Forbidden love Luxe 1 ISBN: 4072616575 (2009)

The focus on social standing and appearances really drives the story, but I wondered if it sometimes overshadowed character growth. Did others feel this too?

The lavish details and social dynamics really bring the era to life. I'm curious whether the setting was based on real history or purely fictional.

The plot is full of twists and secrets, but I’m wondering if the tone is intentionally light and fun or if it’s meant to be more serious underneath.
