Silvana Reyes is a Mexican book blogger. She enjoys all types of sub-genres, but loves a good love story. Romance fiction is her heart and joy and you might find her screaming about book releases on her Twitter account.
This year is really the year of Latine romances. And it fills me up with immense joy! We have come a long way from the days when there were only five to ten Latine books released per year. Now, you can find a wide variety of Latine romances throughout the year featuring themes and tropes we love to read, from marriages of convenience to college-set romances. Written by Latine authors and featuring Latine main characters, the books you’ll find below are perfect reading for Latine Heritage Month and beyond.
