An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera

3.0

I loved the first book in this series and was so excited for this one, but honestly, it was a bit of a letdown. The most significant issue was pacing. I felt like things didn’t really get started until the 50% mark; the first half of the book dragged. Cora was another issue. The inconsistency of her character was too much. Honestly, Manuela deserved better.

What I liked: the growth of Manuela, the friendship of the Leonas, and the portrayal of the lesbian community in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. That was fascinating! Very hot sex scenes. Gorgeous cover.
