Minor spoilers ahead, as it relates to the “sexual assault” tag. The incident is described very briefly, with the aim of preparing any readers who wish to be informed before engaging with the book.

A supporting male character attempts to kiss the main character against her will. Instead, the MC stomps on his foot with great force—potentially injuring the male character—and successfully escapes his advances.

Despite my middling rating, I do believe that this series is a really good starter for those looking to foray into historical romance. Both of our main characters are deeply interesting and play off one another very well, and there's the right amount of pining and wit. I wish they weren't closed door, but I understand not all authors feel comfortable writing those scenes. That and the slow pacing to reveal the final conflict (I guessed both twists before the 40% marking which made things quite frustrating) keep this from a higher start ranking for me personally.
