Unclaimed Courtney Milan

REVIEW: Unclaimed by Courtney Milan

JaneB Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / courtesan / Courtney Milan / Deception / Harlequin / Historical Romances / non agency / POC author / virgin15 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan: Toward the end of the review it is going to sound like I didn’t like this book but that would be the wrong impression. I did like this book.  I liked it but in a lot of ways I found Mark, like his older brother Ash, to ... more >

REVIEW: Unlocked by Courtney Milan

JaneA Reviews / Book ReviewsCourtney Milan / enemies to lovers / Historical Romances / POC author / self-published34 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan: I’ve been chomping at the bit to talk about this book with other readers.  I’ve felt, in the past, that your works were smart and thoughtful but sometimes lacking in emotional engagement.  I particularly struggled to connect with Ned Carhart in Trial by Desire.  But Unlocked packs ... more >

REVIEW: Unveiled by Courtney Milan

JanetB Reviews / B- Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / class-difference / Courtney Milan / Harlequin / POC author16 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan: I have heard such good things about your early Victorian-set novels that I kept meaning to read one. When the controversy over the Publisher's Weekly review erupted, I knew I would have to read Unveiled. While more confused than ever about that infamous review, I have been ... more >

REVIEW: Trial by Desire by Courtney Milan

lazaraspasteA Reviews / Book ReviewsCourtney Milan / estranged marriage / Marriage-in-Trouble / POC author / reunited-lovers40 Comments

If I were to describe this plot, I would say that it is a plot of estranged spouses. Ned has gone from boy to man, as is most often the result of journeys. And Lady Kathleen has suffered the rumor of her husband's swift removal for the past three years. But this book is so much more than the reconciliation of estranged spouses. It is more than the two protagonist's getting to know each other as they fall in love, despite the forced marriage. No, this is a book about what makes a hero.

REVIEW: Proof by Seduction by Courtney Milan

JennieB+ Reviews / Book Reviewsacross the tracks / Courtney Milan / Debut-book / featured / Historical Romances / POC author12 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan, I had been hearing positive buzz from several quarters for this, your debut romance, so I approached it with perhaps higher-than-usual hopes. Maybe because of those high hopes, the read started out a little rocky for me. The heroine and hero encounter each other in the first ... more >
