4 solid stars for I Want It That Way! This really isn't a falling in love sort of story -- although that is a beautiful part of this story, it's just the easy part. I Want It That Way is more of a story about taking a chance on love in spite of everything, past present and future. 
 What I liked most about this was Nadia's voice. She's a good student, a good friend, a good employee, a good daughter. It's no wonder that she's drawn to Ty and Sam, her downstairs neighbors. Ty's a single dad with no time for love. He's got his boy and his own heart to protect. 
 In spite of Ty's intention of just being friend-with-benefits, Nadia and Ty fall in love. It's all very lovely, until a small emergency has Ty thinking too much and eventually running scared. 
 I love writers who can take the highs and lows of everyday life and make it interesting, and Ann Aquirre does just that. There are a few slow spots, but it was easy to move through them. If you are looking for a lot of drama and external forces messing up the relationship to provide the conflict, you may not like this. Most of the drama in this one comes from Nadia's roommates and they didn't have enough page time for me to get invested in them. 
 I Want It That Way is a feel good story that shows love isn't always easy and sometimes you have to have faith and not give up. In the end it's all worth it. 
 I really liked this and I'm looking forward to the followup books in this series.
