satyrane 's review for:
Isabel and The Rogue
by Liana De la Rosa
I received a free copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group; all opinions expressed are exclusively my own.
Apparently Isabel and The Rogue is the second book in the Luna Sisters series, but it did not hinder my enjoyment of this story! Based in history, this romance was sweet and satisfying. The historical basis is deeply interesting in recognizing the affect British colonialism had on the world, the repercussions of nationalism, and the ethics of "acquiring" historical art and treasures. I especially enjoyed the recognition that Mexico was colonized by Spain; Isabel is mentioned to take after her Purépecha family. Really, if you want a historical romance with some whitewash removal, this is a VERY good time.
For sensitive readers, there are scenes of graphic sexuality, references to war, PTSD, and referenced childhood neglect.
