A review by chirson
Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan
4.0
3.5? Three stars for the plot and the romance, four stars for the characters, particularly Crash. It's typical Milan, with humour, a theme and a guiding metaphor (here: riding a velocipede) that runs through the entire story. There isn't really anything terribly new about the love plot other than a slightly more atypical hero , but the ingredients are right as always, and the reconcilliation was very, very good (I might have felt a bit choked up at reading Crash's impassioned description of why he is proud of his family).
I noticed one typo (gentleman / gentlemen) but other than that, it was slightly better than I'd expected (especially after her last historical novel, which felt a little forced,like she'd rather be writing her contemporary series).
I think it would have been better given more pages to breathe (I would have gladly read more about Crash), but as it was, it was a pleasure to read on my morning commute.
