Raspados & Regret
Fabian Salcedo doesn’t do drama, feelings, or men who run their mouths just to see what happens.
Unfortunately, Elías “Lalo” Cárdenas is all three.
When a summer night market mix-up forces Fabian to share booth space with Lalo’s family raspado stand, their years-long neighborhood beef turns into the hottest attraction in the East Bay. Customers come for the shaved ice, but stay for the bickering, the tension, and the very real possibility that one of them might finally snap.
Fabian does snap.
He kisses Lalo behind the stand after closing.
Then immediately blames the heat.
But one bad decision turns into two. Two turns into a secret. And Fabian starts to realize regret has never looked better in slutty little glasses and five-inch inseam shorts.
Raspados & Regret is a spicy MM second-chance romance with family chisme, messy feelings, bilingual heat, public claiming, soft boys who deserve better, and grown men realizing love does, in fact, require emotional accountability.

This book was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. 😍 It was unique, fun, colorful, and I had the absolute BEST time reading it!💃🏼
I’ve read other books featuring Mexican American MCs, but what really stood out to me here was how immersed I felt in the culture. It felt so authentic and genuine, and I loved getting to experience that through the characters, their families, the food, the setting, and all the little details woven throughout the story.
And the banter?! The nosy families?! The TikToks?! The romance?! The tension?! THE SPICE?! 🔥 It was all SO MUCH FUN.
And then we have Fabian and Elias. 🥵
The grumpy/sunshine dynamic between these two had me SWOONING.🫠 I am officially obsessed with the crop-top papi and the raspado boyfriend. 😂 Their push-and-pull was SO good, and the tension between them was chef’s kiss. I loved watching their relationship develop, especially as Fabian navigated having feelings for a man for the first time.
These two had such a sweet emotional connection, but they also brought the HEAT. 🔥 I loved the way they worked through Fabian’s hesitancy about coming out, and seeing him figure out what he wanted and what Elias meant to him was really sweet.
My one little complaint is that I wish we’d gotten a bit more time with Fabian’s coming-out journey. He needed time to process everything, and then suddenly it felt like we jumped from “I need time” to “I’m publicly claiming this man” 😂. I would have loved a little more development there because it felt like such an important part of his character arc.
But honestly? I was having WAY too much fun to stay mad about it.
I also loved how involved the families were. They brought so much humor and heart to the story, and the descriptions of the night market, food, and atmosphere were AMAZING. I could picture everything so clearly that I genuinely felt like I was there.
And now I desperately want a raspado and some carne asada. 😂
This book was just FUN. It made me laugh, it made me swoon, it brought the spice, and I loved getting to experience a culture that I’m not very familiar with through such a vibrant and (seemingly) authentic story.
If you’re looking for a low-angst romance with grumpy/sunshine energy, fantastic banter, delicious tension, swoony romance, and just the right amount of spice, and pierced MC's (😉)—READ THIS ONE. 💕🌵
Tropes:
🌵 Grumpy/Sunshine
🌵 Dislike to Lovers
🌵 Low Angst
🌵 First Time with a Man
🌵 Bi Awakening
🌵 Opposites Attract
🌵 Family Involvement
🌵 Forced Proximity

I did really enjoy this, but I had some issues with it and I was almost losing interest in the beginning. I'm glad I kept going though! It was definitely worth it!
First of all, the biggest negative for me was how Fabian and Elias came together. Between the family members and the social media, it was so OTT and felt contrived. Even without them having much interaction with each other lately, somehow every single family member KNOWS from day one that they're suddenly attracted to each other and are constantly teasing, nagging, and pushing them together? And that customers just happen to get these videos of them without their knowledge, that just happen to go viral and attract a local fan following, so that there are even more people teasing them and pushing them together? It was just so much... way too much. However, once they actual romance started and they got together, it was really sweet and I loved them. 🥰
And then the time span.... Yeah, it was really quick and the ending was really sudden, in a way. I was just surprised that it was already over! There's a long epilogue... almost more like a time skip. A bit more story, but a year in the future. I liked that, but I would have preferred more of the original story. Then there were so many repetitive mentions and descriptions about the piercings, shorts, crop tops, and happy trails! Yes, all of those things are very sexy. We get it.
Despite my criticism, I very much enjoyed this once I got into it. The Mexican setting was unique and interesting, the annoying family members were hilarious and endearing, the banter and the dirty talk were excellent, and the romance between Fabian and Elias was as sweet and spicy as their No Regrets raspado! 😁

