Love of My Lives | Yamile Saied Méndez
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
"Madi Ramâirez has it all--a thriving career she loves, a successful boyfriend, and a wedding to plan--when he finally proposes. So why does she feel like there is something missing? Jayden even has the right initials--the JR that appeared to Madi years ago, in a dream visitation from her beloved, wise abuela. Madi's friends think her expectations are too high--but she can't help wishing for that dreamy feeling in real-life. Wishing that Jayden would show her a little more affection. That she could really believe they were meant to be... When a business trip to Puerto Rico presents itself, Madi is quick to take it. She can finally scatter her abuela's ashes on the beach, as she wished. And maybe time apart will remind Jayden how much Madi means to him--and maybe he'll begin to show it. But in Puerto Rico, Madi finds something--well, someone--else. A man who makes her heart beat triple-time--and who feels as right as someone Fated--except for those nagging initials... Brimming with the magic of old San Juan and la Isla del Encanto, The Love of My Lives is the perfect read for anyone who has longed for a legendary love story that transcends time and distance--and the powerful magic of steering their own dreams"--

When Madi was questioning if she was ovulating seeing a handsome man, I almost stoped The first third of this book is difficult to read. Madi is great, yet I wish she didn‘t want to get it in with this new guy after a failed proposal. Which she never thought of when in PR. Madi believes so much in initials showing destiny. Which disappeared. As it went through, it got lighter, easier. Manageable, not fully enjoyable. Nice to learn about PR

I have to admit, it was like opening a box of the sun when I opened this up. So much bright yellowing sunlight. Felt good.
So Madi‘s life is perfect. A trip to Puerto Rico changes that outlook, as something feels it was still missing.
Not sure how I feel about the whole “engaged yet falls for another guy†thingy because of fated initials her abuela told her she was to marry.

Roary47 I felt the same way for this #OUABC box. Nice and warm, but not sure about the romance choice. 6mo

#OUABC - October 2023 Adult Box: (Steer Your Own Dreams) Love of My Lives

Puerto Rico • Yoga • Metaphysical • Contemporary Romance • 3.5 Stars

Set against the magical backdrop of old San Juan and la Isla del Encanto, The Love of My Lives weaves a tale of legendary love that transcends time and distance. It‘s a story of searching for love in unusual places, hidden truths within one‘s heart, and the powerful magic of steering our own dreams. ⬇ï¸

suvata Although I‘m not a huge fan of contemporary romance, I really enjoy a book that teaches me about other places. I learned so much about Puerto Rico -- its people, its community, and its culture. Having never been there myself, the author painted a magical picture of the island.
