This is the second book in the Girl Meets Duke series and IMO the best one (I can say that now that I've read all three that are out so far). It's not really enemies-to-lovers, more like 'we really don't like each other and don't want to spent time together to oops we might be attracted to each other, to oh no we kissed and are now falling in love'.
But I really enjoyed the dynamic between Alexandra and Chase, their snappy dialogue was great fun and the development of their romance was believable. There's also a little bit of hurt/comfort in this book, which I'm a sucker for. The plot, narrative, character progression and romantic tension all came together brilliantly to make this a really enjoyable romp.
Content warnings for death of a parent, panic attacks, grief, violence, period-type sexism.
Moderate: Death of parent, Grief, and Panic attacks/disorders
Minor: Sexism and Violence
