Overview

Inspirada en Persuasión de Jane Austen, Adonde te lleve el ritmo es una novela romántica juvenil en español fascinante sobre el primer amor y las segundas oportunidades.

Reyna, de diecisiete años, ha pasado la mayor parte de su vida en la Plumería, el magnífico hotel que su familia tiene en la costa de Tobago. Pero lo que antes parecía un paraíso, ahora comienza a parecer un purgatorio. Han pasado dos años desde que la madre de la Reyna murió y también dos años desde que Aiden, su mejor amigo de la infancia, su primer beso, su primer amor y su primer todo, dejó la isla para perseguir sus sueños musicales.

Los amigos de la Reyna están planeando sus futuros y marchándose al extranjero. Incluso el padre parece querer seguir adelante, dejándola sola para intentar que la Plumería siga funcionando.

Y es en este momento que Aiden vuelve a su vida como invitado VIP del hotel.

Aiden ahora es un tercio de DJ Bacchanal, el último grupo musical del momento. Mientras que Reyna se ha quedado exactamente donde él la ha dejado, Aiden ha regresado a Tobago con su grupo nominado a los Grammy y dos preciosas chicas de la alta sociedad de Los Ángeles. Y tal vez está (o tal vez no está) saliendo con una de ellas...

«¡Qué debut más encantador! Es como las vacaciones perfectas en la isla: ligero, cálido, romántico, con mucha investigación interior y lleno hasta rebosar de amor.» —Jasmine Guillory, autora superventas del New York Times.

Inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion, Adonde te lleve el ritmo is a captivating young adult romantic novel in Spanish about first love and second chances.

Seventeen-year-old Reyna has spent most of her life at the Plumeria, the magnificent hotel her family owns on the coast of Tobago. But what once seemed like paradise now feels like purgatory. It has been two years since Reyna's mother passed away, and also two years since Aiden, her childhood best friend, her first kiss, her first love, and her first everything, left the island to pursue his musical dreams.

Reyna's friends are planning their futures and moving abroad. Even her father seems ready to move on, leaving her alone to try to keep the Plumeria running.

And it's at this moment that Aiden re-enters her life as a VIP guest at the hotel.

Aiden is now one-third of DJ Bacchanal, the hottest musical group around. While Reyna has stayed exactly where he left her, Aiden has returned to Tobago with his Grammy-nominated group and two beautiful girls from high society in Los Angeles. And maybe he is (or maybe he isn’t) dating one of them...

"What a charming debut! It's like the perfect island vacation: light, warm, romantic, with plenty of soul-searching and filled to the brim with love." —Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author.
