Along Came Amor

At long lost, Along Came Amor by Alexis Daria is finally here. The third book in her Primas of Power trilogy, this one follows Ava after her divorce is finalized. In the midst of trying to make some changes in her life, she meets Roman at a bar and begins a months-long occasional relationship that no one knows about. But when they find out that they’re the maid of honor and best man in a wedding, Ava is even more determined to keep her family from finding out.

What I Liked:

• Ebb and flow. More than any romance I’ve read before, Along Came Amor allows these characters a lot of time to gradually flourish early on. From October until June, Ava and Roman only see each other on occasion, starting off only with sexual chemistry, but later developing into true emotional intimacy. I appreciate that they had that extra time and natural coming together and pulling away. It fits Ava perfectly and sets up the rest of their relationship so well.
• Their complementary personalities. Ava is so prone to overthinking, worrying, planning, helping, hiding her emotions… and she takes her time with everything. Roman is the opposite: He’s decisive, open, and rushes into things. I loved them both, but I especially felt for Ava.
• Addressing toxicity and trauma. Ava’s family is very overbearing, demanding, and frequently toxic. So much of Ava’s fear comes from how the family has treated her, but I appreciate how she learns to speak up and be confident in herself. Roman is so great about supporting her in all of that and even in showing her how family can be so much kinder.
• Friendships and prima sisterhood. Okay, I just love how Roman and Ashton (and later, Gabe) are such a fun friend group. Ashton was so funny here! And true to the series name, the three primas eventually get their time to shine together. I enjoyed getting to see the three couples interact leading up to Jasmine and Ashton’s wedding.
• That epilogue! I love how the book (and series) wraps up and offers glimpses of all six characters in the future. It brought tears to my eyes!

Final Thoughts

Along Came Amor is my favorite Alexis Daria book so far, and such a beautiful way to end the Primas of Power series. Even though this book is over 500 pages, which is long for a romance, it never felt too long. Rather, it had exactly as much space for the emotions and characters to develop as they needed to. I loved Ava and Roman and their more mature, gentle, but still steamy love story. Though I’m sad to see the series end, I’m excited to keep reading more from Alexis Daria.

Official Summary

“[A]n emotional roller coaster of a finale that will leave readers exhilarated.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

A MOST ANTICIPATED READ BY PASTE • THE NERD DAILY • BOOKBUB • TODAY.COM • & MORE!

From the international bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola and A Lot Like Adiós, the exciting third and final book in Alexis Daria’s bestselling Primas of Power series

No strings

After Ava Rodriguez’s now-ex-husband declares he wants to “follow his dreams”—which no longer include her—she’s left questioning everything she thought she wanted. So when a handsome hotelier flirts with her, Ava vows to stop overthinking and embrace the opportunity for an epic one-night-stand.

No feelings 

Roman Vázquez’s sole focus is the empire he built from the ground up. He lives and dies by his schedule, but the gorgeous stranger grimacing into her cocktail inspires him to change his plans for the evening. At first, it’s easy for Roman to agree to Ava’s rules: no strings, no feelings. But one night isn’t enough, and the more they meet, the more he wants.

No falling in love

Roman is the perfect fling, until Ava sees him at her cousin’s engagement party—as the groom’s best man, no less! Maintaining her boundaries becomes a lot more complicated as she tries to hide their relationship from her family, but Roman isn’t content being her dirty little secret. With her future uncertain and her family pressuring her from all sides, Ava will have to decide if love is worth the risk—again.

“This ultra-steamy, feel-good, and funny romance is filled with a large and lovable cast of characters and emotional family dynamics and is lovingly rooted in Latine culture… [A] sensational final installment” —LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review)
