I love Cora and Manuela! This sapphic historical romance will stay with me for sometime. I loved the sort of hidden yet not hidden society of sapphics in Paris who have learned to earn their ways in society in an effort to not have to rely on men they would marry. 

Manuela is so confident, beautiful and so sure of her wants and I loved that. Cora is confident to the world but hides her wants and desires for the perceptions of her as a businesswoman. The two of them coming together made me so happy and I cannot wait for the 3rd book with Aurora. This series is one of my fav historical romances.
