6. Read a 2025 release by a BIPOC author. @adrianaherrera.bsky.social’s A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke was a stellar end to Las Leonas trilogy and a well-researched historical romance that centered women’s repro health in 1889. Can’t wait to see what Adriana writes next.

Happy pub day to this literary masterpiece! @adrianaherrera.bsky.social thank you for writing a book that not only taught me about reproductive justice and colonialism but was also incredibly romantic and sexy #romancelandia #booksky #historicalromance #romancebooks

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Happy Pub Day to @adrianaherrera.bsky.social! A Tropical Rebel gets the Duke is unapologetically feminist and a balm for our time. #booksky #blackbooksky #newbooks #bookreviews #books

Book Cover for A Tropical Rebel Gets The Duke by Adriana Herrera in the center. The book is purple with a golden frame and lavender around the title. A dark-skinned black woman stands in a yellow dress as she gazes up at a light brown-skinned man in a dark suit. They hold each other. Below the title is a small skyline of Paris. Along the sides of the book cover, purple text over a yellow background reads: BOOK REVIEW. @BOOKISH_AFROLATINA.

The same as Image 1 but the book cover is darkened with the book review text over it in black and white: This is now my favorite book of the Leonas series & absolutely one of my favorite reads of 2025 already!! Adriana Herrera brings us an amazingly smart & resilient heroine finding the love she deserves with a head-strong, passionate, and dedicated man who will never stop fighting systems of oppression.

Aurora's background hit me hard & I related a lot to her feelings of abandonment and shame. Something that brought me a lot of joy was the way Herrera showed the truth about being a Black woman, forced to put up a shield and take any hits that come our way; we need tenderness and care and love. We deserve to be adored, too.

The chemistry between Aurora and Apollo is off the charts!! These two can't keep their hands off of each other. I think that this is probably the most explicit of the three books, too, but I might reread them all just to make sure!

Two Things: 1. I wanted to write an abortion story where the heroine does not regret her decision, gets her HEA & I could show the trauma that comes from LACK OF ACCESS to reproductive health. 2. I wouldn’t have finished this book w/o @jenreadsromance.bsky.social sage advice. Best eye in romance!
