Was I excited to read this book before it was released? Heck yes! I am always a fan of Latina romance books. I feel we need more in the book community. You know what, we also need every diverse in the book community. Everyone is welcome cause I want more books to read.
When I dive into Ramon and Julieta, it is apparent that this romance story is inspired by a star-crossed romance. Ramon and Julieta may have not known it at the time, but they are big rivals with each other. Their parents have a nasty history with each other. It makes sense that Ramon and Julieta are not meant to be together, especially since they come from different backgrounds. But you know we have enemies to lovers trope for a reason. They fall with each other no matter what their families do. It’s just meant to be, it’s just going to be a messy love story.
After finishing this book, I had mixed emotions. Like I love this book, but yet, I have some problems with it. The main issue I have with this book is the lack of romance. I understand we have real issues, but the book is meant to be a romance book, not a women's fiction book. If it was a women's fiction book, then I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But I needed the romance between the characters. More than what the book had.
