Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark

December 31, 2022 Leave a Comment

August 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

I dived into this story having never seen West Side Story so it’s entirely possible I missed out on any homages to the musical. Angelo and Mariana’s feuding families collide when their respective mariachi bands are pitted against each other in a life-changing mariachi competition. This is a fun, well-rounded romance with just the rightRead the Post
