SANCHEZ??? Are you for real? There were never ever any dukes with the family name Sanchez. BTW, during the Regency Period, there was a 9-year war between the English & Spanish, and the Spanish were not only political and economic enemies of England, but the two nations were involved in numerous conflicts between their ships on the high seas. True, there are ONLY 30 dukedoms in UK currently, but surely you can come up with story-appropriate (and culturally appropriate) new names of dukes to fit the tale. P.S. Alexei is a Russian name. It is also an unlikely first name for an English duke.
His name is so not right for the period the story takes place in! He has a Russian first name and a Spanish surname! Did DEI enter the world of these stories too?! If so, get rid of it! The story is beautiful tho. 🙂
