She’s especially concerned about her new job at the Catholic school, because although they haven’t yet enacted a morality clause in their employee contracts that would give them the right to terminate employees for infractions (such as being unwed and pregnant) they could still make things difficult for her. I admire her for her convictions, for her willingness to take responsibility for her actions and for her not taking the easy way out.
Rosa so rarely lets herself be impulsive and the one time she does, it comes back to bite her. What a lovely romance! It’s on the sweeter side, with on-page kisses but off-page love scenes, though the consequences are the same. Can Jeremy show Rosa that together they can have everything, including love? She’s willing to be co-parents with Jeremy even if it’s the more difficult route. She wants a marriage built on love and respect. But no matter what happens, she refuses to marry out of obligation. She dreads telling her two sisters about the pregnancy, as well as other relatives who will be disappointed in her. Her new job as librarian at a Catholic school could be in jeopardy, and she is aware that gossip in her church may be unkind. Rosa knows that the easiest thing to do would be to marry Jeremy. But Rosa shocks him when she refuses his proposal. He’s been raised to always do the right thing, and that means proposing marriage to Rosa, whom he’s also secretly cared for a great deal.
They’d hoped he’d follow in his step-father’s footsteps and become a lawyer but Jeremy insisted on going out on his own, building his own career in information technology. Surviving an abusive relationship, Jeremy’s mother married a wonderful man who raised Jeremy as his own. Jeremy comes from a wealthy society family, though they have had their share of heartache. As luck would have it, despite using precautions Rosa ends up pregnant. At the wedding of her older sister Yazmine, Rosa throws caution to the winds when she gets the chance to spend the night with her secret crush, Yazmine’s best friend Jeremy Taylor.
She doesn’t make hasty decisions and she has a plan for her life. Rosa has always been the responsible Fernandez sister. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable romance where a seductive night together leads to unintended consequences (that’s a euphemism for ‘Oops! We made a baby!’). There are happier times ahead as Her Perfect Affair begins with a wedding celebration for the couple from book one. I enjoyed that story, though I did find it quite emotional as the women deal with their father’s cancer diagnosis. Priscilla Oliveras had a successful debut romance with His Perfect Partner, the first in the Matched to Perfection series about three Puerto Rican sisters finding love amid the laughter and tears of everyday life.
