I devoured this book.

My favorite out of the series. For so many reasons, Ava's story touched me. And the way she had to fight with herself to find herself. She felt as if she couldn't take up space or else she was a bother to everyone. which could not have been more from the truth. I loved that she found herself worth and her safe space all in the same place.

Roman, My man, My man uh he is ultimate heart eyes. this man was the definition of "If he wanted to he would" and oh boy does he ever. the way he loved hard before he even put his feelings into words, and how he cared for his mother and sister. swoon.

There is so much that i could say but i don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but this needs to be on your to be read list.

Note that this is more of a 3.5 star rating rather than a 4.
This book felt like a book I've read countless times before -- and I don't mean that in a bad way. It was the perfect book to binge for a silly little romance time. Even aside from that though, Ava felt so relatable and I was rooting for her the whole time. I seriously wanted to fight Ramon whenever he was pushing Ava a little too fast in their relationship and felt like he was all in too early (I was like sir, please chill). But still super fun!

A fun, sexy, tender story that plays on one of my favorite tropes--a one night stand turned more. I love the way Alexis develops this story and brings these two together in more ways than one!

I absolutely LOVE the Primas of Power series! This one did not disappoint. Along Came Amor is the third series instalment that really is the perfect ending to this series.

In this third book we follow Ava and Roman’s story. And talk about a swoon worthy love story with a love that is hard fought and absolutely deserved.

Ava is a middle school teacher, finalizing her divorce. A divorce she is not sorry for even if she is crushed to have “failed” at something she had built. That doesn’t stop her in wanting to find the new Ava and commemorate this new chapter. Roman is just a guy she meets at first, who turns out to be a great bartender, a great listener and the CEO of the very same hotel she is attending a conference at. After a night spent together, we navigate through their no strings attached affair, that like every good latine story had A LOT of strings attached.

From the very moment we met Roman, I knew we would love him. Strong willed, gentle and determined Roman, even with his flaws he is everything a true book boyfriend should be (and a few things I would not hate on a real partner). Ava is a full-on reformed people pleaser. She learns how to navigate her life, rediscover who she is and come out on top despite her fears and anxiety.

I also love that we get a glimpse at everyone’s lives. Everyone’s stories coming together. How actions in this book have consequences and an actual timeline. AND NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP! We have our missteps, but our characters know how to communicate! Even when it is hard for them. Must thank Alexis Daria for that.

As a Puerto Rican, I love to see all these little details that represent my culture. It had me laughing out loud at all the Puerto Rican family drama, chisme and every aspect that I can see reflected upon my own family and life experiences. It also fixed something in me. I can see myself in Ava and Roman. I take failures hard, I hate to disappoint people, I love fixing other people’s problems, and often I forget to take care of myself or put me first.

Along came amor is an ultra-steamy, feel-good, funny romance, full of lovable and large characters, emotional family moments, and deeply rooted latine culture dynamics. I guarantee you will LOVE it. There is no way of avoiding getting sucked into this beautiful and mind-blowing story.

I do recommend reading the entire series as characters, storylines and plot may be spoiled in this one about the first two.

Thank you Netgalley, Avon and Harper Voyager and Alexis Daria for providing me with an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Contemporary Romance. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series so was excited to see the third one. Ava is a school teacher, finalizing the divorce from her ex-husband while she's at a conference. When she goes to the hotel bar to celebrate, the bar owner ends up making her a drink. Boldened by her newfound single status and the relative anonymity of the bar, she agrees to go up to his room. The two share a passionate night, and he gives her his business card in case she wants round 2.

Ava explicitly states she wants no strings and Roman finds himself agreeing. But after a few more texts that lead to more shared nights, both of them realize maybe they do want more. Ava is happy to have something that is hers alone, reluctant to share with her cousins. She is still reeling from the emotional onslaught her family put her though after her break-up. Roman is a wealthy CEO with his every minute scheduled, but finds himself clearing his schedule whenever Ava gets in touch. They both have a lot of past issues to deal with. Everything comes to a head when it turns out they are the maid of honor and best man at Jasmine and Ashton's wedding. Suddenly it becomes a lot harder to keep this love interest out of her family's eye.

This book is spicy from the get-go, starting as it did with an intended one-night stand. But Roman's real appeal is how he listens to Ava, and tries to overcome his inherent desire to fix things and just be with her. There's a lot to reflect on here with Ava's people-pleasing personality, and the toll it takes on her mental health. The descriptions of lux hotels in NYC and Puerto Rico are fun settings to read about. An enjoyable multi-faceted romance with a good supporting cast. Sad to see this series come to an end.

I read an advanced copy provided by the publisher through Netgalley.

I love Alexis Daria and anything she writes! Although not my favorite in the series, it's still a great book!

Along came Amor is one of the best arcs I read in 2024. The book is absolutely swoon-worthy. Alexis is a fantastic storyteller and I need to read the rest of their books.

An excellent conclusion to the Primas of Power series. Roman is an excellent hero. It both jumps right into the sex but it also a kind of slow burn which is fun

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.

Thank you so much Avon Books for providing an ARC. Truly this was such a memorable read. Readers you do not want to miss this. Get your pre-order in now!!

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.

I love the Primas of Power so much! This novel has been a long awaited conclusion to the series for me and I am so happy with it. Super relatable and incredibly romantic! Cannot wait to buy it!
