Wait for It

Diana Casillas's life revolves around two of the sweetest boys in the universe and their antics. Becoming the legal guardian of her nephews may be a lot, but she's got it down pat. And through all the tragedy that has struck their lives, they're happy in their little bubble. Until Dallas comes along.

Dallas Walker is a rough and tumble guy with a past, he's “married” and totally off limits, as Diana told herself. She's not interested in her nephew's new baseball coach/neighbor. He's kind of an asshole as it is, I mean she definitely WAS NOT flirting with him. And her and the boys are happy on their own.

But what's a little neighborly favor? Of combing out lice, helping with a fence, or shooing off unwanted guests. Through Dallas's acts of kindness, Diana realizes that he isn't as bad as she thought, he's loving and so sweet to her and the boys, despite his hard exterior. Will she finally let him into her family?

This book was amazing. It was a SLOW, SLOW burn. And that bugged me at first, however, I pushed through it and I was SO GLAD I did. They are adorable, Dallas is the sweetest gentleman to Diana and so unbelievably in love with her and the boys. The relationship that he has with both of them is beautiful. Their friendship developing first was adorable and so lovely to read.

I appreciated the issues of grief, alcoholism, broken marriages, and the diversity of the cast. A Latina main character, woop woop! Zapata's humor was great, it had me giggling more times than not. I highly reccomend!
