De la Rosa, Liana

Ruby Hunt returns to narrate the second installment in De la Rosa’s “Luna Sisters” series (following Ana María and the Fox), using her seasoned talent to portray the many voices of the large cast of characters, capturing especially Captain Dawson’s warm British accent and Isabel’s Spanish-inflected English. Libraries should plan on stocking the complete series for historical romance readers.

In this exquisitely written second installment of the “Luna Sisters” series, after Ana María and the Fox, De la Rosa again skillfully blends elements of historical fiction and romance, transporting readers to Victorian London with a complex and compelling Latina protagonist.

An excellent Bridgerton read-alike that should have broad appeal.

This delectable Victorian Latinx romance from De la Rosa (author of the “Once Upon a Scandal” and “The Daltons” romances) will delight fans of sexy historical romances with strong social justice plots, such as Alyssa Cole’s “The Loyal League” titles and Evie Dunmore’s “A League of Extraordinary Women” series.
