A cute rgency romance! I love that this series features Mexican women and touch on a part of history that I honestly had never heard about before (the French invasion of Mexico).

My biggest issue is the whole Isabel being a spy thing. Did these men in Mexico legitimately think she was going to find them pertinent war information at social parties? A lady with no training? These men who believe a woman is good for nothing but a wife??? I'm just assuming they thought her expendable. But every time she floundered about in studies I had to roll my eyes a little.

Overall a quick, fun read, and can't wait to read Gabby's story.

Thank you to the publisher for providing a free copy of the book.
