Spice of Love

Dating Regina Morales should be simple. She's beautiful, passionate, fiercely loyal, and completely in love with you. Unfortunately, Regina also has a temper. And a chancla. And a family that doesn't think you belong together. And an older brother who keeps calling you ése like it's a threat. And a best friend who thinks tormenting you is hilarious. And Rico Escobar—Regina's longtime neighborhood friend, who is patiently waiting for your relationship to fall apart so he can take your place. Then there's Isabella, Regina's suspiciously friendly younger sister, who might actually like you a little too much. Even Regina's Chihuahua hates you. Especially the Chihuahua. Against the sun-soaked streets of San Pedro, California, surviving love means navigating family dinners, backyard cookouts, jealous friends, neighborhood drama, cultural differences, flying footwear, and the occasional misunderstanding that somehow involves everybody on the block. Regina loves you. You love Regina. Surely that's enough. ...Right? SPICE OF LOVE Love hurts. Sometimes literally. ––– ★★★★★ “A hilarious romantic disaster where meeting the family somehow becomes a survival mechanic.” — Anime Monthly ★★★★½ “Warm, messy, colorful, and ridiculously charming.
