Wow. I absolutely LOVED After Hours on Milagro Street, and have been looking forward to Gillian’s story ever since. The first five chapters have me hooked, and I can’t wait to get to know Gillian and Nicky even better!

I would sell my soul to read the rest of this book. I’m so mad at myself for thinking I could handle just reading the first 5 chapters. It’s so good so far!!!!

They were childhood friends, and then they were lovers, and then they didn't talk for years—and now they're back in the same town for the summer, in very different places but very, *very* much on each other's radar.

This preview starts with a (*cough*) not-quite bang that tells me that there is steam aplenty to come in "Full Moon Over Freedom," and I'm over the moon (and thus also over Freedom?) to see Mexican-American protagonists in mainstream romance. Gillian—Juliana by birth and to her family—has spent the past decade or more making herself over into someone she thinks of as more palatable to a white East Coast crowd, while Nicky has made a name for himself as a Mexican-American artist, and I'm very curious about how Gillian's identity will evolve over the course of the book.

The full book is out in September, and if the preview is anything to go by it'll be very steamy, with intersectionality and something to learn about Mexican (and Mexican-American) culture—and who can argue with that?

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing this preview through NetGalley.

I've only read five chapters, but I'm hooked. This is the second story in this series and follows Nicky, once a bad boy now a successful artist, and Gillian, once a good girl now reeling from a divorce and starting over. This book has some of my favorite tropes: friends to lovers, second chance, flashbacks, and sex lessons. The representation is so great. The writing style is as beautiful as always. There's an air of mystery about the story that I can't wait to get to. What happened between them? Did Nicky ever try to tell Gillian how he felt? Does she know about his family? I have so many questions!!! I can't wait to read the rest of the novel and am counting down the days until I get to!

So addicting. Absolutely feeling the chemistry. Cannot wait to read the rest, Lopez is quickly becoming a must-buy author.

Oh my stars!!!!!! I can't wait for the rest of this book. The first five chapters are just enough to give you backstory, tension, intrigue, and I want more!
