A Caribbean Heiress in Paris, by Adriana Herrera
4.0
✨Aggressively virile and with the biggest co—✨
I think this is a great book for someone newer to the genre, especially someone who’s looking for a historical romance with a contemporary feel. It’s got a good amount of heat, although the Eiffel Tower scene wasn’t all that I thought it could’ve been. We did get a “good girl” and hands and knees from behind later on so the book was hot, just maybe not as hot as I was expecting. The scenes were short but the language was just right.
The audiobook narrator was great and I’m glad I switched halfway through. (Scottish brogues are always best in audio.) The beginning was a bit of a slog for me, though I’m not quite sure what didn’t work. I enjoyed it, but it took me a while to get through. I suppose the plot wasn’t that intriguing to me, and I wanted more of the relationship… Which feels not 100% correct, because we did get a lot of time with the two of them together…but I still wasn’t that emotionally invested.
I absolutely adored Adriana’s novella (My Duke Makes Me Feel) (set at the same Parisian World Fair) in the Duke I’d Like to F… anthology. I think the length of the story was advantageous to the plot development, while keeping the relationship centralized. I’ll definitely be reading more of her historical content when she publishes it, as I think she’ll only continue to grow more into the genre.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5