Review of advance copy received from Author
Two things: Crop tops and obscenely short hoochie daddy shorts.
This was SO, SO good and so hot. The spice was immaculate. The yearning/tension between Fabían and Elías was delectable. Just as addicting as raspados with extra chamoy and Tajín. I simply ate this up, left no crumbs, and am begging for more.
I am looking forward to book two: Caguamas & Commitment Issues, which you get a sneak peek of at the end of Raspados & Regret.
Ps: Please enjoy some of my favorite quotes (highlights went cray z).
"It caught my eyes dragging over him. It caught my jaw tightening. It caught the exact second my brain left my body and went to hell wearing a slutty crop top."
"Badass crop top papi on his knees on my porch, begging with his whole chest."
"Men like Fabían can want you like you are air in a locked room and still flinch when someone opens a window."

My first read by this author and overall it went okay.
Elias and Fabian had good chemistry, they were able to carry scenes where not much else was going on, and their sex scenes were pretty damn hot.
I just had a few problems with this which brought my overall rating down:
- While overall the grammar was good, there were times here and there were editing was needed. (I saw that it was self published so I understand why errors were there, but still...I think more thorough editing was needed for a published book.)
- Not much happens in this and it goes by very quickly. They've apparnetly known each other for years but this whole book takes place over like a week and a half.
- It ends very abruptly, and then we have the "epilogue" chapter which takes place a year later and is very long for an epilogue. It felt more like another chapter than a true epilogue.
- I kind of got annoyed with Elias. Like...he and Fabian were "enemies" (not really) and they "hated each other" (barely) and then within days they want each other badly, and they kiss like a week after being in such close proximity to each other - which, it was a very good kiss scene, I will say - and then they have sex the next day and then their relationship is treated like it's SO serious and they've been together forever.
- So, Fabian thought he was straight, or at the very least pushed down his bisexuality for a long time, and is just now coming to terms with it as he and Elias start something, and he's not ready for anyone to know quite yet - he asks for time, and while Elias tries to be supportive of that and understanding....he's very clearly not.
What I had a problem with was not Elias feeling uncomfortable having to hide their relationship and essentially be in the closet while Fabian figures things out - it's how he handled it.
So like...they've been doing shit for all over one day, two days when Fabian asks this. Elias clearly has a problem with it right away, and doesn't even really try to fake being understanding - I mean he "tries" but he's very bad at it. And the next day at the booth they're working at at the festival, Elias is almost basically giving Fabian the silent treatment.
Where's the understanding? He might not be trying to pressure Fabian, but I think he pressures Fabian to come out all the same. And Fabian does, just like that, even though he *said* he needed time. That isn't on Elias for Fabian choosing to do that, but the writing, in my opinion.
It was all too fast, too rushed, and unearned. Why introduce this element of Fabian not being 100% okay with himself and his sexuality if it was just going to be dropped in 2 seconds flat? Who gets over their fears and anxieties over coming out at the snap of a finger? It was poorly handled, in my opinion.
And Elias wasn't horrible or anything, and I understood him and his feelings, I just felt he should have perhaps not been so against hiding after 1 damn day, and 1 make out session and one time having sex. If he truly couldn't handle hiding after 1 day and no promises made between them yet, okay - he should have said that instead of almost giving Fabian the silent treatment and treating him so differently. I felt it was unfair of him. And honestly I felt like...they've been into each other for 1 damn week, they've been more for 1 day and you clearly can't handle trying to hide your relationship at all? If he's so into Fabian, he couldn't even try? Like okay he was "trying" but not really.
If this was months, years into a relationship I would 100% understand his attitude and all, but it wasn't. They hadn't even said they were boyfriends or *together* together yet. It was just too fast for Elias to have that attitude already and not be all that understanding. Especially when he makes a "joke" about Fabian's family not disowning him after Fabian has already come out. Like OH - Fabian was afraid of that and is still a bit worried his tia will change her mind and not be accepting and that is a very legitimate fear and Elias was not able to understand that? Or it didn't even occur to him.
It just...bothered me a lot. But it's all brushed over because Fabian came out very, very fast and very quickly got over his issues.
So...yeah. This takes place over about a week and a half, ends abruptly and then has a super long epilogue.
This was enjoyable, and I did like these characters, despite my frustrations with Elias, and they had good chemistry and hot sex scenes - although I will say, this did have quite a bit less sex than i was expecting especially as it promised "high heat" and to me that means very hot sex but also more of an abundance of it too, which we didn't really get.
So yeah, it has its positives for sure, but there were just quite a few niggles and bothers I had that 3.5 stars felt the most fair for me.
I perhaps will give this author another read in the future, although I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to do so. A fun read, but not a whole lot more than that, unfortunately.
Until the next one.

