La brute apprivoisée

The rich historical details added depth to the romance, but I wonder if the setting was born out of personal interest or research. Did the era influence the characters' choices significantly?

The tension felt very real, especially with the themes of control and consent. How did others interpret the portrayal of their relationship — empowering or problematic?

The story weaves romance seamlessly with history, but I’m curious whether it was a conscious choice to prioritize one over the other or if they developed together during writing.
