Review: When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley The romance is sweet, but what Erin really loved about this book was the found family coming together to support the MC when he really needed it.

Overall: The best part of this romance was the gay, Puerto Rican outsider finally finding a place inside. (The found family is strong with this one.)
