This is a re-read, my original review of this book can be found here. The book can be read on its own, but works better if you’ve read at least The Heiress Effect. The final book in a trilogy is always supposed to be about the most complicated of the characters, right? As it turns out, this wasn’t actually the final book in the series, as the novella Ms Milan intended for Free Marshall turned into a fourth novel, but this is nevertheless the book and the […]
I Deserve a Slow Falling in Love.
As a cherry on the sundae of a wonderful week, I received an advance reader copy of After the Wedding by Courtney Milan, in exchange for an honest review. I can say honestly that I love it. I love Camilla and Adrian. Happily ever after is built into the genre, it is a given. We know before we open the book that Camilla and Adrian will fall in love. The joy of reading Romance is seeing exactly how the author takes us down this familiar path. […]
In Romance, You Can Face Reality and Still Have a Happy Ending
Once Upon a Marquess came out a couple of years ago to high expectations and was received with some disappointment. It was still a Milan, so it was still better than your average Romance, but it lacked the ease of her previous books. I am glad that I opted to reread it in anticipation of the forthcoming After the Wedding. Without the weight of expectation and with the context of some of the issues with which the author has struggled, it was a much better read. […]
Trying to avoid marriage by all means possible
This is my first re-read of this book (as it was my least favourite of The Brothers Sinister series). My original review can be found here. When I first read this book, I had very high expectations, because I always do when reading a Courtney Milan novel. They are more often than not little masterpieces, that utterly transport me away and make me feel all the feels. Oliver Marshall is a good supporting character in The Duchess War, but disappointed me as a hero in his own story. He does […]
Standing your ground can have unexpected consequences
Serena Barton was a governess until she was fired without references. She wants the duke who is responsible to fork out suitable compensation and intends to sit on a park bench immediately outside his house until she is given her due. If that takes days or even weeks, she’s nevertheless determined to persevere. The duke of Clermont doesn’t want to deal with Ms Barton, as he is currently trying to figure out a way to get his duchess back. Without his wealthy wife happy, the […]
Yup, still holds up
This is a re-read, and my original review for this book can be found here. As with the other Milans I’ve been revisiting, I wanted to listen to this in audio, but discovered, to my dismay that it wasn’t narrated by Polly Lee, who did the first two books in The Turner series, but Nicole Quinn, whose voice just did NOT work for me. I tried to warm to her throughout the first chapter, but gave up and returned the audio. Unraveled is my favourite book in this trilogy […]
