A long-awaited book, not my favorite, but still worth the wait.

After the Wedding (The Worth Saga, #2) by Courtney Milan

I was underwhelmed by the first book in this series when it was published in 2015, and to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed by this one, although it’s a definite improvement. My main complaint with Once Upon a Marquess was that it was too scattered, and the main characters individually and as a couple suffered for it. I also thought their chemistry was a little forced. Both of those complaints were non-existent for me, here. And where I found little sister Theresa an annoyance in the first book, honestly she was my favorite part of this one. (I […]

The importance of choosing and being chosen in return

I Deserve a Slow Falling in Love.

After the Wedding by Courtney Milan

As a cherry on the sundae of a wonderful week, I received an advance reader copy of After the Wedding by Courtney Milan, in exchange for an honest review. I can say honestly that I love it. I love Camilla and Adrian. Happily ever after is built into the genre, it is a given. We know before we open the book that Camilla and Adrian will fall in love. The joy of reading Romance is seeing exactly how the author takes us down this familiar path. Courtney Milan gives us two lovely characters, a cause worth fighting for, and supporting characters […]
