I love them, your honor! 🥹

This was the perfect ending to the Primas of Power. It was funny, sexy, and emotional. This book had me BLUSHING, giggling, smiling, and tearing up.

Ava is our perfectionist people-pleaser with a huge heart and a very thorough planner. Roman is our millionaire workaholic who fixes everything for those he loves. When these two meet and throw caution to the wind (very unlike both of them), they never imagined this one night stand would change their lives. Not only that, but that they'd be Maid of Honor and Best Man for the same wedding.

Ava working through her feelings and speaking up for herself was such an emotional journey. Her fears and emotions felt raw to read. I think this is going to be a really important book for people pleasers to read and process.

Roman was an absolute delight. His patience, understanding, and respect were everything that a partner should have and aim for. His Spanish nicknames for Ava... I melt!

At some point, Ava realized that she didn't know how a healthy relationship and communication looked because she hadn't seen it modeled. Pheww that hit right in the chest.

I loved this so much, and I'm excited to get my hands on a physical copy.

Thank you to Netgalley for the eARC. All opinions are absolutely my own. ✨️

It’s rare for me to dislike a main character, but Ava just wasn’t it for me. At first, I was fine—okay, we’re talking about the divorce, let’s get through it, and then the plot will pick up. But every time Ava spiraled about her ex-husband, I found myself rolling my eyes and sighing. It felt like the story kept circling the same points without much movement. The pacing dragged, and chapter after chapter, I kept waiting for some real character growth that never came.

As a Puerto Rican, I also didn’t feel like our island was represented well. Puerto Rico isn’t just San Juan, and especially with everything happening on the island right now, it felt like a surface-level portrayal rather than something truly reflective of our culture and current reality.

I've never had a book break me and heal me as much as this did. Ava was such a relatable character and for the first time in my life, I truly saw myself in a FMC. Her trauma, her people pleasing, her need to find herself and learn about herself, it made me root for her character from the very beginning.

And "the primos" were such a good balance to the typical machismo men of the culture.

I truly truly recommend this book and can't say enough good things about it.

I’m a huge fan of Alexis Daria, so I was thrilled to get approved for an ARC of Along Came Amor! This book is a fitting end to the Primas of Power series, but it can stand alone. If you’ve read the other books, you’ll be delighted to see Jasmine, Ashton, Michelle, and Gabe again.

Ava and Roman had such great chemistry from their very first scene together. The progression of their relationship felt realistic for two busy people dealing with other personal and professional issues in their lives. The romance wasn’t the only thing they had going on, which I appreciated, but their other problems and family drama occasionally stole focus from their relationship development. I do think the storyline and pacing could’ve been tightened up a bit — at 512 pages, this book feels a little too long.

Still, I was happy to spend time with these characters and think Daria is a great writer. I found Ava’s journey so relatable and was happy to see her get an HEA with someone as wonderful as Roman.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, which was provided in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a pure delight! The instant chemistry between Roman and Ava sizzles, but what truly shines is the mature, thoughtful way their relationship unfolds. It's so refreshing to see characters communicate effectively, avoiding the tired miscommunication trope. Ava's journey of self-discovery, rather than dwelling on past heartbreak, is particularly compelling, and Roman's charm is undeniable (though his 'pampering' might be a tad much for some). While Ava's family situation might raise a few eyebrows, the author provides ample context. Overall, this is a fantastic, giggle-inducing read!

Thank you NetGalley and Avon for the opportunity to read an eARC of this wonderful book! 4.5 stars! I loved it! This might be my favorite of the trilogy and I am so sad its over. Ava got the story and the happy ending she deserved. I loved the forbidden romance but Ava’s journey to finding her voice was even better!

Thanks to Netgalley & Avon/Harper Voyager for the arc! So cute & steamy! Loved the characters & the Latina rep. Will definitely read other books by this author.

This wasn’t my favorite in the Primas of Power series but I really enjoyed the chemistry between Ava and Roman. I loved the first half of the book, but once they got to Puerto Rico it just started to drag for me. I definitely related to Ava’s character as a teacher and a chronic helper. It’s so hard not to just help!!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review, all opinions expressed are my own.

This series is already amazing but this book might be my favorite!
Ava and Roman’s chemistry was absolutely FANTASTIC and I was such a sucker for Roman falling first. Add to that the drama of the wedding party and their family dynamics & you have a really fast paced love story.

I loved the tough conversations about Ava’s family & how they use her but she still constantly feels like she’s having to earn their love. And the story w/ Roman’s mom and sister & his relationship with his business success and why he does it just hit me so hard. I couldn’t help but root for these two characters & their HEA.

This was very cute! It had been a while since I read the other books in the series but it was easy enough to read as a stand alone.

I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley and can I just say, I think this is my favorite of the Primas of Power series! Hot and steamy from the start and as a Latina with an invasive family, this truly hits the mark on family dynamics and how intergenerational traumas, family pressure and the fear of losing your loved ones shapes your adulthood experiences. Roman is truly every person’s dream. It’s going to be hard to top this!

This book was amazing! The chemistry between the main characters was amazing! And the main male character was so sweet!

I was so excited to get my hands on this anticipated entry in the series ! so romantic and steamy. worth the read !

The chemistry these 2 have is off the charts 🔥 Roman knows how to treat a woman. This read was definitely a page turner.

Ava Rodriguez just finalized her divorce from her ex-husband who left her with no explanations. She wants to celebrate this new chapter of her life, she wants to take chances and risks. So she goes to the bar on her own and ends up having a one-night stand with a handsome rich CEO. But this charming man catches feelings and Ava doesn’t know if she wants to keep this fling a secret.

