Violet is a good character and her own arc is a delight, but The Countess Conspiracy is a book that seems sort of shoved into the romance format against its will.
Now I really want to see Courtney Milan write a non-romance, just to see what it looks like.
Heiress Effect, Suffragette Scandal, and Governess Affair are I think the best books in that series overall; Duchess War, on the other hand, is my favorite of all of them for 3/4 of its length but has (imo) one or two fatal flaws.
I have not read any pre-Turner novels yet, but traditionally I read Milans when I'm stressed-out and traveling, and currently I am all out of Milans, so eventually I may be driven to it.
Well, I look forward to your report if it happens.
I've seen enough other recommendations for The Suffragette Scandal that I'm going to try it, besides which it stars Free. What goes wrong at the three-quarter mark of The Duchess War?
It is called True Pretenses and I believe it is physically book-able from the Minuteman library system.
Sweet!
She also wrote the Jewish cross-dressing revolutionary war hero novella in the Hamilton anthology, and a historical novella I have never yet gotten around to reviewing titled All or Nothing in which a bisexual Jewish architect invites a woman to be his fake fiancee at his ex's house party in the mistaken belief that he is rescuing her from what in fact is a totally consensual open relationship.
Unless her prose is really flat, chances seem very good that I will like Rose Lerner.
