pickThis one started off really slow for me, but picked up at about 25-30% in. After that, I flew through it and fell in love with the characters. I ended up finishing it tonight while laying in bed with Miss Nina, as she took *absolutely forever* to fall asleep...
This is 2/6 finished titles for my #JubilantJuly goal! 😊 @Andrew65
pickI‘ve said it before and I‘ll keep on saying it because it‘s true: Courtney Milan is SO DAMNED GOOD. With UNVEILED, she puts her characters in an impossible position, further complicates it with intense sibling loyalty on both sides, and proceeds to show us how they negotiate their way through it all not just as lovers but as people who like and respect one another.
This is my favourite kind of romance.
My phone died on Tuesday, under highly stressful but tl;dr circumstances, and I spent the rest of the week so anxious I could barely read. Now I‘ve finally got a replacement phone, I‘ve cleared away the anxiety triggers, and I aim to gulp down as much prose as I possibly can before the weekend‘s over.
Intense Monday night plans.
I might watch some trashy TV, too, because I know how to live.
pickI loved this book. Ash is an absolutely great character. He is strong, determined, loyal, but also vulnerable and doesn‘t let anyone see except Margaret. I also loved how strong Margaret is. She is torn between her love and her family.

Book stats, my fave new year's day activity. Overall happy but surprised with 2017. Can't believe I read only a third sff - when I started keeping track it was to remind myself to read outside that genre too. Women authors went down 10% from 2016 but diverse books went up 9% so not bad. Biggest concern is that 0 means it's been 2 full years since I read a book in a language other than English - 2018 goal is min. 1 French book/month
And with this book, I finish #litsyatoz titles and authors! I'm keeping this challenge for 2018 because it was fun, but I'm not bothering to plan out titles next time... I changed my mind on almost everything lol, only read 2 of my planned books for title and 6 for author.
pickI'm in a #romantsy phase again! And Courtney Milan comes to the rescue. I'm beginning to think she can do no wrong 😊As a newbie to romance I'm discovering I really prefer heroes that are not 'assholes' and heroines that are not ingenues. I like the way that Milan trumps the tropes - particularly when you're expecting characters to act selfishly or thoughtlessly and they do something sensible instead!
The hero of this #romantsy has waited years to get #revenge on the man who ruined his family - but he wasn't counting on falling for the man's daughter. #jubilantjuly
pickIt's rare that I read out of order. I read the third book before this one. I felt like reading a comfort romance and Milan is a good choice for that. I enjoyed the relationship between Margaret and Ash. Both went on a journey and found each other at the end of it. I went back and reread the novella (which was very much a stand alone in the series). Comfort reading rating high 🍪🍪🍪#romantsy
pickCourtney Milan never disappoints. This is the first book in the Turner Brothers series and it was a delight. It did everything I think a romance should do, which is to say that the heroine was complex and kickass while still allowed to be a hot mess, I was in love with the hero, and I could not for the life of me figure out how they'd be able to be together until the very end of the book. A Labor Day's reading well spent.
At my favorite coffee shop with a Courtney Milan novel. This is basically my natural habitat.
