You Had Me at Hola was so cute . The tension between the two MCs was EVERYTHING; I love love love tension and yearning so this romance was everything for me. The family dynamics in You Had Me at Hola was so touching for me. I enjoy families in literature; family love and family drama. As far as characters, Jasmine and Aston were okay. They weren't enduring to me though. Some of the drama was so unnecessary. I understand where Aston was coming from but Jasmine acting like she couldn't be attracted to her co-worker is ridiculous. I do understand her wanting to be on her own for a little bit. The flip around towards the end of the book with the characters' feelings was a bit too quick for my liking but I enjoyed the end nonetheless.
