The city boy with a promising future meets the beach town girl with a troubled past in this unlikely romance.
Alonzo Reyes has everything going for him: a close-knit family, a scholarship to law school, and his dream girlfriend. He’s golden…or so it seems. In reality, he’s floundering on the brink of that dreaded f-word. Failure.
After a revelation pushes him over the edge, he escapes to the waves of La Union and crashes right into the town’s resident grumpy surfer.
Cam Cruz has no blood ties, no college degree, and no boyfriend. But she loves her life near the sea with friends who feel like family. All she needs is a stable job—not an annoyingly attractive boy from Manila messing up her flow.
Alonzo can’t help being intrigued by the one girl he can’t seem to charm, and no matter how many times Cam says goodbye, fate has other plans. When their paths cross again, they learn that there’s more to each other than meets the eye. Judgments are questioned, emotions are compromised, and soon, their beliefs about love are put to the test. Can they overcome their differences for the chance at an epic ride, or will they play it safe and stick to solid ground?
The Fallacy of True Love is the third and final book in the Reyes Siblings. We follow Alonzo, the youngest among the siblings, as he crossed paths with Cam, a strong-minded beach town girl.
I was hooked from the very beginning. This book is set in a small beach town in the Philippines and I loved the vibrant description of the place. Miranda’s writing is engaging and very beautiful.
Cam is fierce, loyal, and independent. She is not someone who is easy to warm up to. She is a bit grumpy and her past experience made her distrust people. Alonzo is a dreamer. He wants to be a lawyer since he’s six years old. He hates disappointing his family especially his father. He is dedicated and hardworking. He is also a walking green flag. The handwritten notes? Seriously. The chemistry between Cam and Alonzo was captivating. I enjoyed the banters too. I loved how they do unexpected and sweet things for each other. I thought the romance was perfect. It was heartwarming to see how Cam slowly opens up to Alonzo. How they accept each other. All the scars and flaws. Nothing beats a healthy romantic relationship and I loved that for them.
The conversations between Alonzo and his parents made me tear up. I found it so relatable. Some of my favorite tropes are present in this book such as sibling dynamics, found family, and opposites attract. I have yet to pick up the first two books but I didn’t feel lost while reading this one. It can definitely read as a stand-alone. It made me more excited to meet Alonzo’s sisters, Tala and Luna.
The Fallacy of True Love is more than just a romance book. It’s about recognizing your worth, finding genuine happiness, and taking chances both in life and love.
