Mauricio y Jimmy deberán sortear toda clase de obstáculos y de prejuicios para tener la hija que sueñan. ¿Lograrán su objetivo? ¿Qué clase de familia serán?

Mauricio es mexicano, guapo, sensible y sueña con convertirse en un gran fotógrafo. Jimmy vive en Miami, es profesor universitario y un apasionado de la política. Se enamoran y después de trece años de una sólida vida como pareja, solo una cosa parece ensombrecer su relación: cada día Jimmy está más convencido de que tienen que convertirse en padres.

La idea es adoptar un bebé que complete la felicidad de la pareja. El problema es que para la gente como Mauricio y como Jimmy no será tan fácil formar una familia. Gente como yo no sólo explora el amor filial y la pulsión por la paternidad, además plantea preguntas fundamentales para la sociedad actual: ¿cuántos tipos de cariños, de parejas, de amistades, de familias y de vínculos afectivos existen en el mundo contemporáneo? ¿cómo se constituye una familia en la actualidad?, ¿cuáles son sus retos? En esta maravillosa historia de amor se da visibilidad a búsquedas y posibilidades que por fin se abordan sin tapujos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mauricio and Jimmy must overcome all kinds of obstacles and prejudices in order to have the daughter they dream of. Will they achieve their goal? Can they stay together? What kind of family will they be?

Mauricio is Mexican, handsome, sensitive, and dreams of becoming a great photographer. Jimmy lives in Miami, is a university professor and is passionate about politics. They fall in love and after thirteen years of a solid life as a couple, only one thing seems to be missing in their relationship: each day Jimmy becomes more and more convinced that they must become parents.

In this wonderful love story, the characters not only explore filial love and the strange drive for parenthood but also raise fundamental questions for society: how many types of affection, couples, friendships, families, and emotional ties exist in the contemporary world? How is a family constituted today? What are its challenges?

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
