Arroyo Blanco, 1911. When Emilia Cruz agreed to accompany her sister to a boating party, she had no idea that the darling of the literary world would be in assistance—or that he would take such pleasure in disparaging the deliciously sinful serial she writes under a pseudonym. No one save her sister knows she’s the author and to be found out would mean certain scandal. Stuck on his long-awaited second book, Ruben Torres has begun to edit in secret a gossip paper whose literary reviews are as cruel as they are clever. The more he writes about the mysterious author of a popular serial, the more papers he sells…and the more he is determined to find out her identity before anyone else can.

Set in fictional Arroyo Blanco, an island in the Spanish Caribbean in 1911. Emilia Cruz is a writer and typist, also writing a scandalous serial under a pen name. Ruben Torres is a visiting writer, also publishing scathing book reviews under a pseudonym. They bicker and banter and end up under water a few times. They eventually make uneasy friends then lovers.
I enjoyed the setting in the HOT Caribbean summer for a historical romance. The story was great. I didn’t catch the Pride & Prejudice similarly until Ruben tries keeping his best friend and Emilia’s sister apart, but it was a delightful surprise.