Book Review: A Perfect Conclusion to an Amazing Series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and, in fact, have loved the entire series. It was fascinating to witness the unique differences between the cousins and how each of them related to their family dynamics. What truly stood out, though, was the inspiring way in which these characters, despite their differences, were always there for one another—an unbreakable bond that was heartwarming to witness.

I had been eagerly waiting for this book to release, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to dive into this story. Roman, the male main character, was everything I hoped for. His growth throughout the book felt so authentic, and the way he loved Ava was truly the stuff of dreams. Their relationship was beautifully crafted and really tugged at my heartstrings.

Ava's journey of finding her voice was a poignant one. While I didn’t personally relate to her struggles, it made perfect sense for her character, and I appreciated how her journey unfolded. One of my favorite parts of the book was the connection to a childhood photo—it added such a personal, meaningful touch to the story.

What I also loved was how every character had their place in this story without overshadowing Ava’s own arc. It was a perfect balance, and everyone’s involvement enriched the narrative in a meaningful way. This book was the closure the series needed, wrapping everything up beautifully and leaving me satisfied.

In short, this book was everything I hoped for and more—a wonderful continuation of the series and a perfect way to end it.

Thank you Alexis Daria and Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read this ARC

Along Came Amor was a fun, heartwarming, and sexy follow up to the first two books in this series (which I also read and loved). The characters, how they got together, and their journey together felt fresh and different compared to other books in the genre, and I appreciated that. Ava is a character you want to root for and want to find love, and I appreciated that we learned about a lot of different parts of her and the parts of her life beyond her relationship.

**Features:**
- One night stand turned something else
- He falls first
- Close knit families and dealing with familial expectations
- Rediscovering yourself and reevaluating your life goals

**Synopsis:**

Ava’s marriage is finally over. She thought the email stating that her divorce was officially finalized would give her a sense of relief and freedom. Instead, she is left feeling a little lost and wondering where her life should go from here. Her family is already pressuring her to find another partner, but that’s the one thing Ava is certain she doesn’t want. A chance encounter with hotelier Roman Vasquez gives Ava the opportunity to take her mind off things and test out the new person she wants to become. But what is supposed to be a one night fling sparks threatens to become more when Ava crosses paths with Roman again at her cousin’s wedding. The hardest part: keeping it all a secret from Ava’s family.

**Thoughts:**

This book had me giggling with delight from the very beginning. There is instant attraction and spice between the two main characters, but it develops into a more meaningful relationship over the course of the story. Despite some of their struggles and flaws, both Roman and Ava bring a lot of maturity to the relationship that helps them properly communicate their wants, needs, and thoughts (or help each other figure these out). It was refreshing not to have miscommunication be the biggest cause of tension. Some readers might feel that Ava’s unwillingness to be open with her family about her relationship with Roman feeling forced, but I personally felt that the book provides plenty of context for this decision early on and I fully understood why Ava felt that it was necessary.

The book switches off between Ava’s and Roman’s perspectives as events unfold. I found myself instantly connected with Ava on many levels and I really enjoyed that her personal journey was about trying to figure out who she wanted to be moving forward rather than fixating on the person and relationship she lost. Roman is incredibly charming from the very beginning and knows how to be a proper listener. My only complaint is that Roman immediately feels the need to pamper and ‘take care of’ Ava in a way that goes a little over the top for me at times. Overall, I had a great time reading this one and would definitely recommend picking it up!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Avon for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The night her divorce is finalized, Ava meets Roman who owns the hotel she is staying at and the pair have an incredible one night stand. A few months later Ava reaches again and Roman jumps a the chance to see her again. Their sporadic steamy meetings continue until they figure out they are the best man and maid of honor at Ava’s cousin’s wedding. As they spend time wedding planning they also spend more time in their relationship while trying to keep it secret from Ava’s meddling and nosy family.

I am sad to see the Primas of Power series come to an end, but this was a delightful end to the series. I love a book that bangs and this book was steamy from pretty much the first chapter, but we still got the full development of Ava and Roman’s romance. I love that Ava and Roman were adults who acted like adults and were able to communicate. I read most of the book in one sitting and had a great time. It can be read on its own, but I highly recommend reading the first two books to understand the family dynamics and because the couples from the first two books are present for a lot of it (Ava’s cousin who is getting married is from the first book). I love that the epilogue tied up the whole series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Along Came Amor absolutely slayed me, in the best way. It is beautifully written, deeply sexy and intensely emotional.

Roman is one of my all-time favorite romance heroes. I get frustrated with a lot of contemporary romance MMCs who are just perfect uncomplicated cinnamon rolls with no baggage or need for growth. Roman is not like that - he has his own issues, and he makes mistakes - but he learns and grows and makes amends to and for Ava. And Ava herself is such a compelling, sympathetic heroine. She’s the ultimate people pleaser trapped by expectations, and crushed by her divorce and her family’s reaction to it. She places all her self-worth on what she can do for others and constantly being at her family’s beck and call. She never wants to be weak or messy, but Roman truly sees her and gives her room to find her way back to herself. It’s a very moving character arc. And the (plentiful) sex scenes are seriously hot, as well as packing an emotional punch.

Unlike many books which conclude a trilogy, this one also works as a stand-alone. The cast of supporting characters is rich and complex, but never confusing or overwhelming for someone who hasn’t read the previous books (I hadn’t but will certainly be rectifying that). Alexis Daria is a new favorite author for me! .

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an e-arc of this fantastic book.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to Avon for this eARC! This book was absolutely positively Un Put Down-Able. I barreled through this read at light speed because I simply HAD to know what was going to happen next. The structure was so strong, the Primas got to have so much strength with each other. Ava and Roman's chemistry was unbelievably good. The Sex. Was. HOT. 150/10 knocked it out of the damn park just so incredible. I almost don't have words. I can't wait to hold it in my hands and have it join its sisters/cousins on my shelf!
