A Proposal They Can't Refuse | 
pickI really enjoyed this friends to lovers story because of all the messy family bits, especially the meddling grandpas. The food and whiskey descriptions will make your mouth water and the Irish and Puerto Rican cultural touch points will warm your heart. Great on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was so cute! A low pick overall for being good but a little simple and trope-y, but the funny bits were funny and it made me hungry for Puerto Rican food and whiskey. Sometimes I get a bit surprised in romance novels by HOW QUICKLY people become obsessed but I guess that‘s par for the course!
Just started the tagged romance novel (which I got for Christmas ages ago) to celebrate being done with masters work for the year! It feels really good to read something fun, frivolous and cute again.
Fake dating with only one bed…. While trying to update and modernise a family Puerto Rican restaurant and an Irish whiskey distillery. I love it.
pick4 âï¸ I enjoyed this book because I could buy into the storyline. The 'enemies' portion of the book was understandable and not overdone and the transition to 'lovers' was heartwarming and not too cheesy or too speedy. I also really enjoyed the relationships between many of the minor characters- Liam and Granda were adorable, as were Kamilah's parents.
pickKamilah and Liam are childhood frenemies whose future family businesses are in their hands .Both grandfathers come up with a plan of marriage for them refuse and they lose their life‘s work.
The closeness of family values, the multi generational community was so endearing! The banter between the grandchildren and grandfathers was sweet, comical, and so authentic! What the reader experiences reading this is an inclusion at the dining room table.
pickThis is not my favorite kind of story (fake engagement) but I really ended up enjoying this book. A good summer read.
pickIt‘s a soft pick for me. Kamilah and Liam have to fake date to hold onto their dreams of running their respective family businesses. I love a fake engagement but this one didn‘t sit quite right. The grandpas‘ antics started off cute, but were too much at the end. Kamilah‘s family walked a fine line between tough love and bullying. The saving grace was the genuine relationship between Kamilah and Liam which built off their years of friendship.
