A forbidden love between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician makes for a tantalizing Victorian season.

 
Ana María Luna Valdés has strived to be the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, and the perfect representative of the powerful Luna family. So when Ana María is secretly sent to London with her sisters to seek refuge from the French occupation of Mexico, she experiences her first taste of freedom far from the judgmental eyes of her domineering father. If only she could ignore the piercing looks she receives across ballroom floors from the austere Mr. Fox.
 
Gideon Fox elevated himself from the London gutters by chasing his burning desire for more: more opportunities, more choices. For everyone. Now, as a member of Parliament, Gideon is on the cusp of securing the votes he needs to put forth a measure to abolish the Atlantic slave trade once and for allâ??a cause that is close to his heart as the grandson of a formerly enslaved woman. The charmingly vexing Ana María is a distraction he must ignore.
 
But when Ana María finds herself in the crosshairs of a nefarious nobleman with his own political agenda, Gideon knows he must offer his hand as protection . . . but will this Mexican heiress win

If I wanted a lecture on how bad Europeans are for colonizing, I would log in to social media, not pick up a book.

This did not disappoint! I knew nothing of the Mexican invasion by the French or the subsequent migration to England of people fleeing the conflict so learning about it through the Luna sisters was great. And Fox's origin story, featuring a slave ancestor who fled on a freighter headed to England, was something I hadn't even considered but of course makes sense. Why would the Underground Railroad only use overland routes? I love how more diversity in historical romance is introducing me to all this stories I've never heard.

As for the romance itself, I so felt Ana Maria, being an oldest daughter myself. Loved how they danced around each other while coming to truly respect each other's strengths, both being genuinely compassionate people. My favourite kind of pairing. Also loved the relationships revolving around the two and see where the next two books are going. Can't wait to read their stories! ( )

I live and breathe romance novels. I love them. Specially Historical Romance, they are the very air I breathe. I adore them, without a doubt!

This one was downright a pitiful excuse for a Historical Romance novel.

The absence of historical contextualization and the lack of character evolution made it fall short.

Character evolution is a big deal for me when it comes to a good romance novel, and this book fell very short. The characters didn't seem to grow or change in a way that drew me into their journey. I was left wanting more depth and connection, which unfortunately never materialized.

I am not picky when it comes to cheesy, or smut, or even the most outlandish, or dark/questionable love stories.. this one had simply - nothing. -

Overall, it was a letdown and a waste of time.
I only finished it because it's very difficult to stop a book once I've started, but this should easily go on a DNR or DNF. ( )

This was the first victorian/regency romance I've ever read, and I think the genre is not for me. The cover art is really spectacular though. ( )
