Ana María and her sisters have fled Mexico during the French occupation. Because their father is a Mexican political advisor, it's important that no one knows their true identity. Ana María meets Gideon Fox, a member of Parliament determined to end the slave trade. The two circle each other for months, knowing that their relationship could lead to major complications for the both of them.
Ana María and the Fox is a really unique historical romance and I loved how diverse its characters were. It was a little lighter on steam and heavier on politics than I anticipated, which is okay because I was not crazy about how the eventual ~love scene~ was written - I kind of wished it was just a fade to black instead 😬
The real winning element for me was the Luna sisters and their character development. Their growth felt natural as they learned to be independent thinkers now that they have some distance from their family in Mexico. I enjoyed Gabby the most, and her relationship to their chaperone Lady Yardley, so I’m hoping that comes back in a future story.
Thanks to Berkley for the advanced e-book!
