I’m not much of a historical romance girlie (I usually find them clunky and hard to dive into) but I do enjoy Adriana Herrera’s Las Leonas series. I feel like this series could make for a cool adaptation. I liked Manuela and Cora, while very different they both were women you rooted for. You wanted them to find themselves and choose the life that actually would make them happy (as individuals and together!). Honorable mention to the fun interesting historical tidbits like the labor organizing of artists! I think this book is a solid romance and would recommend it for those wanting to branch out into historical romances. I am excited for book 3 because we love a historical enemies to lovers vibe!
