"I don't want to be the wallflower Luna sister anymore. I want to be more."
After reading Ana Maria and the Fox last year, I needed to read the next in the series! I will say, this one felt a little light on the romance for a good chunk of the book because Isabel and Sirius were at odds with one another for part of the book. However, I love what De la Rosa did to bring about the romance by having them work together to find out information to pass along aid to Mexico. Once they begin to work together, Isabel's tough exterior begins to come down and the tension between her and Sirius begins to build. The espionage plotline seemed like it almost took priority over the romance but I did enjoy that aspect of the book. The sneaking around that we see between Isabel and Sirius leads to some spicy scene and the under the desk scene was *swoon* Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read Gabby's book next!
Thank you Berkley Romance for my gifted finish copy and NetGalley for my early digital copy to review.
