L'adorabile tenebroso

The book feels both romantic and lighthearted, but I wonder what choices influenced the tone. Was it intentional to keep it breezy despite the emotional stakes?

The tension between characters from different backgrounds was interesting, but I found myself wishing some scenes moved faster. How did others feel about this balance?

The Regency era feels so vivid and immersive. I'm curious if the author was inspired by real events, personal experiences, or a love for that historical period.
