Liana De la Rosa stuns again in Isabel and the Rogue! I was hooked before I even started the book because of Isabel. Isabel is the bookish heroine of my dreams. She's on a top secret mission for Mexico to ensure the safety of the Mexican government and her family during the French Occupation. She hasn't made much progress since the end of AMATF, but Captain Sirius Dawson flips that on his head when he finds Isabel sneaking around in another man's study again. 

Isabel and Sirius really did something to my fragile little heart. There's plenty of spy antics and not-so-harrowing escapes, but the soft moments between Isabel and Sirius are the star of the show in my opinion. I'm a sucker for a reformed rake and Sirius is definitely one of my favorites of all time. He's just so swoony. 

It's literally impossible not to root for Isabel. I walked away from this with a much deeper appreciation for sisterhood. Isabel and her sisters are the most realistic siblings I've read in a while. I'm begging everyone to pick up this series of interconnected historical romances!
