Enemies to lovers for a short curvy redhead and a hot muscular duke. Pure fluff, but scratches that historical romance itch!

Loved:

• A curvy heroine
• The focus on educated women still having an impact in history
• The heartbreak for Stella never wanting to be the second choice

Meh:

• Silvester should have done more - like come on dude you clearly are interested with her and yet you’re not showing it at all

Disliked:

• She’s a curvy, freckled, short redhead. Why does the cover for the book look like a skinny tall girl with perfect skin? Not the author’s fault I’m guessing, but do better Avon
• I wanted more time with them actually in love. Just an epilogue wasn’t enough
