When the Marquess Was Mine

The chemistry between the characters was lovely, but I wondered if the story followed familiar beats. Did the emotional payoff make up for the predictability?

The depiction of social class and duty felt very detailed — I’m curious whether this was based on personal research or a creative choice to highlight certain contrasts.

The historical backdrop added so much flavor, but I wonder if the author chose it for its romantic appeal or if there were specific themes they wanted to explore through this time period.
