I'm thrilled to announce that with just two months until the release of After Hours on Milagro Street on July 12, my high heat, small town contemporary romance about a bad ass Latina bartender and head-in-the-clouds-but-hot professor got a starred review from Publishers Weekly!

"Sparks fly and tempers flare in the passionate, un-put-downable rivals-to-lovers romance that launches a sizzling new series from Lopez....Reserved Jeremiah and ballsy Alex shine as Lopez expertly peels back their layers, and together they make an endearing power couple. Lopez seamlessly blends high-heat romance with discussions of Alex’s heritage and the fascinating history of 19th-century Mexican immigrants to the Kansas plains.
This is a treasure."

I also got to talk to the lovely Lisa Martinez about what inspired After Hours on Milagro Street in an article they included alongside the review!

"I think that people who’ve read me more than once know that they need to strap in with my heroines. If you have a male hero, he doesn’t show up on page excusing himself for his strong points of view. I want to write strong heroines the same way."
