Writing Style?
Many mistakes... They / the, redundant words... Stopped the flow a bit.
Plot?
The whole timeframe was off. She talks about weeks of courtship but they only have two weeks to pay their debt? How is that possible?
The , of course, the whole premise makes no sense at all. We don't even know what title our heroine's dad has. And why would the Duke marry someone without any means?
The Interactions between the characters? Not authentic. The writing style didn't let me feel anything.
Also, there are no servants. None. It is not historically accurate. I mean think about propriety. They are alone in the Duke's mansion several times. She has no maid, he also doesn't seem to have anyone employed.
Oh yeah, and there are no friends. And no dinners or other obligations...
The ending was way too abrupt.
MCs?
She complains that he is haughty and aloof. She doesn't really talk to him either cause she is prejudiced. Both their faults, I'd say.
I don't get the chemistry between them. For me, it didn't make any sense when they admitted they had fallen for each other. None at all.
