La face cachée du duc de Basingstoke

The Regency period offers such rich social dynamics and manners — I wonder what drew the author to explore this setting and how it shaped the characters' choices.

The slow burn and underlying conflicts made their connection feel genuine, but I’m curious if others found the pacing of their development satisfying.

There were moments of lighthearted banter alongside serious emotional reveals. Did anyone else notice how this kept the story engaging without feeling uneven?
