Childhood friends to lovers historical romance with trans heroine and disabled hero. This book was beautiful. It’s the only word that fits. The story is beautiful, the characters are beautiful, their love is beautiful, and the epilogue is beautiful. It’s got sorrowful moments and silly moments, but all-in-all, it’s a beauty to read and experience.

Thanks to Forever for the free advance copy of this book.

 - Oh, my heart. A LADY FOR A DUKE is one of the best romance novels I've ever read. It's full of the best banter and the deepest feelings, and it's so fantastically queer.
- I absolutely adore that while Viola is of course worried about transphobia, it's not the entire plot of the book. Everyone she comes out to accepts her fully and without question, smoothly using her correct name and pronouns while working to give her the support she needs.
- Viola and Gracewood are the sweetest pair, each helping each other understand and deal with their traumas, untangle their feelings, and love each other wholly.
