WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: January 13th Latine Book Releases

ROMANCE
The Lust Crusade by Jo Segura (Audiobook)
Contemporary romance following a plucky librarian and an archaeologist on the run who fake an engagement to save their lives all while catching feelings for one another.

The Magic of Untamed Hearts by Raquel Vasquez Guililand (Audiobook)
Paranormal romance that centers the third Flores sister, Sage, who was trapped in an oak by the gods for 8 years. It's been 2 years since she was released and she's trying to find her way in life, dealing with a town that disparages her circumstances and her relationship with animals. Enter Adam Noemi, grandson of her elderly neighbor she cares for William, who's down on his luck, but also beloved by the town. In a scheme to reveal to the town what happened to her, Sage agrees to have Adam, a reporter, interview her. But her revelations also bring wall crashing down between them and something more grows between them. I'm almost done with this one and it's my favorite of the series so far. Full review to come soon...

PS--this is a reminder that this list is CURATED by me and not intended to be a comprehensive list of ALL Latine releases. Part of that curation is not promoting problematic Latine authors.
