Such a fun nontraditional historical romance that incorporates the women’s suffrage movement. Not a trope I love (forbidden love with a definite imbalance of power) but told in a really thoughtful way. The female lead is so strong willed and intelligent. There is such good mutual pining in this one, and the two leads just make so much sense for each other. I wish we had gotten a bit more time for the characters to get to know each other better since a lot of their connection relied on their physical attraction (plus the male lead was a bit too overbearing) but still such a great one. 🫂👥👸🏼⚖️📈🗝🌧

This was an entertaining read but I got tired of the back and forth “will they end up together or not” by the end of the book. I found Annabelle a bit annoying as well. I was much more interested in her suffragette friends to be honest.

I liked this book a lot but I thought the resolution was kind of strange. I enjoyed the FMC and her suffragette friends but the Duke was a little bit meh for me. Halfway through I would have given this a higher rating but as it came to conclusion it was a little less exciting. I loved that he caused his own scandal so that he could marry her, but I wasn't entirely bought in, I guess. I loved the writing and will probably try another one of the series.
