Description

Years ago, Michelle Amato and Gabriel Aguilar shared a summer of undeniable connection before life pulled them in opposite directions. Now, they are both successful professionals living thousands of miles apart, but a business opportunity brings them back to the Bronx and face-to-face with the past they left behind. Michelle is a marketing expert ready to take the next step in her career, while Gabe is the charming, successful entrepreneur who never quite forgot the girl who got away. This second-chance romance beautifully captures the tension between lingering history and new possibilities. As they navigate their professional collaboration, the chemistry that once defined their youth begins to resurface with even greater intensity. Beyond the undeniable heat, this story shines as a heartfelt exploration of family, cultural heritage, and the courage required to forgive. It is a slow-burn journey that balances humor with emotional vulnerability, showing that some heartstrings are never truly untied. If you appreciate stories where characters must reconcile their professional ambitions with their deepest personal desires, this vibrant, steamy, and deeply human tale will keep you captivated until the final page. It is a triumphant celebration of love that proves you can indeed go home again.

Love this story!

WOO-HOO!!! Was the steam coming out strong with this book!!! This is my 2nd Alexis Daria book and I swear, this book in the "Primas in Power" series is just as good and hot, steamy and to die for as the 1st one. This second chance romance involves Michelle and Gabe. Childhood best friends for years until one night, they almost took their relationship to the next level. That turned out to be a disaster with Gabe leaving town. 13 years later, here we are. Gabe owns a successful gym in LA but needs to go back to the East Coast to open a new location. New location means new marketing for the area, which means.......new hires. The sexual tension of unfinished business when Gabe and Michell first see each other is so hot that I even felt it here in Houston from New York. 😂😂 Having to work together brings up so many childhood memories between the two of them. One aspect of their past relationship that I loved was how they created fan fiction together of one of their favorite shows. Reminiscing on that was so cute. It was awesomely hilarious, sweet and wonderful. But their first hookup, though??!??!? OMG, OMG, OMG!! That was sooo HOTTT!!! Like, OMG! I absolutely love these two! Their relationship and chemistry came to feel so natural once they let go of the past, so the swooniness just leapt off the page and I couldn't get enough. I loved the overall setting, the family and the history this book gave me. Alexis Daria has quickly become an auto-buy authore for me and I cannot…

Great but also a little disappointing.

A childhood friends to lovers romance where Michelle and Gabe haven’t seen each other in thirteen years. They ended their friendship with a huge argument and a hot make out session. I was so looking forward to them seeing each other again and the tension between them. Sadly it just wasn’t there. A car ride and one night where not many words were exchanged. That was all it took for them to resolve it. I had at least expected some pining. Instead I got a story of two friends who find their way back to one another. Friends with benefits. The chemistry between them was great but I expected more romance. I appreciated that I got to know more about their cultures and how Michelle and Gabe finally expressed their feelings towards the end were sweet suited the story so well. Overall a great story but I’m feeling a little disappoined.
