Courtney Milan can clearly write. She is talented. But for me this is a round up to three stars read. I liked most of the story, especially the first half. (Of course, downhill is not ideal as far as enjoyment of a book.) It's simply personal preference that I don't care for this type of male protagonist. The heroine is a much stronger character in this book, which is by design and part of the story. But, a resistant male lead with a lot to learn, and trouble learning it, is not my cup of tea.

I generally read all kinds of romance. Lately, urban fantasy, unusual PNR and post-apocalyptic themes have been interesting to me. Good historical romance is still on the menu. I favor smart, capable heroines paired with even smarter, more capable heroes.
