Sofia has no choice but to go with Tito in order to keep Emilio and baby Eric Safe.
Emilio could never understand why Sofia abandoned them but seeing her years later he’s determined to get answers.
Wow I just wanted to make everything right for this family.
Hoping there is more from the other family members soon.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Wow! I loved this story about Emilio and Sofia!
After getting to know Emilio in Cabezon, I wanted to know more about him and Eric and what had happened between him (Emilio) and Sofia. I was intrigued by how Rose Croft so adeptly and cleverly crafted their unique story. I was so invested and immersed in their story, I couldn’t stop reading.
I’m totally invested in The Mendoza family! I can’t wait for book 3!
Again Primitivo is a story you won’t want to put down it will have you hooked! I felt so much for Sofia what she endured and what she went through for the one’s she loved! My heart was going two ways for Emilio and his love/hate for Sofia! But that little guy Eric was sweet, sincere and smart taking all our hearts! Perfect ending! Bring on more of the Mendoza’s family!
Primitivo by Rose Croft is the second book in ‘The Mendoza Family’ series. First was Cabezon, which you should read Cabezon so you get the full story. This is the story of three brothers. Vincente, Emilio and Yovani.
Vince had his with Dani in Cabezon, and this is Emilo and Sofia’s.
It’s a sad, suspenseful, somewhat tragic and angsty story of lovers turned enemies back to lovers. Emilo hates Sofia for abandoning, not just him, but their six-month-old son four years ago but she’d been given no choice in cutting all ties.
When fate brings them back together, they fight tooth and nail against their attraction but it’s a pointless battle. Two broken people who once loved hard and now have to face a harsh past before they can finally move on and live in peace. Will they be allowed the happy ever after they deserve? Find out in Primitivo today.
I really thought it couldn’t get any better when I read Cabezón but I was so wrong! My poor heart went through the wringer with this one. My heart ached and my mind raced as the story unfolded. I was brought to my knees with tears in my eyes for everything that Emilio and Sofia endured. The sacrifices that were made on both ends to protect the ones they love. They both share pasts that break you to your very soul. Happily ever after isn’t a concept that either of them are familiar with. But that doesn’t stop them from fighting for it, fighting for a happiness that they more than deserve with their son, Eric. I am in love with this perfectly, imperfect love story. I am impatiently, anticipating the next journey with this family in book three, Jugador. #mustreadseries #booktoread #bookrecommendations #youwontbeabletoputitdown #thisbookiseverything
I absolutely love Emilio and Sofía’s story. I was captivated from the first word till the last. Emilio loves fire Ely and with all his heart. He protects the ones he loves no matter what.
There were so many times I wanted to shake Emilio for being such a jerk. I het why Sofia did what she did and that he was angry because he didn’t know the whole story but the dude was so hot/cold before everything came out. Drove me crazy.
