Love, Within Reason : A Steamy Romantic Comedy Novel | A Pilsen Story by Everalda Ocampo

5.0

This was one of my favorite indie authors/ books to land on my Instagram feed. SO good that I've read it twice since it was released. Everalda is a new to me indie author and I'm glad that she somehow ended up gracing my Instagram and I could find her book. I have not read the rest of the books in this series, but will after reading "Love Within Reason". 

The fake dating troupe is one that can be a hit or miss for me. Some authors are able to write it to flow well within their books and others was a disaster. Everalda did an amazing job allowing this troupe to really make the book flow well, especially in the storyline itself. Mari & Marcos chemistry was a 5/5. You can really see how much Marcos has really cared for her and was such a sweet MMC. Through the book, he really gave me golden retriever vibes, such a perfect book boyfriend for this specific book. 

As a Hispanic reader, I loved that Everalda really went above and beyond to show representation in her characters and her book. It really felt like reading a telenovela and I loved the little details of Hispanic culture shown through the book. I really enjoyed reading this book twice so far and can not wait to read the rest of the books she has out <3