¡Mis amigos! ¡Ay, Dios mío! I absolutely LOVED this book. And honestly, we NEED more books like this!
Raspados & Regret by Izzy Ravas follows Fabián and Elías (Lalo), two men with a long standing neighborhood rivalry who find themselves sharing space at a summer night market. What starts with bickering, teasing, and plenty of tension soon turns into something neither of them quite knows what to do with.
First of all, THE CHEMISTRY. THE BANTER. THE TENSION. These two had me grinning like an idiot. Their back and forth was everything, and I was eating it up. ¡No podía dejar de sonreír!And can we talk about the outfits? Crop tops and slutty little shorts? I was not complaining and would definitely be checking out crop top papi if I was there!
I also loved how Izzy balanced all the humor, flirting, and ridiculous banter with those more emotional moments. These men are out here being “quiet loud”, emotionally yelling lol, and making me feel all the things. Porque, apparently, I came here to have fun and ended up catching feelings.
But what made this book extra special for me was the cultural representation. Seeing my culture woven so naturally into the story, from the food (THE ALBÓNDIGAS!), family dynamics, the chisme, and all those little familiar details made my heart so happy. It wasn’t just something added to the story; it was part of what made these characters and their world feel so real. It felt like home.
Izzy, ¡necesitamos más! More queer stories featuring Latino characters, more cultural representation, and more stories where we get to see pieces of ourselves reflected on the page. Representation matters, and this one reminded me exactly why.
¡Así se hace! I absolutely adored this one. Put this on your tbr, your shelves, everything!
Raspados & Regret by Izzy Ravas follows Fabián and Elías (Lalo), two men with a long standing neighborhood rivalry who find themselves sharing space at a summer night market. What starts with bickering, teasing, and plenty of tension soon turns into something neither of them quite knows what to do with.
First of all, THE CHEMISTRY. THE BANTER. THE TENSION. These two had me grinning like an idiot. Their back and forth was everything, and I was eating it up. ¡No podía dejar de sonreír!And can we talk about the outfits? Crop tops and slutty little shorts? I was not complaining and would definitely be checking out crop top papi if I was there!

Oh, this was an absolute GREAT TIMEEEEEE. Double Latine MC’s, banter and laughs GALORE, sexual tension that has you kicking your feet, giggling? So many references to the cultura, it makes you smile? And DONT GET MY STARTED ON THE DIRTY TALK. Listen here, Spanish dirty talk is SUPERIOR 👏🏽 I don’t make the rules, iykyk and if you don’t know, I’m just so sorry for you 💀🤣
I had SO much fun with this book. Izzy did an amazing job at mixing rom com vibes, with banter, laughter, sexual tension while still keeping the culture of the MC’s alive & still hitting you in your feels for certain parts.
Fabián, my crop top papiiiiiiiii. My grumpy, secretly scared, hot asf, dry humor having ass, mechanic 🤭🤣. His bisexual awakening was so cute. He embraced the panic but also didn’t let it deter him from what he wanted. The feels were felt when it came to his Tia and his thoughts/feelings on that.
Elias, my sunshine, chaos & chamoy, talkative asf, but secretly such a softie that wants to be loved, power bottom (💀🤣) babyyyyyyyyyy. He’s the perfect example of how so many people can hide behind humor. He was definitely problemático pero bonito 🤭🤣. My baby just wanted to be chosen and that plot point hit SO hard 😮💨😭.
I absolutely devoured this book! The blend of English and Spanish was done so well and 😮💨 it just made me realize how much I love & appreciate our language. The family dynamic was so spot on and it’s everything I never knew I needed. I loved everything about this book & I can’t WAIT for book 2 😍

