Isabel and the Rogue is an action-packed historical romance

Liana De la Rosa captured my heart when she released Ana Maria and the Fox. That’s why I knew I had to review Isabel and the Rogue.

While Liana De la Rosa has a massive backlist, these books are part of her Luna Sisters series which is being published by Berkley. The first one was Ana Maria and the Fox which was a spellbinding marriage-of-convenience romance.

Heading into Isabel and the Rogue, I was frankly a little bit nervous. Isabel is the wallflower of the group and as shared in the author’s note, even Liana didn’t know what to do with her. Even so, it truly worked out for the best as this book was so fun.

I’d like to thank Berkley for sending me an ARC so I could read this one early as it helped with my reading slump.

Isabel and the Rogue is an action-packed romance you’ll adore.

Of course, I should known better than to be nervous as Liana De la Rosa captivated me with her last release. Even so, I started Isabel and the Rogue with no idea of what to expect and it ended up making me love this story.

This time, we’re following middle-sister Isabel who feels invisible yet she’s using it to her advantage to help her home country of Mexico. While the war is going on, she’s trying to get as much intel as she can. Of course, she’s not being as sneaky as she hoped as Captain Sirius Dawson finds out and immediately wants to help.

Isabel is reluctant at first as she feels constantly overshadowed and there’s always that simmering layer of tension between the two. While they try to fight it, it’s obvious they’re meant to be. I truly could not put this book down as we’re following these two sneaking around to find intel while also trying to ignore just how strong their feelings are and it’s a delight.

What made me love the book most though was the grand-gesture at the end. I don’t want to give too much away but I felt like my heart was going to rip out of my chest. Once you read it and find out what it is, it will truly make you fall in love with these two and their story. If anything, it gets me even more excited about Gabby’s book which is hopefully next.

Whether you’re craving a good historical or just need something to escape into, Isabel and the Rogue is the perfect romance to kickstart your summer reading.
