Successful, wealthy
and absurdly handsome – Spanish ex-football player Mateo Casalles seemed like
he had it all. A high-society wife, an
adorable little girl, and flashy apartments in Madrid and Barcelona only
sweetened the deal. But there was more to Mateo than met the eye – a life of
uncertainty and regret that colored his black and white world.
That was until Vera
Miles came into his life like a shooting star. Tattooed, wild and young, Vera
seemed like Mateo’s polar opposite at first. But you can’t choose who you fall
in love with, and the two lost souls did everything they could to be together,
all while suffering grave consequences.
Now with Mateo
divorced and living in Madrid with Vera, there is a whole new set of challenges
and setbacks facing the couple and rocking the foundation of their star-crossed
relationship.
Unfortunately for
them, the brighter the star, the faster they burn.
Love, in Spanish, was told entirely from Mateo’s point of
view, and went a lot further along in Mateo and Vera’s story than I expected it
too (a fact I am quite pleased about). I am giving this book a four. I loved
the story, and getting to read more about Vera and Mateo. I wish his sister and
his family were in this book more, but I’m happy for the scraps of them I got.
While this book did show some more of the problems the couple had to face, it
felt like a really long and fun epilogue. This book felt a little more
passionate, but I think that had a lot to do with Mateo being the narrator of
the story. One main thing I want to mention about this book, it won’t seem as
good if you don’t read “Love, in English,” first. It’s a good story on its own,
but it doesn’t have the same impact if you haven’t read the one that comes
before it first.