Review of Advance Copy:
Let it be known I’m a white girl from Georgia who has less than zero knowledge about Bay Area Mexican-American culture. My google search was working overtime because apparently my Kindle clutches its pearls but it was totally worth it. I learned a lot of Mexican dirty talk. From almost the first page, this book had me cackling especially Elias’ (Lalo) sassy internal monologue. The TikTok “comments” were comedy gold. I never expected to see “yaoi” in a romance about Mexican-Americans. This sparks joy. There were so many funny moments but I’m trying to not be one massive spoiler (y’all just wait until publication day then it’s GAME ON).
There was just enough tension to make it hot when they finally snapped. These boys are down so bad and it’s perfection. Izzy *knows* how to write a kiss scene. Their first kiss had me fanning myself like a Victorian man who saw an ankle for the first time. The soft moments between them made the sexy moments even hotter. The breathplay? Oh myyyy. Fabi checking in with Lalo? We stan a considerate top in this house.
When I read a romance, I want to feel the connection between the main couple. I felt Fabi and Lalo fumble through their feelings about each other and about themselves though the latter is mostly Fabi. Their relationship felt organic and real instead of two cliches being forced together and asked to mate. I know as a reviewer I I can come down hard on genre romances but this story is proof that genre romance can be so much more. Five stars no question and this story will be a permanent resident on my Kindle.

This was such a fun read. I was sooo excited when I got a Mexican-American mm book!! Fábian and Elias were sooo awesome. Giggled and kicked my feet at the people secretly filming them fighting at the raspados stand and posting them to tiktok then them becoming "famous" for their steamy feuds. You know what...this book was definitely comfort read level for me. 4.75🌟🌟🌟🌟 for my liking.

OMG, I loved this book so much! 🥹💕
I’m new to this author, but I’m already obsessed. Fabian and Elias’s tension and chemistry are SO GOOD.
I genuinely could not put this book down and finished it in one sitting! The writing was beautiful, the romance had me completely hooked, and I’m already excited to read more from this author. 5/5 ⭐️

★★★★★★
These two gave me SO much to love. 😭 Fabian Salcedo and Elías “Lalo” Cárdenas have the kind of dynamic where every interaction feels like they’re one comment away from either starting another argument or doing something they absolutely shouldn’t. The stubbornness, the bickering, the tension sitting underneath all of it… I was HERE for it.
Fabian is such a character. He’s guarded, stubborn, and determined to act like his feelings aren’t his problem, even when they’re becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Meanwhile, Elías knows exactly how to get under his skin. Their personalities make such a good contrast, and I loved how their conversations could be funny and frustrating while still revealing how much was going on beneath the surface.
THE YEARNING. THE CHEMISTRY. THE SPICE. HELLO??? The attraction between them is impossible to overlook, but what makes their relationship interesting is that wanting each other doesn’t automatically make everything easy. There are feelings to untangle, fears to work through, and plenty of stubbornness standing in their way. The secret relationship adds another layer to that push and pull, giving the romance both the heat and the emotional messiness that make it so entertaining.
The humor deserves its own appreciation because the story doesn’t take itself too seriously. The banter and one-liners bring so much personality to the relationship, while the family involvement adds even more chaos and warmth. I love when the people surrounding a couple actually contribute to the atmosphere of a story instead of simply existing in the background, and the family dynamics here help make the world feel full beyond just the romance.
I also loved the cultural details woven throughout the story. The night market, the raspado stand, the food, the Spanish, and the Mexican American representation give the book such a distinct atmosphere. These details make the setting feel like an actual part of the characters lives rather than somewhere the romance simply happens to take place. And honestly, the descriptions of the food alone had me thinking about raspados. 😭
What makes this couple so easy to root for is that their relationship isn’t just about attraction. There’s years of history between them, genuine affection beneath all the arguing, and the question of whether they’re willing to stop letting their fears make decisions for them. Seeing them move toward something more honest and secure makes the romance feel rewarding, especially with the softer moments balancing out all that delicious tension. ❤️
▷ Overallllll, Raspados & Regret is a fun, spicy, and heartfelt MM romance with memorable banter, complicated feelings, family chaos, and a setting that gives it its own personality. Fabian and Elías bring plenty of stubbornness to the table, but that’s part of what makes their dynamic so entertaining. And with Caguamas & Commitment Issues waiting on the horizon, I’m already curious about what’s next!

