This is my second book in the genre and I don’t think it’s for me. So take the rest of this review with that in mind.
I found the main character a bit hard to stomach at times - she was a bit of a cartoon version of a character.
I found the characters and plot more compelling and the writing more delicious in ‘The Hacienda’ by Isabel Canas.
