5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Karina Halle series bundled up?! Yes, please! April 9, 2015
By Jessica Sotelo (Angie and Jessica's Dreamy Reads)
Wow!!!! This is my absolute favorite Karina Halle series.... a box set with both books bundled together for pennies is a STEAL! This is flawless writing, a gripping story, beautiful imagery and a fantastic, unforgettable love story!!! An absolute must read!!
Love, in English - "Love, In English is a luminous love story; it's beauty and culture and romance and sex, and it's heartbreaking and taboo. It's a story of two would-be lovers doing everything right and everything wrong, when in the end, none of that matters because their fate was written in the stars. This book consumed me from the very first page and hasn't let go of me since. This story is like nothing I've ever encountered. The story is so original, so different, so raw and real. And the characters are the likes of which we've never seen before in fiction. I can't quite articulate all the reasons I loved this book. I'm still waiting for the rest of me to catch up, as parts of me are still in Spain, drinking wine under the sun and falling in love."
Love, in Spanish - "Often, as readers, we're given a sequel where authors throw their characters through a gamut of unnecessary drama and angst just for the sake of angst. This is not that book and Karina Halle is not that author. This book feels very real, the story unfolding in the most unfortunate but most likely course of events that would transpire after where the first book left them. Love, In Spanish is a runaway train, all sense of contentment and certainty Mateo and Vera found at the conclusion of LIE rapidly flying off the rails. It's a painful, gut-wrenching, nerve wracking journey, with a soft landing unlikely and the passengers powerless to stop it. But it's real and raw and perfect in all its realness. Karina Halle's 'Love, In English' is a poignant, harrowing love story, captivating the reader with every word, evoking glorious pain and splendid joy in a way only this author truly can."