4.5 TASTY STARS
OH MY FREAKING GOD. THIS BOOK MADE MY LATINA HEART SO HAPPY.
As a Venezuelan, the way I connected with Raspados & Regret by Izzy Ravas was absolutely INSANE.
The culture. The food. The family dynamics. THE TÍAS AND TÍOS. The responsibilities. The way EVERYBODY is somehow involved in everybody else’s business?!
I FELT RIGHT AT HOME.
And I’m not even kidding when I say this book made me crave a raspadito so badly that I LITERALLY WENT AND GOT ONE. Parchita a.k.a. Passion fruit with extra leche condensada. Sadly, it didn’t come with a Crop Top Papi included.
But can we PLEASE talk about Fabian and Elia a.k.a Lalo?!
Mis papacitos, muñecos, hermosos, corazones, bombones, cariñitos, NENES BELLOS!
Because WHAT DO YOU MEAN we have two men who’ve spent YEARS getting on each other’s nerves, only for one little summer night market mix-up to turn all that bickering into the most DELICIOUS se* xual tension?!
Fabian is this grumpy, emotionally constipated man who wants absolutely NOTHING to do with feelings, but apparently has no problem walking around in crop tops looking like an absolute SNACK.
AND THEN WE HAVE LALO.
ELIAS FREAKING CÁRDENAS.
THE TINY LITTLE SHORTS.
THE SL*TTY LITTLE GLASSES.
THE ATTITUDE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!
The way these two had me absolutely LOSING MY MIND over their outfits alone, never mind the INSANE se* xual tension between them?!
I WAS NOT OKAY.
And THE BANTER?!
The internal monologues?! The absolutely ridiculous comparisons?! The constant back-and-forth?!
I WAS CRACKING UP.
But what really got me was how underneath all that humor and INSANE se* xual tension, we have two people navigating their feelings, their insecurities, family expectations, and the terrifying realization that sometimes loving someone means taking a chance even when you have absolutely no idea where you’re going to land.
Because sometimes you just have to throw yourself off that emotional cliff and HOPE someone catches you.
AND THESE TWO?!
THE CHEMISTRY WAS CHEMISTRYING.
The yearning. The tension. The sneaking around. The way one little kiss turns into something neither of them can keep pretending doesn’t matter?!
HELLO???
And don’t even get me started on the TikTok component because WHY WAS THAT SO FREAKING FUNNY?! HIGHLIGHT DEFINITELY -not counting the amount of piercings included in this book GOD!-
I loved how much personality this entire story had. The neighborhood, the night market, the raspado stand, the nosy relatives, the food, the language. Everything felt so alive.
And being able to recognize so much of my own culture in a romance like this genuinely made my soul happy.
I was smiling. I was laughing. I was swooning. I was absolutely LOSING IT over the spice.
This was such a feel-good, ridiculously entertaining, sexy little romance, and I enjoyed EVERY FREAKING SECOND.
Fabian and Lalo, you have my entire corazón.
Izzy Ravas, I NEED MORE.
You guys… READ IT. READ IT. READ IT.

Well, this book was a very fun read! I loved all of the family members and the easy banter they had between them. I loved how nosy and involved everyone was!
It was fun seeing Elías and Fabían get over their animosity and discover their attraction to each other. I loved how Elías would provoke and poke Fabían until he would snap or try to beat him at his own game. I loved their chemistry and the tension between them was really great! I loved Elías' dramatics and how serious Fabían was, but he was also down bad and would do anything for Elías.
I laughed a lot, but also swooned quite a bit at things Fabían said. It ended in such a sweet way, but it was a very them way that the book ended. I loved the little glimpse into their everyday, and I really enjoyed the quiet domesticity and family time they had.
I'm very excited for what's to come in this series, because it's guaranteed to be a fun time.

