Loved how the relationship developed with the historical context in the background.

4.75 stars because of the use of the word "cunny" we need to ban that word from romance novels

Another incredibly cute entry in this trilogy, with really exemplary blends of history and romance. Again somewhat fantastical in terms of social interactions, this book nonetheless feels more grounded and more earned than the first.

Isabel and the Rogue is a pretty good read. I enjoyed the spy espionage aspects of this story and I think the author blended it well with bits of history. It will keep readers engaged.

I also like that Isabel and Sirius together, they had a good flow on page. I enjoyed that he loved that she was more interested in things outside of pretty dresses and balls. I do however; wished the author had focused more on building their romance as it felt lacking.

All and all, I liked this story. Would definitely recommend to readers who are looking for more POC representation in their historical romance.

*thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
