Cait & Court's Cozy Corner: Romance ReadersLet's Talk About: A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana HerreraIt's Black History month and we wanted to make a point of highlighting a Black romance author. So we picked "A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke" which was on the NYPL's best of 2025 list; won the "Book I'm Still Thinking About" award at the 2025 Bookish Awards; and was an instant bestseller. It is that good! We get spice right away and a rewarding history lesson. The Duke is seriously hot and Aurora is the sassy rebel we all desire to be--this woman has gumption in spades.
