Thank you for reading! And I did in fact write those books for Dominicana readers first and foremost!

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.

Thank you!💜

It’s starting to give @fridging without a dead body” and if that’s your bag, go awf, but what is the need to call it romance?

I’m a trauma therapist and also a romance author and have some theories! And would also love an in depth analysis of this.

💜💜 I could not have finished this book without you!

Thank you so much for reading and for this! It made my day!

Thank you!🥰

This is the best compliment…I never knew I needed lol!🥰

This was extremely timely and clear headed then and somehow even more appropriate now!

I’ve revisited this Atwood quote a lot as I’ve tried to make sense of the current romance landscape…

It’s so hard to put down the urge to make people see “we’re good and smart” but being able to mess up and still get everything is so much better.

The Leonas are best friends from finishing school 😉 but thank you for the shout out!😊