I had the honor to beta/Arc read this book!
Omg! This book is refreshing and so freaking amazing!
Fabian is a broody man a mechanic who loves to wear crop tops. He’s working until his uncle comes in and ask Fabian to go to Bahia night market Fabian is like “NO” lol 😆. Until his Tia chimes in. Let’s just say he regrets going because no other than Elias Lalo Cardona his enemy!
Elias is super happy loves working in his family business selling raspados (shaved ice) he’s also temptation with slutty shorts. The moment he sees Fabian the banter begins. So does the chemistry, chisme and TikTok post.
This book is full of great banter,chisme latinè culture and so much more.
Fabian and Elias are the funniest sweetest couple you could ever ask for. Crop tops papi and Slutty shorts will have you swooning laughing and loving the whole familia.
Izzy never ever disappoints when she writes. You get it all I can’t wait for more

Easiest 5 stars I’ve given all year! A top read of 2026!
This book has everything; a little bit of yearning, a whole lot of tension, banter that had me kicking my feet, meddling family that had me cackling & swoon worthy declarations of want, need & ultimately love.
Fabián is my favorite type of character: grumpy with the biggest heart. Elías is silly & confident; a man who knows exactly who he is, what he wants & how to get it while never accepting less than he deserves.
Don’t get me started on the outfits. Not only do we have short shorts, slutty little glasses, crop tops & dickies but it’s the moment this grumpy mechanic shows up after midnight in grey sweats & slides & that TOOK ME OUT!!
I need more. It ended too soon.

✨ARC Review✨
⭐️ 4.5/5
🌶️ 3/5
Main characters: Fabián & Elías
Side characters: Junior, Anita, Fabián’s tío & tía, Elías’s mamá
Page count: 338
First person, dual POV.
This was such a fun and sweet read! The dynamic between Fabián and Elías is the perfect example of how there is a fine line between love and hate. Both are convinced they hate each other but once they are forced to work together their longstanding “beef” quickly transforms into something intense and decidedly more friendly. Izzy’s writing here is so clever and fun. There are so many amazing lines in this book, facilitated by the sassy and playful banter constantly happening between the MCs and side characters. I loved the infusion of all the Mexican-American culture into the story. It set the scene and tone of the entire book.
The way that Fabián fell so hard for Elías once he stopped fighting his feelings was everything. The porch scene was SO good. 🫠🫠🫠 And Elías knowing his worth and making Fabián work for it when he was being an idiot was honestly inspiring. They were so perfectly and equally matched in all the ways that mattered, I loved watching them figure everything out. And oh my goodness, the epilogue! Such a wonderful and steamy way to conclude their story. I loved every bit of it. 🤍

🍧 Review 🧋
First, let me start by saying this is a new-to-me author, and Izzy’s writing had me doing more than just walking to my Kindle—I was practically running to grab every MM book she has! 🤭 I couldn’t help but message the author and let her know that I NEEDED more. And yes, I was already impatiently waiting for the next couple before I even finished this one! 🤣🤭
Now, onto the book… 🤭 Talk about a book I did not want to put down! I seriously didn’t want it to end. The banter, enemies to lovers, piercing and yearning 🫠. I absolutely loved me some Fabián & Elías (Lalo)! Fabián being “Crop Top Daddy” and Elías being “Raspado Boyfriend” was seriously the cherry on top. 🤣🤭
I was giddy for most of the book, completely swooning over these two, but I also found myself shedding a few tears during some of their more serious and heartfelt conversations. 🥹 These two had me feeling all the emotions, and I loved every minute of it!
I had no idea how much I was going to love these two until I started reading. Before I knew it, I was completely invested and didn’t want to put the book down. The way they fought for their HEA had me rooting for them every step of the way. Fabián fought his attraction to Elías so hard that I just wanted to grab that man, give him a big hug, and tell him everything was going to be okay 🥹. And Elías refusing to settle for anything less than being someone’s first choice had me cheering him on from beginning to end. These two truly deserved nothing but happiness, and I loved every minute of watching them find their way to it. 🥹💜
The fact that this story is set in a Latin environment had me feeling nostalgic in more ways than one. It brought back so many familiar feelings, traditions, and little moments that made me smile. 🥹💜 The way they would casually throw a little Spanish into their conversations had me loving them more and more. 🤭💜
Please ✔️ TRIGGER WARNINGS before jumping in. If you have none then just jump in 😉.

