When SZA sang about looking for a big boy on SNL, she must have been talking about Jake. Big man in the best way! He said, “I fill a door frame easy. I can easily make you feel small.” With that, Jake is now added to my book-boyfriend list. Did I mention he can sing and writes songs about Vi, the FMC?? 🫠 🥵

This book gave me all the feels. It's not often that I shed tears while reading, but this story had me reaching for the Kleenex. At times, I just wanted to give Jake a hug. He has been through a lot and is working through it all with a therapist, applying the techniques to his life.
Overall, this book is a heartwarming and emotional journey that left a lasting impression on me. Five stars!

Honorable mention for Tio Raul and Tia Sonia! Their love and speeches had me wiping my eyes (again)!

Recommend (Yes/No/Maybe): YES!!! This is the third book in the series and I am going back to read books 1 and 2!

Summary (no spoilers):
Two years after my brother’s best friend Jake kissed me, I can't let it go. Despite the risks of an HR scandal and hurting our family, I sense he's on the verge of giving in. Jake, a gentle giant who writes love songs and enjoys when I push his limits, has always been too loyal to my brother and parents, who see him as a son. Complicating things further, I'm his boss, making our relationship seem impossible. However, as we spend more time together planning his promotion and attending family events, we can't resist each other any longer. Hearing the songs he wrote about me seals my fate. Though our secret encounters are thrilling, the potential fallout threatens to tear our family apart and damage our professional reputations. Being with Jake is everything I've ever wanted, and now I must decide whether to bet on us or risk losing everything.
