“You can’t fall in love in a week.”
“You can fall in love in a second. The heart has no regard for time.”
I totally went into this book blind because I never
expected to feel so many emotions while reading this. Ever had that
feeling wherein you don't know how to react at all? You don't know
whether you want to cry or scream at your ereader because the story got
so deep into you that you want to reach inside and just hug every
character. Well, I felt all of those things. My tear ducts are so used, I
think they're actually broken.
Vera Miles was a rebel of all sorts. She has tattoos and is studying astronomy in Vancouver. One summer, she decided to explore life and travel while she was still young as twenty-three. She never expected to meet and fall in love with a married man. She doesn't plan to be a home-wrecker because she knows what it feels to be from a broken family.
Mateo Casalles entered an english program for people who wants to improve their conversational skills by talking to Anglos for a whole month. He never expected to meet the fireball named Vera Miles. Being trapped in a loveless marriage, he fell in love with the said fireball even if he knew it was wrong.
Vera and Mateo were simply finding themselves by being in the program at Las Palabras. But by finding themselves, they also found one another. The last book I have read that was a "forbidden romance" was the Thoughtless series, and every forbidden romance has and those kind of stories have a lot of angst. I'm one of those people that get too affected with those kinda of read. This book isn't any different, it was passionate and it made me cry buckets of tears.

“Love is like a thief, it robs you of all thought and logic and all you have left is a heart that you can only pray is strong enough to survive the rest.”
The writing was also exquisite. Karina Halle has really
outdone herself. This was much different from her other books and I
loved every page of it. You could actually feel the chemistry between
Vera and Mateo growing. Soon enough, their passion for one another was
also sizzling and oozzing from the book.
“Love, in English, is love…”
“Love in Spanish is you.”
5 PERFECT STARS IN THE SKY!
