If I wanted a lecture on how bad Europeans are for colonizing, I would log in to social media, not pick up a book. This did not disappoint! I knew nothing of the Mexican invasion by the French or the subsequent migration to England of people fleeing the conflict so learning about it through the Luna sisters was great. And Fox's origin story, featuring a slave ancestor who fled on a freighter headed to England, was something I hadn't even considered but of course makes sense. Why would the Underground Railroad only use overland routes? I love how more diversity in historical romance is introducing me to all this stories I've never heard. As for the romance itself, I so felt Ana Maria, being an oldest daughter myself. Loved how they danced around each other while coming to truly respect each other's strengths, both being genuinely compassionate people. My favourite kind of pairing. Also loved the relationships revolving around the two and see where the next two books are going. Can't wait to read their stories! I live and breathe romance novels. I love them. Specially Historical Romance, they are the very air I breathe. I adore them, without a doubt! This one was downright a pitiful excuse for a Historical Romance novel. The absence of historical contextualization and the lack of character evolution made it fall short. Character evolution is a big deal for me when it comes to a good romance novel, and this book fell very short. The characters didn't seem to grow or change in a way that drew me into their journey. I was left wanting more depth and connection, which unfortunately never materialized. I am not picky when it comes to cheesy, or smut, or even the most outlandish, or dark/questionable love stories.. this one had simply - nothing. - Overall, it was a letdown and a waste of time. I only finished it because it's very difficult to stop a book once I've started, but this should easily go on a DNR or DNF. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
