Heart plus heat! Took a while for me to get into, but this book is super spicy and the 3rd act break up and reunion are super emotional. Manuela’s growth is exceptional (thankfully… because I found her annoying in the first half of the book). 

2nd in a series, but can easily be read as a stand alone. 

Also, the historical aspects of the Paris exposition, artists, and Sapphic lifestyles of the time are fascinating!
