My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️.75

General Thoughts I really enjoyed the first in this series; I loved this one. I loved the FMC/MMC so much, and their chemistry together was great. I loved how much we learned about the characters and how real they felt. The author did a great job bringing them to life. They felt so real. This story was so rich too. I enjoyed the quiet strength of the FMC, who self-identifies as a wallflower, and her desire to help. I loved the MMC riddled by guilt and trying to atone for his "past sins." I enjoyed learning more about this time in history that I had previously not known more about. I suspect this may be my favorite of the three books, but I can't wait to read the next one. Definitely spicier than the first.

Spice Meter: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥.5 Deliciously, decadently spicy. Not overwhelmingly so, but definitely there.

Eeeeek I really loved this audiobook! I loved how Isabel really grew as a character. She became so sure of herself and  it was so lovely to watch. I liked how much the plot was expanded upon, too. It helped move the story along really nicely. The romance was also so swoon-worthy! I liked the growth of Sirius and Isabel together and separately. I just really like this series and can’t wait for the third book!

This is not wholly the authors fault, as this is a personal bugbear of mine, but I am completely over authors telling me their character is so smart, while showing her doing and saying dumb things throughout the whole book. I don’t mind if the character is not smart or a little smart! But don’t tell me she’s wildly intelligent and then have her act like the opposite!

To say I care about you is an inustice to the thunderstorm of emotions I feel whenever you're near. Or not near. Whenever I think of your name or imagine your face.

You know those books that you finish and immediately wonder if you'll ever feel this way about one of them again? Isabel and the Rogue is one of them. I'm sitting here with all my emotions for this book leaking out of my eyes, slack jawed, and stunned and so full of emotion and gratitude. 

This book was perfect. Every single detail was thought through. I'm someone for whom the little details make or break a book for me—and here, they beyond elevated the story. 

I'll have more to say another time for but for now I''m going to bask in the sheer joy this book brought me.
