What a wonderful wrap up to Las Leonas. I thought it would be difficult for Adriana to top Manuela's book but I was so so excited about Apollo and Aurora. And to start the book the way she did?! Apollo is MESSED UP for her. He said "Aurora or no one" and I absolutely love love love that. 

Adriana has a way of making you get caught up in a beautiful story while wanting to pause to google the amazing history she brings in. She talks about real historical issues like medical and reproductive care for women while giving you an unbelievably swoony hero. I loved how Aurora and Apollo grew together - fell in love despite themselves. It was beautiful to watch.