The way they fought for their HEA had me rooting for them every step of the way. Fabián fought his attraction to Elías so hard that I just wanted to grab that man, give him a big hug, and tell him everything was going to be okay 🥹. And Elías refusing to settle for anything less than being someone’s first choice had me cheering him on from beginning to end. These two truly deserved nothing but happiness, and I loved every minute of watching them find their way to it. 🥹💜
The fact that this story is set in a Latin environment had me feeling nostalgic in more ways than one. It brought back so many familiar feelings, traditions, and little moments that made me smile. 🥹💜 The way they would casually throw a little Spanish into their conversations had me loving them more and more. 🤭💜

Fabian is roped into helping out his Tia at the night market. Normally that’s not a huge deal, except they have to share their market space with the Cárdenas. And Elías is there. Elías, with his tiny shorts, slutty glasses and teasing remarks. Fabian definitely doesn’t like him and definitely doesn’t notice how sexy he js. He doesn’t even NOTICE Elías, really. Except everyone else notices their chemistry, and it’s only a matter of time before Fabian accepts that he does too.
This book has:
-animosity to lovers
-quips and smack talk (they’re flirting)
-Latino MCs (done sooo well!)
-meddling family (I love them)
-self-acceptance
-begging
-dirty talk
-small town vibes
-lots of texting and secret hookups
This book was SOOOO GOODDDDD! I’ve seen a couple people rave about it, and I 100% agree that this book is worth the hype.
This is the kind of book where the relationship is 100% of the plot/focus, with no B plot. Sometimes these kinds of books have a hard time keeping my attention, but NOT this one! These characters were insanely entertaining to read about. They went from funny to sexy to emotional so well! Both MCs were very likeable in their own ways, and their banter and chemistry was amazing.
I found myself laughing aloud multiple times while reading, and it was in that warm way. Like the characters were my friends and I was laughing at something funny they said. The writing is genuinely THAT good. The emotional parts pulled at my heart strings, and the spicy parts had me sweating!
I also lovvvved how rich this book was with culture! I’m not Latinx myself, but I could just tell that this book was written with such love for the culture. Truly stunning. We NEEEED more MM books where the MCs have rich cultural backgrounds, and this was a masterclass.
If I had to give this book a critique, it would only MAYBE be that I wish the animosity / rivalry they had going on went on just a liiiiiitle longer, as it was probably my favourite part of their banter.
But omg when they got together. Their first kiss was INSANELY good. UGH! And their first time together? The lead up to it? UGHHHHHH
I love them. I’m obsessed with this book. Everyone should read it. That is all 🙌

Did Not Finish
September 20, 2026Okay so this opinion is based on what I've read so far which is 40%. I'm not trying to be rude this is just my personal opinion and if you don't agree it's fine. I respect your wrong opinions ♡♡ (jk LMAO)
Naturally I'm not rating the book.
I'm sorry but, why is everyone so hyped about this book?... at least it didn't work for me because there are so many things that were annoying and I couldn't stand them, the more I tried to read the book the more it ruined into an I have to read it and not an I want to read it. And I don't force myself to finish books.
1. Mexican Representation.
This book feels like Emilia Perez when Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez try to speak in Spanish. Well that's a good example how it felt reading this book. As a Mexican myself who lives in México (in the north) who have lived here my entire life with Mexican family and Mexican friends I just was lost when they were throughing those Mexican expresions: pendejo, güey, no mames.... no thanks. They all were threw in random situations and they just...
Nope. Like you can use regular expressions that everyone use. It's not necessary to throw a PENDEJO!!!. Sometimes it fit there but it felt forced. Like there was no really need of the expression to be there.
And well in general the book tried so hard to make it Mexican "oh this is Mexican, ok?. Don't forget it, it's Mexican. The characters are Mexican just if you forgot. IT'S MEXICAN!!!!. The author centers way too much on making the book feel Mexican that instead of feeling Mexican feels like a forced americanized representation of México and that's not good.
2. The enemies to lovers.
Why do they hate each other? Maybe that's clarified in the future but... why? Like... were they friends and something happened? Maybe a family shit that made them hate each other? What's the reason. The book starts and the crop top guy already hates the other one. If there's no base for the hate from the very start it makes it so unreal.
And this also takes me to the Second Chance part. How is this a second chance?. Again, maybe later in the book it is clarified but I feel that should be said from the very start of the story because it feels like you are making a story over... nothing. It feels like there's no base on this story.
3. The crop top.
He wears crop tops. Just if you forgot. HE LIKES TO WEAR CROP TOPS!!!!
CROP TOPS, CROP TOPS CROP TOPS!!!!!!
He wears crop tops just if you wanted to know or if you forgot.
I think that pretty much says everything.
4. Long chapters
Why the chapters are that long? It turns boring. The book feels like it's never gonna finish and the chapters keep going around and around over the same thing. Seriously in that 40%: they have to work together, they hate each other, there's tension.... and that's it. Why do you need those long chapters to say that??👀👀👀
And that's it. I'm sorry but I just couldn't enjoy this book as much as I was expecting. I'm happy lots of readers did love it, but it just simply didn't work for me and that's okay♡
***Also, for some reason it's shown to be a review about an Arc... but no, i didn't read it as an arc. It was a regular book I bought with my money.
Naturally I'm not rating the book.

