This book had so much to say politically, and it was fascinating to read a romance that approached such a wide variety of unpleasant topics and didn’t shy away from the realities of life in the 19th century. I thought all of that was done nicely, and the unique setting of Yucatán was interesting and really enjoyable. The story meandered just a bit, but I found this romance to be really compelling in part because Letty never eased up on her convictions, and Cameron kept pressing himself to be better and live up to her very high standards. I’m so excited for the other books in this series and loved the preview of Cybil’s story that was tucked into the ebook.
