Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I’ll give Ali Hazelwood one more try with Love Theoretically but after that, I need to accept that her writing is not for me.

British high society is transformed when three Mexican heiresses arrive on their shores in this Victorian epic by a winning voice in the genre. As the eldest daughter, Ana Maria maintains a "perfect" image for her family while she and her sisters reside in England during the French Occupation in Mexico. But Ana Maria, intellectual that she is, can't resist a good verbal sparring with Gideon Fox, the rising star in Parliament. A courtship is too much risk for both of them but can they resist temptation? Deeply romantic and so well-researched; read if you love historical fiction/romance!
