A Dish Best Served Hot - Caña, Natalie

. .

Résumé :
From a comedic cast of supporting characters to an emphasis on the importance of community... A vibrant second-chance love story about repairing community and romantic connection. -Kirkus Reviews (STARRED) It's a pleasure to watch [Ca?a's characters] develop over the course of the novel. This is a treat.-Publishers Weekly (STARRED) Santiago Saint Vega gets a second shot at love with Lola Le?n, but when duty to his family forces him to do something she'll never forgive, will everything he's built come crumbling down? Years ago, Saint walked away from the girl he loved to fulfill his duty. Now he's struggling to build bridges between his drifting family, take on more responsibilities at his uncle's construction company, figure out why his daughter refuses to talk at school and curtail his mischievous abuelo's escalating pranks. Then she walks back into his life. Social justice advocate Lola Le?n has returned to Humboldt Park for two reasons: to help care for her dear abuelo and to serve the community center she loved, particularly the shelter for unhoused LGBTQIA+ youths. When she finds out that the Vegas are responsible for endangering both, she is more than ready to go to war-even if the boy she never forgot is standing at the front of the battlefield. Neither of them expects to become allies in saving the shelter, helping Saint's daughter or ending the decades-long feud between their grandfathers. They definitely don't expect all of their old feelings to come rushing back. As Saint and Lola enter combat, they can't help but wonder where the other's true allegiance lies, and whether they'll win these battles only to lose each other.

Biographie:
Natalie Ca?a loves to incorporate her you'll-never-believe-what-just-happened-to-me personal experiences, enthusiasm for telenovela tomfoolery, and love for her Latinx culture into creating funny, heartfelt, and just a little bit over-the-top contemporary romances for characters who look and sound like her. A Proposal They Can't Refuse is her debut novel.
