I loved Luz and Evan as main characters. Luz had such depth and personality, especially as an Afro-Caribbean woman determined to go into business on her own. Although the circumstances that drew them together for a marriage of convenience were unfavorable, Evan was very open and willing to care for Luz as if she was his true wife.
I loved the discussion about colonialism and slavery and its lasting impact on the Caribbean. Evan was constantly willing to listen and validate Luz's concerns regarding her place in the world and her direction for the distillery.
I'm looking forward to reading the upcoming stories with the Las Leonas!
