He's not like other dukes… Paris, 1889 Physician Aurora Montalban Wright takes risks in her career, but never with her heart. Running an underground women’s clinic exposes her to certain dangers, but help arrives in the unexpected form of the infuriating Duke of Annan. Aurora begrudgingly accepts his protection, then promptly finds herself in his bed. New to his role as a duke, Apollo César Sinclair Robles struggles to embrace his position. With half of society waiting for him to misstep and the other half looking to discredit him, Apollo never imagined that his enthralling bedmate would become his most trusted adviser. Soon, he realizes the rebellious doctor could be the perfect duchess. But Aurora won’t give up her independence, and her secrets make her unsuitable for the aristocracy. When a dangerous figure from their past returns to threaten them, Apollo whisks Aurora away to his villa in the French Riviera. Far from the reproachful eye of Parisian society, can Apollo convince Aurora that their bond is stronger than the forces keeping them apart? Can't get enough of the Las Leonas? Book 1: A Caribbean Heiress in Paris Book 2: An Island Princess Starts a Scandal Book 3: A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke

A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera

As I put down my copy of A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke, I am left breathless by an epic love story. My spine is stronger and straighter as well because of the courage of these two main characters.

A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke is the third and final installment of Las Leonas series. I have reviewed A Caribbean Heiress in Paris, as well as An Island Princess Starts a Scandal previously. All astounding and empowering love stories, but I must say this final Leona, will probably mark me for years and years to come.


The Premise

Aurora is a physician and it’s 1889 in Paris. She is taking a huge risk by running an underground women’s clinic, but her heart and drive to help women is unrelenting, damned be the risks. Out of the three Leona besties she seems like the quiet one, but I had no idea the depths of her intelligence and passion.

Insert Apollo who is new to becoming a duke, he is finding out how to navigate the politics and the ton. He is instantly drawn to Aurora and the full SIMP is activated. When I say SIMP I also mean fierce protector, he soon finds out about her secret services and will not take “no” for an answer to his offer of protection.

Whether Apollo wins in his pursuit to be around Aurora, or Aurora melting over Apollo’s dirty promises. These two are like magnets that once we get contact the electricity is core shattering.

Historical Romance Magic

All the smart, funny, and witty banter of not only Apollo and Aurora, but all of the Leonas. I was kicking my feet when the besties were in the same room, calling each other out or pressing for juicy details.

The political aspects and the fiercely progressive feminism in A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke is such a jolt of life and sparks such motivation for me. Adriana ALWAYS paints a beautiful and deeply diverse cast.

This is Adriana Herrera’s most DYNAMIC COUPLE to date! Apollo has my heart forever, he may just take the best book-boyfriend award for 2025.

Brava to A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera. This beautiful historical romance is the breath of life and passion that all readers need right now.
