Isabel Luna has always been overlooked and discreet as the middle sister and bookish wallflower. She can sneak away from ballrooms and events unnoticed..... or so she thought.... Captain Sirius Dawson notices Isabels coninuous disapearances and offers to help her sneak around to get the information she needs to save her country.
After finishing the first book in this series, I went straight to this book and I can honestly say it did not disappoint!!! I related to Isabel a lot in the first book and was excited to read more about her and her spy- plot in this book.
I loved the relationship Isabel and Siruis had, as partners in crime and as a "couple". Their connection was very vulnerable and real...showing their true selves and their flaws but still loving eachother unconditionally. Siriuis really saw Isabel for the amazing, intelligent woman she was and went to great lengths to ensure she was safe and happy. Their love story was definitely my favourite so far!
I also liked the Historical components in this book and learning more about the Mexican war as I don't feel this is talked about alot! Liana did a great job explaining the issues and effect war had on people.
Overall, I loved this book and the historical element was really inspiring. I cannot wait for Gabby's story!!!
