Opposites attract and rivals-to-lovers! Love those tropes!
Alejandra came into town with a bang hehe, see what I did there.
Her grandmother is ready to sell or handover her restaurant/bar but everyone has different ideas on what to do with it.
Besides her family there is a college professor also involved renting out a room on the 2nd floor.
He’s trying to help preserve the history and it takes her a long time to trust that he has their best interests.
Wow these two were 🔥. She was so aggressive and knew what she wanted. But also used innuendo as a defense mechanism.
Despite her attempts she can’t resist the professor.
There is a long history in this town involving wills, deeds, curses and rampant racism.
This was a super steamy romance but was mixed with history, heritage, treasure hunts, town lore, family dynamics, systemic racism (and learning how to be an ally without going to jail, that one is hard people are awful).
Totally enjoyed all the different relationships portrayed and the mf mcs push and pull relationship.

❓ Do you have any interesting historical facts about the town you live in?
In Alameda they used to have a large aquatic park and the Union Pacific railroad used to come through here as well.

Synopsis:

Guapo pobrecito her grandmother calls him. The “poor handsome man.”

Professor Jeremiah Post, the poor handsome man, is in fact standing in the way of Alejandra “Alex” Torres turning Loretta’s, her grandmother’s bar, into a viable business. The hot brainiac who sleeps in one of the upstairs tenant rooms already has all of her Mexican American family’s admiration; she won’t let him have the bar and building she needs to resurrect her career, too.

Alex blowing into town has rocked Jeremiah to his mild-mannered core, but the large, boisterous Torres clan is everything he never had. He doesn’t believe Alex has the best interest of her family, their community or the bar’s legacy in mind. To protect all three, he’ll stand up to the tough and tattooed bartender with whom he now shares a bedroom wall—and resist the insta-lust they both feel.

But when an old enemy threatens Loretta’s and the surrounding neighborhood, Alex and Jeremiah must combine forces. It will take her might and his mind to save the home they both desperately need.
