The author gives further context and his own spoiler warnings within the book itself. Despite the fact the heroine is sometimes deadnamed, it is purely because people knew her before she transitioned (and they do not know that she has done so). It is never weaponised against her. The male love interest is disabled from the Napoleonic War and suffers with PTSD, using alcohol and laundenaum as coping mechanisms.

Such a sweet romance! I loved Viola so much and I wanted all of the wonderful things for her! Highly recommend if you're into historical romance- or maybe even if you're not, it might be a nice foray into the genre.

RTC! Five stars for the absolutely stellar premise and characters, three stars for the long-winded, unnecessarily extensive descriptions. And two stars for all the typos?? (please hire me as your copy editor, thanks !!)

Mixed feelings about this one, mostly positive though! I thought the writing was clunky and repetitive but I still couldn't put it down. The characters were excellent, I don't want to say *especially* the side characters but I would love to see some spinoffs. If historical romance is a genre you like and you want to read about a trans protagonist, definitely give this book a try!
