Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an eARC to read for review! 

A Lady for A Duke made me stop and clutch my chest while staring at my roof squealing all giddy, multiple times. The Trans & lgbtq+ rep in here was so beautifully done, & multiple quotes in here about trans-ness brought tears to my eyes. The slow burn yearning in this book 👀👀👀 y’all aren’t ready!!!! 

My only issue with this book is that at times it felt quite long and repetitive, and there was a subplot centred around the sister of the love interest that I almost wish did not occur?? I would have loved if that time was spent on the main 2 characters, or just chopped down to less because not enough character building happened with her to make me invested in her story. However, her character did remind me a tad of Eloise from Bridgerton & a potential sequel/spin-off around her could be interesting!!
