review 1: I'd heard this was the weakest of the series, but I thought it was rather adorable and quite enjoyed myself. (Perhaps moreso than I normally would have, as I just got finished reading a rather dreadful old school 80s romance novel that was just blaaaaahhh.) This was a nice palate...

review 1: I really wanted to liked this book. I was so excited when I first read the premise: it's about a black, glasses-wearing mathematician named Rose and her Irish, promiscuous, feminist boyfriend. I WAS REALLY READY TO READ MY OWN ENJOYMENT INTO IT. But alas, it just didn't quite wor...

review 1: This was really nothing but a fluff fest. I was disappointed that there wasn't much plot to this story. It just plunged through quickly with no real character development or story line development. Luckily this was an amazon freebie so I didn't waste money on it. I've heard bette...

review 1: Courtney Milan is a really top notch writing. As far as storytelling goes, she's fantastic and this a 4-star read. I had some hesitation with some of the historical stuff, which is partly because this is an era I know a lot about (my MA thesis was about a woman who pushed social ...

review 1: A cute story that was about as long as it reasonably could be. I loved that Jonas admitted (at least to himself) that the whole reason he wanted a wife is so he could have sex regularly without fear of disease! Such pragmatism - I'm not sure if it should be rewarded or not. In an...

review 1: Another of Milan's novellas that is definitely a good quality story, but just wasn't to my tastes. I dislike the kind of stories that are uncomfortably angsty - particularly when two people who are in love are separated for many years because of some misunderstanding, issue or s...

review 1: I really liked this novel. I was immediately in love with Minnie. Demure to some, but with and intelligence that not many saw. Hiding from a past that she saw as horrific, she fell into the lab of Robert, the Duke. I had read the Governess affair. This novel helped to give some ...

review 1: Loved the relationship between the hero & heroine and the relationships they had with their siblings. I also have a younger sister named Emily, so those moments were very touching to me - you want to protect them and keep them safe, but sometimes it's hard to realize that they ar...

review 1: Me ha gustado mucho, aunque no tanto como los dos primeros de la saga. Una vez más la autora sorprende por su originalidad y el carácter tan personal que le da a sus personajes. Mujeres imperfectas a la vista pero con un temple exquisito y una determinación suprema. Hombres poder...

review 1: An odd collection of stories that all have a connnection to an old English country house called Doyle's Grange. Sherry Thomas' story is the best of the 3, but not nearly as good as her full-length books. It is also hard to suspend disbelief that the hero of the story looks almost...

review 1: One of the parts I love about Victorian romance is how it is filtered through the lens of the rapidly industrializing West, and reads a lot like a view of the contemporary world, post-digital boom: people scrambling to make sense of life, to understand their values and place in t...

review 1: So, it's entirely possible that I'm just getting burnt out on the romances, and that this book is a bit better than I can rate it. But here's the deal: everything happens too easily, and there's no sexual tension. The characters are underdeveloped, there aren't any real obstacle...

review 1: Really enjoyable read - loved the heroine and her self possession, book made me laugh and the story was interesting and original. Some of the Regency details I felt were off - the daughter of a Duke is not going to be 'ruined' by being caught alone with a man. Sorry, but her dowr...

review 1: Not going to rate it as it is just a scene really explaining the animosity between the two families.I think this is more a little something to whet our appetite of smite, though there is not enough of him in the first book for me to feel one way or another. Like a lot other reade...

review 1: I would like a box of exclamation points for this book. Again, Milan does not play it safe or create stereotypical characters. Edward and Free are both obstinate, and love each other precisely for that reason. After feeling lackluster about the The Countess Conspiracy, Milan once...

review 1: I enjoyed this book very much. The conflict, while slightly convoluted, wasn't a simple one, and wasn't one that could have been solved by sitting everyone in a room and making them talk to each other. The hero is incredibly nice and kind and still very human, and the heroine is ...

review 1: I'm really, really glad this isn't the first Milan book I ever read, because she's my absolute favourite romance author, and this novella could have permanently put me off her.Reading the added content, I somewhat get what she was trying to do with this story, but it didn't work ...
