After reading Liana de la Rosa's Daltons duo, I was excited to dive into her newest series start, Ana Maria and the Fox, book one in the Lunas Sisters series. While the pacing was challenging for me at times (I wish the marriage of convenience had happened sooner in the narrative, and I struggled with this extra slow, slow-burn), the sisters were a delight. I felt so much kinship to Ana Maria as a fellow older sister - always conscientious of parental expectations, hesitant to admit inexperience or self-doubt, and far more sheltered to the realities of the world than our younger siblings. Gideon was a perfectly starchy hero, and I love a man who is immediately devoted to his wife. I am anxious to read Isabel's story next!
