She wanted to prove to her family that she wasn’t a failure. So when she was given a chance to skate again, even if it was with the last person she wanted to do it with, she took it. She knew she was good, too, but yet her overthinking always got her in trouble during competitions. When Jasmine’s skating partner bailed on her, she was beyond devastated. She is a few years younger than Ivan and is known for her smart mouth and sharp tongue. One of her sisters got her own story, too, in Dear Aaron. Jasmine Santos is the youngest of five siblings. He is the older brother of Jasmine’s best friend, Karina. His family name owns the sports center that both Ivan and Jasmine has been going to for years. Ivan Lukov is the man of the Figure Skating world. Before I go to the bad, let’s go through the good, yes? When I picked up From Lukov with Love for the second time and started reading, I remembered why I don’t think highly of Ivan Lukov and Jasmine Santos like I do for Aiden Graves and Vanessa Mazur (Yes! The Wall of Winnipeg and me). *Scrolls her Instagram for clues*Ĭan you tell I’m a huge fan of hers? Heh. This is the third book of hers I’ve read this year, and I hope, and pray she releases a surprise book before the end of 2021. So yes, rereading this one because I need more Sports Romance and I’ve been feeling nostalgic for Mariana Zapata’s books. I forgot their names! And the only memory of this one was when she got sick and twisted her leg.

I mean, I knew it was figure skating and Lukov. And to be honest, I kinda forgot what it was about. I decided to go back to this since the first time I read it was – according to Goodreads – early August 2019.
