𝗠𝗥𝗦｡ 𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔 𝗕𝗨𝗬𝗦 𝗔 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗟 is the second book I’ve read by Talhi Briones, and once again, I’m thoroughly enjoying her writing and layered characters. In this queer historical novel, Talhi excels at blending humor and drama in a way that feels natural and compelling. Victoria’s journey from a sheltered, abused wife to a brothel-owning, piano-recital-hosting Madam in the Wild West is both empowering and unexpectedly heartwarming. I found myself rooting for her from the start! The maps at the beginning of the book were a great addition—they helped me picture the setting and added richness to the reading experience. The story balances social tension, emotional growth, and a slow-burn sapphic romance with the mysterious and kind widow Díaz. I’m so glad the author sent me a copy for review, and I’d happily recommend it to fans of queer romance with a fun, unique historical twist.

I was an editor on this book and I really felt the love and care from the author between the pages. I laughed, I cried, and it made me feel something. I loved the relationship between Victoria and Natane, I loved the girls, and found myself rooting for all of the beloved characters in their different stories.
