This book broke me and healed me in a way I never knew I needed. It healed partially the problem fixer person in the family in me.
I needed Ava to heal so badly. I wanted her to not think her value in her family depends on what she did for other, for myself. I am selfish that way. I needed this happy ending for me too. Alexis did this couple justice. I love Roman, but I'm not here for him. I'm here for Ava and I need other people to read this book for her. Her strength and her big ass heart.
The respect I have for Roman so much. I wish more men respected boundaries when they know the woman they want, the woman they love needs to heal. This relationship just was mind-blowing beautiful that I was happy to wait this long for this book.
I got an e-arc of this book on NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I've been a huge fan of the series and the finale did not disappoint. Excellent story, character development and spice level. One downfall was that Ava's insecurities did get frustrating after a bit but overall enjoyable read.
*Along Came Amor* by Alexis Daria is a heartwarming, charming romance that skillfully combines humor, passion, and cultural depth. The story follows Amor, a talented, driven woman navigating love and family expectations while finding her own path in a world that often tries to define her. Daria’s writing is vibrant and engaging, bringing a perfect balance of lighthearted moments with deeper emotional beats. The chemistry between the protagonists is palpable, and their journey feels authentic as they navigate personal growth, challenges, and their evolving relationship. With rich, relatable characters and an engaging narrative, *Along Came Amor* is a delightful read for fans of contemporary romance with heart and humor.
Ava, a buttoned up middle school teacher has just finalized her divorce. Although she’s crushed, she’s determined to commemorate this new chapter in her life, so she visits a bar where she encounters Roman, a sexy bartender. They end up spending an unforgettable night together in his penthouse, agreeing that this will be a no strings attached affair.
Despite his promises to keep it casual, Roman is captivated by her and wants more than heartbroken Ava is able to give. When they find out he’s the best man and she’s the maid of honor in her cousin’s wedding, this revelation delights Roman and distresses Ava.
Scared because she’s genuinely falling for him but convinced it won’t last, she tries mightily to hold him at arms length and to keep their fiery relationship secret from her judgmental and gossip-loving family.
This ultra-steamy, feel-good, and funny romance is filled with a large, nuanced and loveable cast of characters, emotional family dynamics, and is lovingly rooted in Latinx culture. Readers will relish the rewarding culmination of all the connected storylines from the Primas of Power series, in this third and sensational installment.
This conclusion to Daria's Primas of Power series might actually be the best of the bunch and isn't that lovely to hear! Sizzling romance, brilliant characters. If you're reading this one I assume you're a fan and so you are in LUCK!
Alexis Daria has done it again! What a fantastic conclusion to the Primas of Power trilogy. Ava and Roman are hands down my fave couple. I’m always a sucker for millionaire who fell first and hard for a school teacher. The way Rome was so affirming and always taking care of Ava, a perfect man. I feel so seen in Ava as the helpful one in the family, burdened by a need for perfection. In terms of spice, this book was HOT and had me fanning myself at certain moments. Thank you so much Net Galley and Avon for this ARC.
This is one of our book series ever and this book was certainly the cherry on top for the perfect ending. Primas of Power is a series I found myself relating too from book one!
As a Latina first generation daughter I felt so connected to this character. as I do my best each and every day to live my life but also try and be there for my family. Ava and Roman’s story was the perfect ending we has two people who can work together in a relation when trust is build, healthy conversation are being spoken, and support is there.
Thank you so much Avon Books and Alexis Daria for providing an ARC!
"Trust me, I understand the guilt of being a first generation immigrant kid. But you are allowed to live your own life. You don't have to keep doing what your family expects in order to earn their love".
In 2020 I stumbled upon Alexis Daria’s debut ‘You Had Me At Hola’ and I instantly fell in love with the Primas of Power. They were unapologetic, filled with bombastic energy, and they exemplified a loving realistic portrayal of sisterhood. Back then I felt that sisterhood’s rarely got to shine in romance and to see the series expand, grow, and ultimately connect with so many readers over the years has been amazing. One year later I read ‘A Lot Like Adios’ later and loved it as well. Like her Primas, since publishing her first book Alexis has accomplished so much and ushered in a new wave of authors into the romance genre and we as readers benefit from it. Flash-forward to 2024, and now I have the ability to read an advanced reader copy of the final instalment. Seriously, this is a pinch me moment that I will never forget it.
‘‘Along Came Amor’ ’ is the final chapter that closes out such a special series. Alexis has this beautiful way of making readers, giggle, blush, and cry in every single one of her books - and she doesn’t miss in this one. Ava and Roman’s story is the perfect culmination of everything I loved in the previous books of the series. Real conversations on intergenerational trauma, gender roles, and the toxicity in families that can do real damage. But this book shows the power of trust, healthy dialogue, and reassurance. I'm so sad to say goodbye to this series, but this is such a satisfying end that I know many readers will cherish. So Alexis, thank you so much.

Along Came Amor by Alexis Daria is the final in the Primas of Power series and it was a satisfying end to a great series. I found this love story to be entertaining and engaging. I wanted to see what happened and I felt like there was chemistry between the characters. I had fun and know this will be enjoyed by a lot of fellow romance readers.
I loved the Primas of Power series! The last book was totally worth the wait. It was different than I expected, but I loved it. It is fun and steamy, but also deep and will have you in your feels. I’m sad to see the series end, but satisfied with the ending.
I voluntarily read an early copy.
