ARC provided by NetGalley and Loveswept4.75 Stars!Serena Bell brings us a poignant and refreshing romance. Immigration is a hot topic in our current political climate and Ms. Bell bravely addresses the issue without villainizing either side. She simply tells the story of Ethan Hansen, widowed pediatrician with a teenage son, and Ana Traveres, Spanish tutor from the Dominican Republic who is tutoring Ethan's son, Theo. As the story progresses it is revealed that Ana and her family are in the United States illegally. With this revelation, the reader is introduced to a population in our country that is "living in the shadows." It is realistic and at times, raw. I loved watching the romance develop between Ethan and Ana. It was believable. You will definitely come away from this book with a new perspective on immigration and how families can be affected by the laws governing it. Thank you Serena Bell for tackling this sensitive issue and giving us a beautiful love story in the process. I will definitely read more books by this author.
