Review of 'The Duchess War' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I am not a romance reader (fic does it better and is queerer), but enough people suggested Courtney Milan as a well-written exception that I gave it a shot. 

I thought I was getting regency cishets, and I did, but with a big dose of labor rights and unionization. Hell yeah!

Still not my genre, but this surpassed my (low) expectations. Well written, tolerable sex scenes, healthy relationships and communication. Probably better than 90% of romance novels. 

May or may not care enough to continue the series. 

Review of 'The Duchess War' on 'Goodreads'

Why do I enjoy this book so much, when its is plot is very nearly the same as [b:The Countess Conspiracy|13489925|The Countess Conspiracy (Brothers Sinister, #3)|Courtney Milan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1363009130s/13489925.jpg|19028800] which had me writhing in agony? ["Cover me in BEES!" Betty, 2015]

There was only one bit that was too awkward for me, where Whatsisface declares his feelings for Minnie by reading to her from a childrens' book, but it barely lasted a page or two, so I strong-like-oxed my way through it.
