Helen Hoang, a talented author from San Diego, has been on my radar for a long time, and I’m thrilled to have finally delved into one of her romance novels. Stella and Michael’s story is everything I hoped it would be—heartfelt, engaging, and beautifully written.
What makes this book even more special is the way Vietnamese food and culture are woven seamlessly into the narrative, adding a layer of richness and authenticity that feels both intimate and celebratory.
Romance novels, in a way, are their own kind of fantasy—grounded in the realm of possibility yet imbued with the magic of love and hope. And let’s be honest, who among us doesn’t yearn for a happily-ever-after of our own? Helen Hoang delivers just that, with charm and elegance. Highly recommended for romance readers looking for a story with depth and heart.
