Loving Eva eso libro favorito de Maria. Ambos personajes encajan a la perfección, su química fue increíble. Me encantó el desarrollo de la historia y lo coqueto que fueron ellos. Simplemente los amo a los dos. 💕😍

¡Ya estaba loca por conocer la historia de Esteban! Y ahora que la conozco, él es mi MMC favorito de la serie. Aunque me encanta la historia de Eva, siento que el crecimiento personal estuvo más inclinado hacia Esteban, y eso me encantó porque necesitábamos conocer sus emociones y vulnerabilidades más allá del "funny guy" que siempre ha sido. Ver las capas detrás de su fachada de mujeriego carismático, descubrir sus inseguridades, sus deseos genuinos por algo real, y cómo lucha internamente entre respetar los límites y rendirse a sus sentimientos, le dio una profundidad que me conquistó completamente.
Esteban representa ese personaje secundario que todos queríamos conocer mejor, y la autora no decepcionó al darle el protagonismo que merecía. Su desarrollo emocional es el corazón de esta historia, y verlo transformarse de ese mejor amigo bromista a un hombre confrontando lo que realmente quiere en la vida fue simplemente perfecto.

Loving Eva is one of my favorite reads so far this year. The fake dating, the age gap, and Esteban’s reformed player energy had me hooked. Knowing he used to be a total flirt but chooses to commit was everything 🥹
I was obsessed with them as a couple and their chemistry and I can’t forget his loyalty and the way he tries so hard to keep his promise to his best friend made everything even more intense. He’s definitely one of my new book boyfriends.
Maria Esther never disappoints. Her writing style is captivating, and the Puerto Rican slang and culture made the story feel so authentic and special.
Definitely give this one a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
