From Lukov with Love

Product Information

I noticed how you, Ivan, treated her. You cared for her. You wanted her to be happy. You put a smile in her face everytime she's down. I'm mad with you, Jasmine, for ignoring his sweet gestures. Yes, I knew that you have insecurities and trust issues. You needed support from someone you could trust. I loved how you grew. It was worth waiting for that you achieved it, at last. From Lukov with Love is a kind of sort of hate-to-friends-to-lovers slow burn contemporary romance. It follows two talented figure skaters, Jasmine Santos and Ivan Lukov, who, after years of bantering finally decide to join forces and become partners in pair skating. I typed out a reply, because knowing them, if I didn’t, the next time I looked at my phone, I’d have an endless column of JASMINE on there until they heard from me.

From Lukov with Love is a captivating slow-burn romance novel that explores the journey of two talented figure skaters who are unexpectedly thrust into a partnership. Beyond the romantic elements, the story delves into themes of overcoming fear, admitting one’s feelings, overcoming adversity, pursuing passions, and the power of love. If you are using “but” as a connector, it is considered that we are erasing the compliment by default. We can use other connectors like "and" or "in addition to that" or anything else according to your common sense that is appropriate for the situation and won't cancel your praise. I will. I think the encyclopedia needs an entry on Assholes and could use your picture as an example.” Because I’m okay with you having ten other people be your favorite. But you’re always going to be my favorite person,” he finished. “Always. No matter what.”i didn't for one second doubt my love for ivan. the minute he showed up i was 100% in love. this man ugh i love him LOVEEEE him. we all love him idc. Who would have thought that IVAN LUKOV of all people would be a dog mum? Not me for certain but I loved every scene. I know that he is the best dad to his children <3 The inner monologue felt odd and frankly, a bit too much at times. I loved Jasmine as a character because even though she was a bitch, and different to any other MC we usually get, she showed how she developed as a person as the story unfolded. The character development was so strong with Jasmine. Cheers to the author for showing that so well.

Prepare yourselves to fall even harder for Jasmine Santos. To any fellow figure skaters out there, Jasmine is for you. To overachievers, to those who seek validation, to those who have struggled with body image issues and performance insecurities, to those who have grown up not feeling sympathy for themselves, Jasmine is for you. For reference: I am sure everyone has in their life someone like Ivan Lukov – someone who gets mad and disgusted by such morally-rotten creatures and feels the need to help their friend whatever it takes genuinely because they care deeply about them. This is a highly personal topic for people and varies depending on the individual's personality and situation. Personally, I felt like their chemistry was at a constant 'best friend' level, because both of them needed that at the time. It felt weird and odd in the last 10% for them to get together as more than just that. It felt rushed and like the author needed to get out that they were actually more than friends. Whilst I enjoyed reading about the ice-skating, the family relationships, Ivan and Jasmine's hate to love friendship and loved Jas's personal growth, I just couldn't buy into the fact that she was meant to be 26 and him 29! I kept thinking they were 15/16?! I've never spent so much time in the head of such an immature, insecure drama queen! I really didn't like Jasmine, the heroine for most of the book; she was rude, obnoxious and godamn, the constant monologues and childish insults were too much! Don't even get me started on the blinking. Jasmine blinked at Ivan. Ivan blinked at Jasmine. She blinked at her mum, her coach, her siblings etc. I wanted to hurl my kindle at the wall at some points. We get it, they blink a lot.. Some other reactions woulda been appreciated 😂

Games

It was supposed to be a "slow burn" but the only burn was the pacing of the time: it jumped between seasons and some things didn't even make sense at the end of some chapters. Like, girl, I wanted to know more about certain moments. I just don't know why but some chapters felt off... I can't even say I felt it like a book focussed on romance bc I'm pretty sure it was more focussed on their relationship as partners, friends and then becoming best friends, anD THEN WHEN I WAS THINKING "HERE SHE'LL REALIZE" SHE DIDN'T AND IT PISSED ME OFF. Last year, I fell in love with Mariana Zapata’s writing. I loved how her books were set up. They are super slow burn romance. In fact, the majority of her books aren’t necessarily about the romance. They are more about the main character’s journey within themselves. I love how that journey leads them to a romance with (usually) someone unexpected.

I also loved the fact that in this book, the main issue discussed has been about bullying and harassment – the type that starts online and ends up going on in real-life too. I mean disgusting pervs and stalkers. And sadly, this hap And when we finally got to know Ivan better – I didn’t see it coming and that part totally got me swooning. This thing was like a Kulti-fied Cutting Edge and it made my inner little 1992 nine year old heart just burst with happiness. PDF / EPUB File Name: From_Lukov_with_Love_-_Mariana_Zapata.pdf, From_Lukov_with_Love_-_Mariana_Zapata.epub However, all her books so far I listened as audiobooks. And Callie Dalton, the narrator, did an amazing job, at least for my taste.

What It Is About

Throughout the narrative, the power of love is portrayed as a transformative force. Jasmine and Ivan’s relationship transcends their professional partnership, providing them with emotional support and healing from past wounds. The story showcases how love can mend hearts, change lives, and inspire personal growth. A Well-Written and Memorable Read This was very much the signature slow burn Zapata is known for. I love the duet style narration, even though the book was told solely from Jasmine's POV, Ivan's lines were voiced by a male narrator. Speaking of narrators- the Callie Dalton/Teddy Hamilton pairing was EVERYTHING! I loved the characters, loved the story, and loved the audio. This was a very enjoyable and entertaining read I would highly recommend! From Lukov with Love didn’t end up amongst my favorites by Mariana Zapata, but I still enjoyed it. Partially because- again, it was very soothing and relaxing. And partially because I really loved the characters. I’ve seen you before. There’s no way anyone would see you on the ice and think there was a price limit on it,”

Anyway. Go read From Lukov with Love. None of you romance novel aficionados out there will be disappointed. Prepare yourselves to witness spice, sarcasm, and healing— and startlingly accurate descriptions of what it’s like to be out there on the ice, falling on your butt and loving it. So part of me has to believe that Zapata had this movie in mind or was paying homage to it in some way. Cause not only is Edge one of my favorite all time movies and Zapata one of my favorite authors...figure skating is one of my favorite sports, so this was just a joy to read all around. This is the story of Jasmine Santos and her determination to prove everyone – herself included – that she is one of the best figure skaters out there. Her time has not come yet and she would definitely smash the door in its nose if it were to come by any time soon. In my opinion, physical books, e-books and audiobooks are all crucial in the reading process of an individual. Each one has its own pros and cons. I think it is absurd to compare them.The easiest way to solve the above problem is by trying to find people having the same wavelength as your friends. Then they will be happy naturally by your presence and conversations with you without you taking any extra effort for the same. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she’s spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.
