Letโ€™s be honestโ€ฆ the world right now is harsh. And it feels dark. And itโ€™s hard to keep fighting, especially when thereโ€™s no end in sight. And romance novels are largely seen as an escape from that reality. 

But what if I told you I had a romantic, super spicy historical romance that will also leave you feeling energized and inspired. Let me introduc you to the Doctora.

๐Ÿ“” ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Enemies-to-lovers, banter for days, he falls first.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Aurora became a doctor against all odds, and is now running a clandestine clinic for the women. Apollo is a duke, defying tradition after unseating his father. She canโ€™t stand him, but canโ€™t stay away from him either.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: I can not rave enough about this book. Itโ€™s one of my favorite reads this year, and maybe one of my favorite historical romance reads of all time.

Let me say, first and foremost, that Adriana Herrera is an excellent writer. Every single word in this book felt beautiful. Every scene felt purposeful. Her period knowledge is incredible. I just want to slow clap for her brilliance.

Aurora was an incredible FMC. Fierce, funny, independent, passionate. Her work for women, her past, her pull toward Apollo while also being desperate to maintain every piece of herself sheโ€™s fought forโ€ฆ I loved her through and through.

Apollo is impossible not to swoon for. He loves Aurora so deeply, and because of (not in spite of) everything she thinks are flaws. Heโ€™s big, strong, and impossibly sexy. 

Also, I say this is enemies-to-lovers, but the spice hits IN THE PROLOGUE. 

I canโ€™t wait to go back and read the first two books in this series. Iโ€™m so beyond floored.

Feminist part was fun, romance was a bit of a letdown, I expected more Provence
