The Duke Next Door

The detailed social dynamics and historical backdrop really brought the story to life. I wonder if the author did extensive research or if it grew from personal fascination.

I loved the build-up between the characters, but at times I wondered if the story moved a bit quickly toward the end. Was that intentional to keep the pace lively?

Balancing accuracy with storytelling is so tricky—I’d love to know what guided the choices around historical accuracy versus narrative flow.
