Early readers have already said wonderful things about Give It to Me:

Super sexy, gorgeously emotional, and centering Latinx love, Give It To Me has fourteen high-heat short stories and something for everyone— slice-of-life moments between long-term partners, first (and last) encounters, and a few cameos from your favorite Filthy Rich and Milagro Street characters…. Overall, for the people saying romances aren't political, they haven't read Angelina M. Lopez. The fourteen short stories felt as empowering and timely as they were sexy, which is no mean feat. I'd absolutely recommend this to any contemporary romance reader.—Triviareads, Goodreads reviewer

 In Give it to Me: Sexy Tales About Women Getting the Good Loving, Lopez gives us a collection that shows her range as a story teller. From the jet-setting billionaire and her wine making prince to a woman who has gone back to school looking for some precious alone time in the library stacks, Lopez is writing about women getting what they want….—Rochelle, Cannonball Reads

…These aren’t throwaway sexy stories but lush, rounded, well-characterized tales that are also sexy.—Guiltless Pleasures, Goodreads reviewer

Preorder FULL MOON OVER FREEDOM, book 2 in Milagro Street series

In a recent Fated Mates podcast, New York Times-bestselling romance author Sarah MacLean described me as the "reigning queen of bad-ass heroines." That's a crown I'll wear proudly!

But what happens when all the things that make a woman feel bad-ass are taken away?

I explore that -- in my own bonkers, escapist, sexy way -- in my upcoming book, Full Moon Over Freedom. Full Moon Over Freedom is the second book in the Milagro Street series and is now available for preorder.

Cover by Alex Cabal coming soon!

Good Mom Gone Bad

Full Moon Over Freedom is about perfect D.C. wife-and-mom Juliana "Gillian" Armstead-Bancroft, the oldest of the three Armstead sisters, who has to return home for the summer. Please God, just for the summer, she tells herself. She plans on keeping her head down, finding a good job, and getting her and her kids back out of the town she never thought she'd have to return to.

Screwing up her plans, however, is Nicky Mendoza. She hasn't seen her childhood-friend-turned-gorgeous-bad-boy in thirteen years, and when she picks him up on the side of a country road, she thinks it's a sign. They're on the country road where he taught her about pleasure, and -- as an antidote to the misery of her failed marriage and failed life -- she thinks they can have a one-time lesson.

That, however, goes incredibly awry when she discovers that Nicky is not available. To make matters worse, she learns that Nicky is a successful artist who will be spending the summer in Freedom. If Gillian wants the part-time job she desperately needs to make ends meet, she'll have to work by his side.

Tropes

Full Moon Over Freedom is a high-heat, small-town, Latinx, second-chance contemporary romance with tons of pining, a big Mexican-American family, forced proximity, competence porn, lost history, and a touch of bruja magic. It's not out until September 2023, but preordering is a HUGE GIFT to authors -- preordering signals to publishers that readers are excited about this book, and will encourage publishers to spend more on marketing and promotion.

I've seen the cover and it's GORGEOUS, another beautiful design from artist Alex Cabal, the same artist who designed After Hours on Milagro Street. I will be revealing it soon.
