I am sorry to be one of many here, but Courtney Milan’s The Suffragette Scandal is my favorite of her Brothers Sinister series. Thus far. I haven’t read the novellas yet and I’m told by people who know such things that The Governess Affair is delightful. I will get to that one at some point I’m sure. Suffragette Scandal features Oliver Marshall’s (the lamest ‘hero’ in Milan’s oeuvre I’ve read so far) younger sister Frederica, or Free as her friends call her. We met her […]

A Romance where the secondary plot trumps the main one!
So this is the second novel in the Brothers Sinister series, but fourth story overall. Thus far the two novellas have been perfection (and every romance reader and author should read and take note), but both novels haven’t done it for me yet. And that includes you, The Heiress Effect. This time we have Jane, an heiress of undistinguished birth, and Oliver Marshall, bastard brother of the Duke of Clermont. Jane comes off as loud, brash and uncouth, but has so much money that no one […]
“I thought he was a centipede. Where did he get tentacles?” “The tentacle store. Stop interrupting.”
Once again, I’m one of the last ones to jump on the Courtney Milan bandwagon. Last year, Milan was an author I had never heard of, writing books in a genre that I knew nothing about. And then I followed the advice of my fellow Cannonballers and read her Brothers Sinister series — and I really liked them. Milan was a good writer who really appreciated history and strong women. This year, the buzz was all about Milan’s entry into the contemporary, New Adult genre, and her […]
In which I return from a lengthy vacation and dive head-first in to the New Adult genre.
I’ve been away for a month on a lovely vacation. Mountains, beach, Boston, family, and 10 great books. And now I’m back to reality. Laundry, unpacking, back to school shopping, and book reviews. I’m not sure I can take it. Because I read a 5-book (well, actually, 4 novels and one novella) series, I’m going to start my reviews there. Even though they were the last books I read, and the freshest in my mind, and I should probably try and remember what happened in those […]
A historical romance novella and the first Milan that I’ve loved!
And I finally get what all of my fellow “ballers” are talking about when they talk about Milan. This amazing little novella is full of wit, life, some very real darkness, but overall a wonderful triumph and a happy ever after I can get behind! This is a prequel to the Brothers Sinister series. It tells the story of former governess, Serena, and the Duke of Clermont’s “man of affairs”, Hugo. Serena spends every day sitting outside the Duke of Clermont’s residence saying nothing, while […]
I Love a Sebastian
Courtney Milan’s third entry in her Brothers Sinister is The Countess Conspiracy. In this one, Sebastian Malheur, notorious rake and longtime friend of the heroes of the previous two entries in the series, has grown tired of covering for his best friend Violet, Countess of somethingorother. All of the incredible scientific advances he’s made and lectured on, regarding sexuality and inheritance are actually Violet’s. Sebastian isn’t necessarily tired of it because of the threats on his life, but it’s more of an insult to his […]
