When the “thunderbolt” of love really happens and there is no denying its heat, its intensity. When life events threaten to pull loved ones apart. When the world is a smaller place than you imagine. When true love never dies.

This is the story of the “captain” and the “queen,” a coming-of-age romance set on Long Island. The passions of a daughter of a Greek tycoon and a Hispanic boy from a middle-class family are tested against all odds as they become more than just friends. The question is: how long can it possibly last?

The Captain & the Queen by Phillip Vega

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This takes place in the 80's where there are no computers or cell phones.
Mateo and Callie are seniors in high school, at a private school. She is a new student who catches Mateo's eye as soon as he sees her. She is Greek and he is hispanic. Her dad is a Greek tycoon and Mateo has a dad being unemployed. His family loves Callie but she is afraid to tell her dad as he expects her to marry and have kids once she is 21. It's young love and getting caught up in their lives and romance, young love.
This was so well written and I read it in 1 day. I could not put it down. And the ending was perfect!
Thank you to Edelweiss for the ARC to review.

Phillip Vega has always been a storyteller, but he’d never put pen to paper until a few years ago. Suddenly, he had a publishing contract, and in the midst of the vortex of marketing, analytics, refining, and continuing to write, he discovered what he defines as his true calling, his passion. He is now fully and happily immersed in the whirlwind that is the publishing industry, even as he diligently continues his work in software sales.

Phillip is a Long Islander with Hispanic roots, now living Florida, and it is from those memories of summers in Long Island that he crafted his book, Last Exit to Montauk. Now he can’t stop his brain from working through new ideas for future stories.
