Still reeling from the unexpected breakup with David, Emily nurses her broken heart by spending time with her best friends and taking one-too-many vodka shots. After one long night, she takes a good, hard look at herself in the mirror and doesn’t like what she sees. She realizes that she has sacrificed too much in her failed relationships from the past and vows to never settle for anything less than almost-perfect again. As she picks up the pieces and regains her confidence, a sexy Spanish chef moves in across the hall and completely knocks her off her feet. What ensues is an unexpected and tantalizing affair that opens her eyes, and her heart, to a whole new world and leaves her feeling sexier than she has ever felt. Emily finally sees how easy love is supposed to be. Is happily-ever-after actually possible? Just when she starts to think so, she realizes that sometimes life gets more complicated before it gets easier. And complicated is an understatement when Steven (her best and oldest friend) confesses his love for her. Everything spirals out of control as Emily must make a choice between love and friendship, and in doing so, possibly risk it all.

LOVE IN TRANSLATION, is a modern day love story about following your heart to unexpected places and taking chances in life … because sometimes you will find exactly what you are looking for.

After going through a breakup with a cheating jerk-off boyfriend, Emily starts questioning her choice in men.  She seems to always go for the losers, though she knows she deserves better.  She vows to never settle again.  She's bound to find a guy that she adores that treats her the way she deserves to be treated... right?

To Emily's excitement, a sexy Spanish chef moves in across the hall from her.  She's instantly attracted to him and looks forward to getting to know him better.  Just when she begins to think her love life might be on the mend, a wrench is thrown in when her BFF Steven confesses his love for her.  Now she's completely lost and doesn't know what to do.  Man, love can be stressful!

If you're looking for a sweet, fun story, this is the story for you!!  It actually gave me the "warm and fuzzy" feeling that some stories can inflict.  I definitely think this is a story that most women can relate to, and almost all will enjoy.  This is a must-read for sure! :)
