Reviews with content warning for Sexism - A Caribbean Heiress in Paris

While I don’t tend to read many historical romances I did enjoy A Caribbean Heiress in Paris. This book was a slow start for the first few chapters but was really engaging once the scene was set and the pace picked up. It’s a fun spicy read that I would recommend.

What a beautiful story. The author does an amazing job with the imagery, somehow making the FMC and her Lèonas pop compared to the other characters. It was as if I was watching a movie where Luz Alana and her circle were in color and the rest was in black and white. Truly amazing.

There are many lessons to be learned from this story. Just as with the imagery, the author does a great job of educating her readers without it feeling like an education. Everything is organic to the story and flows with each situation Luz Alana or Evan happen to be in at the time. The setting, the concept, the interactions, all wonderfully done.

There is an instant connection between Luz Alana and Evan and I was overjoyed to learn this would be a fake relationship story. One of my favorite tropes. Before these two even agree to embark on their fake marriage, they are already in deep. Not only is there a strong physical attraction, they are both very impressed with the other’s grit and determination to go after what they want and have earned. Two extremely head-strong characters, both with an overabundance of compassion for those around them.

The only thing that detracted from this story for me was the pacing. Something about it was off and I can’t quite put my finger on why. It made it much easier to put the book down, yet I was always eager to pick it back up. Which means I will be snatching up the next book in this series as soon as they announce a publication date.

5.0

A historical romance that is not only sexy and trope-y and fun but looks at the effects of colonialism and how all those rich dukes got to be rich makes for a great read. I love Luz Alana and las Leonas and can’t wait for the next book. I love learning history while reading a historical.

I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway. My opinion is solely my own.
