Summary
" A big-hearted, beautiful book about first love, second chances, and finding one's place in the world . An exceptional getaway of a book!"-Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read

A PopSugar Best Romance of April

Key West is the ideal backdrop for the summer read you need! Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Jasmine Guillory, and Jen DeLuca, this gorgeous and stirring new love story from the author of Island Affair will touch your heart...

Award-winning photographer Alejandro Miranda hasn't been home to Key West in years-not since he left to explore broader horizons with his papi's warning "never to come back" echoing in his ears. He wouldn't be heading there now if it wasn't for an injury requiring months of recuperation. The drama of a prodigal son returning to his familia and their beloved Cuban restaurant is bad enough, but coming home to the island paradise also means coming face to face with the girl he left behind-the one who was supposed to be by his side all along . . .

Anamaria Navarro was shattered when Alejandro took off without her. Traveling the world was their plan, not just his. But after her father's heart attack, there was no way she could leave-not even for the man she loved. Now ensconced in the family trade as a firefighter and paramedic, with a side hustle as a personal trainer, Anamaria is dismayed that just the sight of Alejandro is enough to rekindle the flame she's worked years to put out. And as famillia meddling pushes them together, the heat of their attraction only climbs higher. Can they learn to trust again, before the Key West sun sets on their chance at happiness?

"Vibrant...A stunning romance of first love found again."- Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

"Oliveras' portrayal of family and social media ties are reminiscent of Alisha Rai's romances." - Booklist STARRED REVIEW
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "The second novel in Oliveras' delightful Key West trilogy, following Island Affair (2020), features Anamaria Navarro, a female firefighter and paramedic who also owns a rising fitness business. She is dismayed when her mother asks her to look in on an injured family friend, Alejandro Miranda. Anamaria hasn't seen the now famous photographer since their painful breakup after high school and she doesn't want to be distracted from her work or business plans. Alejandro's father barely speaks to him, he's still so angry that his son took off on his own instead of working at the family restaurant. Back in Key West, Alejandro begins to see reasons to stay this time, including Anamaria and a chance to show his photographs in an exhibit on the island, a longtime dream. The Florida island setting is only part of the appeal of this character-driven, second-chance romance between smart and badass Anamaria and sexy and artistic Alejandro as they slowly realize that successful relationships have room for both partners' professions and dreams. Another draw: Oliveras' portrayal of family and social media ties is reminiscent of Alisha Rai's romances."

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Oliveras keeps up the tropical vibes of Island Affair in her lukewarm second Keys of Love romance. When Anamaría Navarro's high school sweetheart, Alejandro Miranda, left Key West to travel the world more than 10 years ago--leaving behind both his family and her shattered heart--Anamaría swore she'd never speak to him again. Now 30 and working in the family trade as a firefighter and paramedic while building her burgeoning personal fitness brand, Anamaría feels her life is finally coming together. But when a hiking accident forces Alejandro, now a famous photographer, back home to recuperate, Anamaría and Alejandro struggle to deny the spark that reignites between them while juggling their families' expectations for their future, and their own assumptions about their past. Watching the underdeveloped exes dance around their feelings grows tiring as their dithering drags on, but Oliveras's authentic portrayal of Latinx family life and picturesque descriptions of the Keys keep the pages turning. This sunny rom-com won't melt hearts, but it's good for an armchair getaway. Agent: Rebecca Strauss, DiFiore & Co. (May.)"
