Anchored Hearts is a second-chance romance that transports the reader to Key West.
Anamaria and Alejandro were high school sweethearts but then he left, she stayed, and it's been a decade since they last spoke. But now he's back in town, staying with his family while rehabbing a bad injury, and they're thrown together in the same room. The reader can feel the tension between the two of them -- it's clear they have a connection, but how will either trust the other again?
The real highlight of this book for me was how doggedly Anamaria pursues her career aspirations. I loved that her hopes and dreams didn't take the backseat to any possible romantic relationships. I also really enjoyed seeing the different ways in which her family and community showed up for each other.
This book was a bit wordy for my tastes, and the pacing a little too slow -- I enjoyed their love story, but I didn't love the reading experience. Still, there was a lot to like about Anchored Hearts, and I'm absolutely interested in checking out other books by the author.
