Not reading this immediately after the first book made the beginning of this a little hard to get into. At the start of this novel, the characters have already had their meet cute, and we're starting a bit into what's already been done for their romance. As such, my initial investment wasn't very high.
After that hurdle, I was much more invested. The characters are really charming, and I found myself rooting for them. And unlike Anna-Maria and the Fox, the sex scenes weren't nearly so cringey, and there weren't any awful pet names.

This series is so fun

Meh? Has a cool cover and interesting premise, but I just wasn't feeling it when I started reading it.

This is the second book in the Luna Sister series (and I read this one first - whoops), and wow what a delight. I love a Victorian era romance, and this one really hit the mark! It mixes all the elements of Victorian romance that I love with an accurate historical backdrop. You'll swoon. You'll cheer. You'll learn a thing or two about Mexican independence from French occupation.
