A Caribbean Heiress in Paris
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
"A romp-filled and refreshingly diverse historical romance."—Buzzfeed
Paris, 1889
The Exposition Universelle is underway, drawing merchants from every corner of the globe...including Luz Alana Heith-Benzan, heiress to the Caña Brava rum empire.
Luz Alana set sail from Santo Domingo armed with three hundred casks of rum, her two best friends and one simple rule: under no circumstances is she to fall in love. In the City of Lights, she intends to expand the rum business her family built over three generations, but buyers and shippers alike can't imagine doing business with a woman...never mind a woman of color. This, paired with being denied access to her inheritance unless she marries, leaves the heiress in a very precarious position.
Enter James Evanston Sinclair, Earl of Darnick, who has spent a decade looking for purpose outside of his father's dirty money and dirtier dealings. Ignoring his title, he's built a whisky brand that's his biggest—and only—passion. That is, until he's confronted with a Spanish-speaking force of nature who turns his life upside down.
From their first tempestuous meeting, Luz Alana is conflicted. Why is this titled—and infuriatingly charming—Scottish man so determined to help her?
For Evan, every day with Luz Alana makes him yearn for more than her ardent kisses or the marriage of convenience that might save them both. But Luz Alana sailed for Paris prepared to build her business and her future; what she wasn't prepared for was love finding her.
"Herrera excels at propelling the romance genre and its form forward, and this book is no exception... Herrera is crafting swoony historical romances that aren't afraid to engage with the realities of the 19th-century while still making a bid for hard-earned happily-ever-afters."—Entertainment Weekly

- content: Traveling from the Caribbean to Paris, Luz Alanda hopes to sell her family's rum at the 1900 Exposition Universelle before heading to Scotland to secure her trust fund. Sparks fly when she meets fellow liquor purveyor Even Sinclair, Earl of Darnick, serendipity that leads the duo to a beneficial arrangement. Narrating the first in a new historical romance series, Nneka Okoye showcases her ability to capture the nuances of characters' personalities. By using a variety of distinctive accents, some rapidly changing during fast-paced conversations, Okoye engages the listener. Through her subtle use of tone, she conveys the unconventional protagonists' wide range of emotions. Okoye's narration makes for a production that is sure to entertain.

When Luz Alana Heith-Benzan, her two best friends, and 300 barrels of rum land in Paris to attend the 1899 Exposition Universelle, the only rule is to not fall in love. Luz Alana must secure the future of Ca�a Brava, her family's rum distillery, especially now that her father has unexpectedly passed away and her trust fund is locked until she marries. Luz Alana knew she would encounter difficulties as a woman from the Dominican Republic, but the rudeness and animosity from the buyers and shippers she's hoping to secure foil even her most earnest attempts to engage their business. But James Evanston Sinclair, Earl of Darnick, finds himself enamored of her. He proposes a marriage of convenience to secure barrels for his whisky business and for Luz Alana to get her inheritance. Alas, the inconvenience of love threatens to overturn all of James and Luz Alana's plans. Narrator Nneka Okoye deftly brings the large and diverse cast of characters, from James's Scottish growls to Luz Alana's convictions, all to life. VERDICT A captivating start to the "Las L�onas" series. With its allusions to Austen and the historical romance canon, this is a perfect audio experience for those who enjoy Lisa Kleypas's "The Wallflowers" series.--Elizabeth Gabriel
