriving freelance business as a graphic designer. So what if her love life is nonexistent? She’s perfectly fine being the black sheep of her marriage-obsessed Puerto Rican-Italian family. Besides, the only guy who ever made her want happily-ever-after disappeared thirteen years ago.

It’s been a long time.

Gabriel Aguilar left the Bronx at eighteen to escape his parents’
​demanding expectations, but it also meant saying goodbye to Michelle, his best friend and longtime crush. Now, he’s the successful co-owner of LA’s hottest celebrity gym, with an investor who insists on opening a New York City location. It’s the last place Gabe wants to go, but when Michelle is unexpectedly brought on board to spearhead the new marketing campaign, everything Gabe’s been running from catches up with him.

I’ve missed you.

Michelle is torn between holding Gabe at arm’s length or picking up right where they left off—in her bed. As they work on the campaign, old feelings resurface, and their reunion takes a sexy turn. Facing mounting pressure from their families—who think they’re dating—and growing uncertainty about their futures, can they resolve their past mistakes, or is it only a matter of time before Gabe says adiós again?

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

​𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: A Lot Like Adios is the perfect companion to You Had Me at Hola. It was so much fun to go back to the city with these hilarious characters and their charming romances.

If you’ve read, You Had Me at Hola then you won’t want to miss this one. While it is the second book in the series and can technically be read as a standalone, I think many readers will love it even more if they read it in order! I say this because there are a few crossovers from other characters that were featured in previous books (which I’m sure will also be the case in the next one!). Not only that, but this series is also extremely charming and HOT. I wasn’t expecting this one to be so… sexy but it worked for both Gabe and Michelle’s love story. These two are like dynamite and it’s no wonder why Gabe had to make certain decisions in his past so that he had a chance of the future he wanted (you’ll see what I mean when you read it).

My only complaint with this book is that it didn’t dive deeply into the issues that were talked about. It’s clear that there are family issues with Gabe and while it’s certainly touched upon, I was under the impression it would be much harder to Gabe to forgive than it was. Another thing that wasn’t discussed in depth was the characters sexuality. It’s merely talked about but its not shown much in the story. It seems it was added just to make a statement rather than adding another piece to the plot. I don’t care for it when authors do this. It makes the book seemed unfinished. Oversights are not my cup of tea!

Regardless of the small things that got on my nerves this is still a solid read and I hope the author continues the series as it’s a blast to read! This one has a lot more steam than I expected but I know romance readers are going to love it!
