Stealing Luna by Carla de Guzman

5.0

ok i loved the Queen's Game and i loved this! What a fascinating fun read. Also ayeee second chance romance !

So pacing: really good, things progress pretty quickly and with the end of each chapter I wanted to know more and didn't want to stop reading. also meeee when things happened that i didn't expect: LE GASP!!

The relationships: just awesome! Cora and Luis are just so good together. banter is my number one thing for any romance and yup these two got that down. Loved how their history unfolded as the story progressed. Luis was scared to tell Cora his true feelings so that caused a six year rift but their chemistry is very much alive and well. And Luis is so obviously ready to make it up to Cora and Cora, was a bit reluctant but c'mon girl you know you can't resist.
Also this book is filled with a couple of intriguing secondary characters who made ever interaction and scene just golden. I loved seeing the already established relationship (ayeeee f/f romance with Mimi and Jin) and we get Luis' bro Elias and his fiance, Ellie. I need some prequel stories for all of them. How they met etc etc.

The heist: ok so i know nada about art but this was all so very fascinating to me. like getting tidbits about art history and forgeries. That was quite riveting.

I loved that Cora had two legacies and one was the lady in her family were thieves! like...this is some good movie fodder right there. I'd watch the heck out of a series for these two books.

Cameos: ayeeee Nina and Plant Daddy (lol), Felipe from book 1.

A wild ride y'all.

i just really had a great time reading and now i wanna go to Barcelona, not for a heist (sounds too stressful lol) but a simple vacation will suffice :)
