alex torres has finally returned home. she is back in kansas to turn her grandmother's bar into a thriving business and resurrect her bartending career while doing it; however, jeremiah post is standing in her way. the professor is staying in a tenant space above the bar and has her whole family wrapped around his finger. the problem is, he wants to turn the bar into museum. jeremiah doesn't think alex has the bar's, her family's, or the community's best interest in mind. the mild mannered professor is willing to stand up to the gorgeous spitfire of a woman whom he now shares a wall with despite the instant attraction they both share. alex and jeremiah must come together when an even bigger enemy threatens the home that they both desperately need.

YALL!!!! YALL!!!! this freaking book!!! i cried, i sobbed, i laughed, i sobbed some more, and i loved. this was such a beautifully well done small town romance. the romance between alex and jeremiah was next level to me and getting to see them go from these two that couldn't stand to be in the same room as each other (even though the tension was through the roof) to being each others biggest supporters was amazing!! i loved the plot and milagro street coming together to share the history that was stolen/hidden from mexican-americans in kansas and throughout the great plains. i don't think there are words that can capture how deeply i love this book. pls pls pls pick it up. i won't shut up about this for the rest of my life!!!
