I read the books in reverse order, admittedly starting with the best one.

This trilogy contains one book each for three popular romance storylines: the revenge plot, Unveiled, the reformed rake, Unclaimed, and the tortured hero, Unraveled.

Milan is a newer writer, very much better than most, and she makes interesting choices which neatly turn genre tropes, if not upside-down, at least on their side. Lisa Kleypas is actually my favourite writer, but I’ve already consumed her entire output and am looking out for other authors. It is a truth universally acknowledged that romance novels are not necessarily very well-written however, if you are curious about them and want to know who is the best writer out there (of the more than two dozen I’ve tried) Courtney Milan is where you should start.
