Book Review: Along Came Amor (Primas of Power, #3) by Alexis Daria
Oh, where do I even begin with Along Came Amor? From the moment I cracked open this latest gem by Alexis Daria, I had a feeling it would steal my heart—and by about 30% into the book, I was practically vibrating with excitement, knowing it was a 5-star read in the making. It was 2 AM, and despite having work in the morning, I couldn’t tear myself away from Ava and Roman’s passionate journey. Yep, it has been an hour, and I’m still lost in thoughts about these characters. Here’s why this book captivated me so utterly.
At its core, Along Came Amor explores the intricate dance of a one-night stand that spirals into a secret romance. I genuinely appreciated how Alexis tackled themes of age gaps and billionaire love while diving deeper into the emotional weight of childhood trauma. This is not just your typical romance; it carries depth and authenticity, especially when it comes to Ava’s experiences as a first-generation immigrant. The pressure she feels to live up to her family’s expectations is so relatable, and I found myself reflecting on my own experiences with familial expectations, which made her journey even more poignant.
Roman serves as the perfect counterpart to Ava, and their chemistry crackles on every page. Their relationship is intense yet refreshingly natural, driven by real fears and desires rather than melodrama. It’s that push-and-pull dynamic that made my heart race. Ava’s hesitations are palpable, and Roman’s steady patience and unwavering devotion create a love that is both achingly beautiful and deeply satisfying. You can’t help but root for them!
Alexis Daria’s storytelling is one of the true highlights of this book. Her vivid descriptions and immersive scenes made me feel as if I were there, living each moment alongside Ava and Roman. It felt like I was watching a movie unfold rather than reading—every scene playing out in cinematic glory. The dialogue is sharp and witty, and I found myself jotting down quotable lines that echoed in my mind long after I closed the book.
I feel incredibly lucky to have received an early copy of this novel. As sad as I am to see the Primas of Power series come to a close, I can’t wait to see what Alexis Daria conjures up next. If you have a soft spot for emotional, culturally rich romances that resonate on multiple levels, then Along Came Amor is an absolute must-read.
This story is a journey of love, growth, and self-acceptance—one that not only entertains but also invites reflection on our own lives and relationships. So grab your favorite cozy blanket, prepare for some late-night reading, and immerse yourself in a world that feels both familiar and enchanting. You won’t regret it!