Well, this book was SO much fun! The banter, the chisme, the family drama, and the chemistry between Elías and Fabián had me hooked from the start.
Elías is dramatic, playful, and loves pushing Fabián’s buttons, while Fabián is broody, serious, and secretly so down bad for him. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic was everything, and I loved watching the tension turn into something more.
The family was honestly one of my favourite parts! Everyone is nosy, involved, and absolutely hilarious. It felt like listening to gossip at a family cookout, and I loved every second of it. The Latine culture, funny tías, social media chaos, and family banter made this such a refreshing read.
And Fabián in crop tops and Elías in his slutty shorts? I was SWOONING!
For a novella, this felt surprisingly complete, with well-developed characters, great chemistry, and a sweet ending that felt so perfectly them.
A fun, spicy, feel-good read, and I’m definitely excited for what’s next in this series!
Tropes:
🥤 Grumpy/Sunshine
❤️ Enemies to Lovers

What can I say about Raspados & Regret by Izzy Ravas one word spectacular. I would go into battle for these two I would seriously fight anyone who is hurtful to these boys.
The banter between Fabian and Elias is off the charts and its that banter that draws in the crowds. Fabian finds out that his family has to work the same space as Elias's at the market. Fabian does not want anything to do with Elias he would rather do anything than work with him however the shorts that Elis or "Lelo" wears the looks that they share boils over and Fabian kisses "Lelo" its everything Fabian wants one problem he's not into men or at at least he wasn't before Elias.
What I loved about Raspados is that its a love story at its core it illustrates but it also shows us what Fabian is feeling.

If Izzy writes it, I will read it. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Give it to me and I'm devouring it like a snack because, HELLO, what's better than Slutty Crop Tops and Hoochie Papi Shorts?? Them being together in one book that also includes slutty glasses and industrial hardware for our two MMCs Fabián Salcedo and Elías Cárdenas 😮💨
Fabi and Lalo are my new favourite obsession in Izzy Ravas' newest book Raspados & Regret. I seriously cannot get enough of these drool worthy men. There's so much sexual tension between them throughout the book, gahhh I can't stand it, but like, give me more lol
Their ongoing grudge, the arguing that is more like flirting type banter, is top tier! You can't help but fall in love with these two guys. This book had me laughing out loud, and kicking and screaming while swinging my feet like a 12-yr old girl, that's how amazing it is.
12/10 MUST READ!!!

Excuse me while I pick my jaw and melting heart up off the floor.
Before reading this, Izzy already had me hooked with crop tops, little shorts amd slutty little glasses. And it delivered! Add in some top tier banter and spice, perfection. I loved everything about these two and this whole book. Fabian and Elias had me swoony so hard over how much of a sap they are for each other.
I can't recommend this one enough! I'm already ready for a reread!
Thank you, Izzy, for this ARC 🖤🖤🖤
