REVIEW: Trade Me by Courtney Milan

WillafulB- Reviews / Book Reviewsclass-difference / college students / interracial-romance / New Adult / POC / POC author32 Comments

Dear Courtney Milan: It cracked me up to read the GoodReads comments of people who are waiting for this, because most of them follow exactly my own thought processes: “New Courtney Milan, yay! Billionaire hero New Adult novel…. err…” I don’t think most of those readers will be sorry they ... more >

REVIEW: Talk Sweetly to Me by Courtney Milan

WillafulBook Reviews / C+ Reviewshistorical romance / interracial-romance / novella / POC / POC author / Series / Victorian / white hero/black heroine7 Comments

REVIEW: The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

Guest ReviewerA- Reviews / Book ReviewsDeceit / Historical / POC author / Scientist / Victorian2 Comments

Dear Courtney Milan: It’s not often I find a book, of any genre, that makes me want to cheer – let alone a book in the wonderful, yet somewhat repetitive Regency / Regency-feel romance field.  The character choices and plots tend to be a little limited.  Rakish bad boy meets ... more >

REVIEW: The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

JennieB Reviews / Book ReviewsBrothers Sinister series / friends-to-lovers / genius heroine / historical romance / POC author17 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan, I believe I’m not alone in being in a serious historical romance funk. Among the readers I talk to, it seems that many of us who have been primarily historical romance fans for years are finding it hard to get excited about the current crop of books. ... more >
