Jasmine has a few rough, very unsuccessful years behind her. It follows two talented figure skaters, Jasmine Santos and Ivan Lukov, who, after years of bantering finally decide to join forces and become partners in pair skating. What It Is Aboutįrom Lukov with Love is a kind of sort of hate-to-friends-to-lovers slow burn contemporary romance. For example, in From Lukov with Love, Jasmine’s sister Ruby is the main female character from Dear Aaron. But you will occasionally run into characters from her other novels.

Meaning, they are not sequels and you absolutely don’t need to read them in any particular order.

And I often end up liking her books even more the second or third time around and I almost always increase my rating.Īs all her other books, at least from what I’ve read so far, From Lukov with Love is also a companion. In fact, several of her books, and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me especially, are amongst the books I reread most often. In fact, I’ve heard some people say Zapata’s books help when their anxiety kicks in.Īnd these books seem to lose none of their magic on rereads. That is why I especially like to pick them up during stressful periods – not many things can help me relax like her books can. They soothe me for some reason and always make me feel better. Her books are my version of feel-good books. I especially loved her sport romances, which is a bit odd because I am not even all that much into sports. I always click with her stories and more importantly – her characters. Mariana Zapata is one of my favorite contemporary romance writers. It’s been sitting on my shelf for around four months, which is too long for a Mariana Zapata book for my standards. I can’t believe I didn’t pick up this book before.
