Such a fun read and I am so looking forward to other installments in the Leonas series. Evan is so sexy and the chemistry with him and Luz is off the charts. The sex scenes are awesome and it takes a little while to get there. Their relationship has an interesting slow build feel despite the fact that they get together very quickly. It also does something that I love in Beverly Jenkins and other diverse historical romance that it recenters non-white narratives of the past. Luz's Dominican identity is central to who she is and she is not watered down for the sake of her Scottish love interest.
