Trial by Desire by Courtney Milan

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.
