k8dyson 's review for:
A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke
by Adriana Herrera
I received an eARC of this audiobook from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Steamy! The chemistry between the main characters absolutely crackles, but I really enjoyed the author's character and world-building. She really brought the world or historical Paris, the French Riviera, and their relationships to the Americas and Caribbean to life. I particularly appreciated the ways the author grappled with the realities of race, colorism, class, and identity as these characters navigated their worlds. I often found myself wanting to hear more about Apollo's background or follow Aurora to her clinic more often. The narrator did a wonderful job capturing the voices and emotions of the characters, including using realistic accents and Spanish language passages. The pacing felt a little unbalanced with a rush of plotlines emerging and wrapping up too quickly at the end. Still, I'm eager to read the earlier books in this series and whatever comes next from this author.
