Book 22: Unlocked

Unlocked (Turner 1.6) by Courtney Milan

Part 2 of Christmas gifts is here. And just like the first, I loved it! Miss Milan, you are worming your way into my book heart with every work I read. I don’t know how you cram so much goodness in 70 pages, but behold that is what it is. My heart followed every exciting page and wants more! Although the Hero was a big jerk to our heroine in the past, he tries to make amends with her; and I cannot help but smile evilly when she makes him grovel more. But Evan is such a sweetheart. *sigh* All his speeches, and actions, it’s no wonder that Elaine just melted. Well eventually.

Book 16: The Governess’s Affair

The Governess’s Affair (Brothers Sinister, #0.5) by Courtney Milan

 

After 100 pages and one hour and thirty-six minutes later (Yes I did time myself!! haha I was in a weird mood). I am completely satisfied with book 1 of 3 of my lovely Christmas gift books. I think I have just found my next Romance Author to read (she currently has 18 published works). Hugo is a fearsome man, worthy of the name “Wolf of Clermont,” but there is no good love story unless Serena is his match in every way. Which she is, of course. While I think the plot is okay (it is only a novella), their battles of wit are why I gave this book 4 stars.

 

Quotes:

 

“I only behave when it counts” (19) Oh Hugo, those words will make any woman flutter to you.

“And he’d practically disrobed her-well, maybe disgloved her.” (29) Milan makes the simple action of removing a glove, a hot hot hot event.

“Marry me.

But this… this was perhaps, the most sinister thing that he’d said.” (42)
