Aurora does not have time for needing men certainly not a meddling Duke who won’t leave her alone. So whatever if he helps her out, teaches her self defense and offers her a building for her clinic... it doesn’t mean anything. Besides he needs to be off finding himself a suitable wife and that just isn’t her. But maybe a little fun can’t hurt right? Not if Apollo has anything to say about it he doesn’t just want a little fun he wants his doctura and he will do whatever it takes to make her his duchess. And he won’t be letting her out of site with her medical work gets her in a bad situation.

I loved Aurora and Apollo... I got why she was so resistant to him but I’m just over here like just say yes to the man why not? But of course Aurora is obviously more sensible than I am. I wanted to read this series but never got around to it until I got an arc for this book so I read them out of order 3, 1 and then 2. It didn’t really change much reading it that way I mean I knew the couples were going to get together it’s just the different paths to get there in each book.

Apollo quickly became my favorite of the love interests in this series. There were multiple times where an author might’ve used the miscommunication trope but each time Apollo was like, “nah, I see what’s happening here.” Although there were instances where he doubted that he was worthy of Aurora’s love, he always knew she did nevertheless love him and his love for her never wavered. 
This love story takes place in a time where women weren’t allowed much autonomy and Aurora was out there doing what she could to mitigate that. 
The story was well researched and educational while also being hot and steamy.  This is the 3rd book in the Leonas series. I have read them all. I am not sure if a 4th forthcoming. If there is I will read immediately.

I love the amount of research that goes into this series. If you're looking for a historical romance book/series this is it! However, I would truly appreciate the author retiring the word demented from their vocabulary as it is a derogatory word for people with dementia.
