Calling all fans of Bridgerton-- this historical romance is for YOU! I loved this 19th century romance set in England. Our FMC, Annabelle, is such a badass woman for her time. I loved her and her friends, and the Duke of Montgomery is such a dreamy man (for the times). I liked how this book centered around the suffrage movement in England and the feminism of the time. For me, the steam was a bit relaxed, but I still enjoyed it! This didn't quite hit five stars for me because the Duke was verrryyy dramatic and misogynistic. I get it, it was the theme at that time, but damn-- this guy was an asshole! Especially to his brother! Overall it was a great read and I will be continuing the series!
