Dani is a Miami marketing coordinator with a well-known record label. She listens to just about any genre of music--except reggaeton. 
I really enjoyed this one from start to finish, a one day read and a good representation of enemies to lovers.

Many of us are taught that our Latin food is unhealthy, greasy or junk food, but Dalina Soto teaches us to celebrate our culture and our food in an  intuitive healthy way.  We do not have to stop eating our platános, rice or beans; we just need to pay attention to our portions.  She teaches us many helpful ways to stay healthy. 
I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about about intuitive eating. I especially recommend this book for Latina women

After Covid Jack Jr. has just woken from a 23 month coma to find his estranged family by his bedside, but not his fiancé. His life - career, relationships - is not the same anymore. 
This was a story of loss and redemption. Jack Jr. rediscovers his love of making sushi along side his father while he builds a relationship with his teenage nephew, works to repair his relationship with his brother and his new-found romantic interest in one of his care nurses, Emil. 
This is a book about second chances, finding your way, redemption, family and life.
