Sleeping with the Frenemy

Caña’s sizzling third Vega Family Love Stories romance (after A Dish Best Served Hot) reunites readers with the big, welcoming Puerto Rican family that gives the series its name. Sofi Santana has had a secret on and off romance with her friend Kamilah’s brother, Leo Vega, for years, but they’ve been decidedly off for the past 19 months after a falling-out between Sofi and Kamilah. During that time, firefighter Leo suffered a career-ending injury and hoped that Sofi would come running to his bedside. When she didn’t, he reluctantly accepted that his feelings for her would always run deeper than hers for him and decided to finally move on. But now Sofi’s back in town after a stint in Europe and eager to mend fences with Kamilah by helping her prepare for her wedding. She needs a place to stay, so their meddling mutual friends and relatives push Sofi and Leo into an uneasy roommate arrangement. In close quarters, sparks inevitably fly. Series fans will be delighted to check in with the extended cast, and new readers will be swept away by the central couple’s chemistry. With plenty of charm and chuckles, this keeps the series going strong. (Oct.)
