Honestly, I think this is my favorite Historical Romance I've read by far. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Alexis Hall's writing in this story is phenomenal. I enjoyed pretty much all of the character interactions whether it be serious or more lighthearted.

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.
