4.0

An incredibly well-written, beautiful childhood friends to lovers historical romance. Alexis Hall transports you back in time...you're on the horses, you're in the carriages, you're at the fancy balls with extravagant dresses. 

A love story filled with friendship, love and acceptance - everything that Viola and Gracewood deserve. 

The best part is in the depth of Viola and Gracewood characters outside their physical appearance. On the surface, she's an incredibly strong trans heroine and he's a soldier with a disability but the way they stand out on their own and love and support each other was so truly wonderful to read.

The only downside was the sheer length of the book, but other than that, a very enjoyable read.
