Thank you to BiblioLifestyle, Kensington, and the author for the gifted copy of The Spanish Daughter! All opinions in this review are my own.
When Puri learns that she inherited a portion of her father's cacao plantation in Ecuador, she sells her chocolate shop in Sevilla and travels across the ocean to claim it. On the voyage, an assassin accidentally kills Puri's husband when aiming for her. Now in a new country, Puri impersonates her husband in order to learn who is trying to take her inheritance.
The Spanish Daughter was phenomenal! I have been having a hard time getting into historical fiction lately, but The Spanish Daughter immediately grabbed my attention. I read it over the course of a weekend because I couldn't put it down! As the story progresses, more and more secrets are revealed. The short chapters made it easy to say "okay, just one more chapter" and then you've suddenly read another 50 pages. I cannot recommend it enough!
