Full Moon Over Freedom (Milagro Street Book 2)
"Angelina Lopez is the new queen of small-town romance—and of our hearts!" —SIERRA SIMONE, USA TODAY bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute
Gillian Armstead-Bancroft—Pride of the East Side and once-perfect bruja, wife, and mother—is going to spend her summer getting good at being bad.
The first time she left Freedom, Kansas, behind, she did it by doing everything right.
This time, she’ll hide from the large Mexican American family welcoming her home and work in secret to break the curse that’s erased her magical life. Only by doing it all wrong can Gillian get herself and her two children away from the ghosts of her hometown by summer’s end.
Nicky Mendoza is an answer to her prayers. He was the practical solution to the problem of her virginity when they were younger, and now, as a gorgeous artist in town for only a weekend, he’s the ideal man to launch her down the path of ruination.
But Gillian isn’t the only one who’s cursed.
Nicky has been plagued by his furtive, enduring love for her as long as he’s been haunted by his cadejo, the phantom black dog that stalks his psyche. He’ll stick around to be whatever Gillian needs him to be this summer—but he won't touch her. Touching her, then watching her leave again, would ruin him for good.

There is something about a girl coming back into her witchy-ness
After years of conforming and assimilating, being a trophy housewife and stay at home mom Gillian is now divorced and broke. She is also back in her hometown picking up the pieces and running into old friends like Nicky. (He's high key, low key the love of her life, he taught her lots of things right before she went off to college.) Nicky is engaged and a successful artist visiting the hometown as well. Their run in is so charged and electric, but sobering once Gillian finds out about his love life.
Not too long after that first run in they both soon find out they have to work side by side for the town's mural. In that forced proximity is where the couples magic resides.
This book was so beautifully different from book 1, as it should be. Gillian is a whole different sister with her own trials and personality. She has a very common story many Latine women go through when they awaken out of this assimilation and step into their true identity. That in itself is such a powerful story.
But yeah the chemistry is delicious too. So are the lessons. Gah. This book is the perfect combo of what some might call "womens fic" with a romance genre type of merging. Where both the personal development AND the romance is important to the plot.
