A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera
4.0
emotional informative tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was definitely my favorite of the trilogy, Aurora & Apollo have been simmering through the previous two books and seeing them collide finally is wonderfully satisfying. Herrera’s pacing has improved over the course of the series as well, although listening was still a bit slow, not sure if that would have been better with eyes. Aurora’s plot with her family hit all my feels, but there were just a few too many villains/wildcards running around by the end here. As for the audio, we’ve changed narrators (probably since both MCs are American?) and Frankie Corzo does a fine job, but I found her voices a bit lacking & her English/Scottish accents were rough.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ALC to review.
