Lea Santos

I did like the book, just not as much as the previous three. The falling in love came a bit too soon for me to believe it and, I think, that was the biggest obstacle for me. Madeira's conversion from player to devoted just came too quickly and easily for me.

I found the two main characters very likable and enjoyed their chemistry. The extended family was a nice addition to the mix. DoDo and the Bees were a treat.

Even with its problems, I still enjoyed the book and the characters. I'm a little sad to see it end. I miss Emie, Iris, Paloma.… (mer)

**Just finished my first reread of this one and loved it. My review stands!**

I was chatting with a friend who shares similar reading tastes and said something like "I'm looking for a well written, light, classic romance that's got some good humor. What can you recommend?" I've been having a tough few weeks and just needed something to lose myself in for a bit. I'm hard to please when it comes to grammar and stuff like that...

My friend thought for a few minutes and said, "Have you read Lea Santos? I really enjoyed her Amigas y Amor series,(or words to that effect)."

I hadn't read any of her stuff but knew of her good sense of humor from catching some of her conversations on Facebook. Because of her, well, her stealing it from someone else and me stealing it from her, the word "ricockulous" is now a regular utterance in our house.

So I picked up Little White Lie and absolutely loved it. I couldn't give it 5 stars because, of course, it was obvious what was going to happen and how but I did truly enjoy the book. I laughed out loud more than once and enjoyed the characters much more than I thought I would.

I'm supposed to be reading something else in preparation for the podcast we're recording in a few days but, no, now I'm starting the next book in the series.

Thank you, Lea Santos, for such a nice group of friends you've introduced me to. I can hardly wait to get to know the rest of the gang better.… (mer)
