The Butterfly Bride by Vanessa Riley
4.0
TBB is a delightful historical romance from a new-to-me author who wrote a biracial black heroine who gave me so many feelings and a widower hero who comes with a ton of fear and worry for his family and for his "butterfly."
The Butterfly Bride definitely made me want to yell at them to just...kiss already but the slow-burn was worth it. At some times I thought I should have read the previous books in this series to get more of their banter but at the same time, I liked that they got the chance to fight and banter and makeup all in one book dedicated to them.
This book also deals with a lot of instances of racial injustices, especially ones that the heroine faced. I liked that the author went there and brought forth discussion-worthy topics such as racial prejudices within the society as well as child labor and how dangerous it was for women. I felt so anxious but also relieved and happy at the end.
This book could be rated very mild since there are no explicit sex scenes but very nice kissing ones. I am sure historical romance readers would enjoy this tremendously.
Rating: 4.5 stars.
