Re-Read Leaves Me Wanting

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

by Leave a Comment

I did this as a Buddy Read with “Romance Book Buddy Reading” group on Goodreads. Good lord, I got nothing. I just realized why this was my least favorite of the Brothers Sinister books. Sebastian and Violet are tedious, all of the science parts did my head in completely, and Violet’s sister is written inconsistently. The way she is initially framed in the story is being protective of her daughter, then Sebastian calls her a viper, and we get a scene where Violet’s sister is upset about her daughter getting an education, and her sister becoming known as an educated […]

“I’m all hard edges, Sebastian. Hard edges and crumpled pieces and broken pieces of glass. There is no way for you to win this”

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

This is a re-read, my original review of this book can be found here. The book can be read on its own, but works better if you’ve read at least The Heiress Effect.  The final book in a trilogy is always supposed to be about the most complicated of the characters, right? As it turns out, this wasn’t actually the final book in the series, as the novella Ms Milan intended for Free Marshall turned into a fourth novel, but this is nevertheless the book and the characters she planned the whole series around. She always intended to write about the brilliant […]

You can never go wrong with puppy cannons.

The Brothers Sinister Series by Courtney Milan

by 11 Comments

When school started in September, I told myself that now that I had a little bit of free time, I was going to catch up on several things that the Cannonball community had recommended: 1. Watching the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube. 2. Reading a few books by Courtney Milan. There were simply too many 5-star reviews for me to ignore. This was a bandwagon that I needed to get on! 3. Attempt to read at least one of the Outlander books. Well, the kids have been in school for 7 weeks now, and I’ve completed action-items 1 (LOVED) and 2 […]

A Series of Unfortunate Brothers

The Governess Affair, The Duchess War, A Kiss for Midwinter, The Heiress Effect, The Countess Conspiracy, by Courtney Milan

by 12 Comments

Last week I had a headache, and I turned off the TV, and turned on my Kindle, onto which I had previously downloaded The Governess Affair, at some point when Amazon was giving it away. And then I spent the rest of the day, and much of the night, reading the entire rest of the series. Which I know is Amazon’s sly marketing ploy – “Reel them in with one story and the simplest ‘One click here to buy the next book’ tactic” – but, what can I tell you? If the books are good, that definitely works. It is […]

Scientists in Love

The Countess Conspiracy (The Brothers Sinister, Book 3) by Courtney Milan

by Leave a Comment

Sebastian Malheur is one of the most revered naturalists of his day… and one of the most reviled men in England. After all, he gives public lectures about reproduction and genetics and that is simply Not Done in polite company. Imagine how much more scandalous it would be if word got out that his pioneering discoveries about inherited traits were actually made by a woman!
