The Dreadful Duke

The layers of his character added depth to the story, and I’m curious whether this backstory was planned from the start or developed during writing.

His redemption arc was compelling, but some actions made me wonder if he truly deserved a second chance. How did others interpret his character development?

The book had some lighthearted moments that made the romance feel genuine, but I also appreciated the more poignant scenes. Was this balance intentional to reflect the characters' growth?
