About the author

Having spent the greater portion on her childhood and adult life hopping continents, Erica Fuentes has a multifaceted background in the field of diplomacy and protocol, both in the private and the public sector, including consular foreign service. The mixture of her international experience with her basic Hispanic family values brings a unique perspective to her characters and settings for her novels.
When not writing Hispanic romance novels or meticulously translating other author’s work, Erica spends her time helping colleagues as director of a translators’ cooperative, with associate members covering over fifty languages on five continents.

She lives with her husband Luis, whom she met twelve years ago when destiny brought them together as co-producers of an international public television event in Mexico City. They divide their time between their homes on the Virginia Coast, Mexico City, and Guanajuato, Mexico, enjoying their children, grandchildren, and three Siamese cats.

Reviews

[Valarie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dated but still a good quick romantic read.

[Charley-Shieedah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not much of a..."romance" novel reader per se, but a friend gave it to me, told me I'd love it and I loved it. It was a sweet love story. Now that I think of it, it favors "My big Fat Greek Wedding" in how the two main characters found each other and the leading lady came out of her shell, but not as cheesy.
It had one little twist at the end, but I loved it noetheless.

loved both quincy and Lena's characters, a very sweet story. I identified so much with lena's character and loved how she became more confident throughout the story.
