Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this book. What a joy to listen to. The romance was so sweet, sweet and more sweet. I would recommend this book. I haven’t read a story like this before and I am so pleased that I chose to!
It made me smile, coo and chuckle with its humour. It’s a story that I would never have imagined in this time line and it made me incredibly happy to imagine love prevailing like this, in this time.

My low score is more based on my enjoyment than the quality of the book.
For the right reader I think this book would be a delight but I think the genre and simplicity of the story didnt work for me. I need multiple plots points going on at once if there’s so much introspection going on lol
Good queer rep and hope the author produces more along this line as it seems to really resonate with the majority.

Really sweet and romantic but I feel like it could’ve been like half the length. BUT THE EPILOGUE MADE IT ALL WORTH IT I LOVE THEM

A Lady for a Duke had so much sweetness, longing, and moments of vulnerability within its pages. The first half of the book had me crying like every other chapter. I adored the care put into Viola and Gracewood, their relationship to one another, and their relationships with their family. And god what a great twist to the childhood friends to lovers trope, it had me on my toes.
A small part of me wished for more from the second half of the book, since the romantic in me wanted more sweet moments between Viola and Gracewood. It just all felt a tad too fast for me, but damn was I still hooked. The book was easy to read and become invested in!

Okay, primero que nada permítanme decir: ASDGDGJFKLJFJLDLDÑSGSIKSL
Qué belleza de libro, qué belleza de protagonistas, de personajes secundarios, qué belleza de TODO.
Las novelas de romance de época en las que mandan muy lejos esa idea de que los personajes queer no pueden ser felices porque "no es realista" tienen todo mi amor por siempre.
Qué feliz me hizo este libro, amo todo. Y el epílogo, no, no, no, el epílogo fue una cosa bien preciosa, le quiero llorar mil años.

I'm giving this 4 stars, but very begrudgingly because it was so fucking long. If it was like 100 pages shorter, I would have eaten it up in one sitting instead of needing to take a year-long break in the middle of it.
The characters were loveable and I didn't have an issue with the plot, but Gracewood and Viola could be exhaustingly repetitive in their thoughts. Although a part of me feels like some of the emotion this was suppose to build could have been shown much more efficiently in a flashback (of their friendship, or in the war, or Viola coming home).
