A review by sjj169
Once Upon a Marquess by Courtney Milan
2.0
I've never read a Courtney Milan book. I've heard lots of good stuff about this author though and when I saw this book go up on Netgalley I about broke my finger requesting it.
I may need an Netgalley intervention quicker than I thought. I used to read historical romance, and I liked it at the time.
I think I've read too many stabbing, killing and porny mayhem books though. Because in this book I was just bored.
Judith is not a bad character at all though. I don't want to distract people from reading this book and series. It's def. a case of it being me. She is fiesty and really for a romance book she sets a pretty decent standard. She is taking care of her family after her father and brother are found guilty of treason. She has been selling everything the family owned and trying to get by.
I had nearly a thousand pounds set aside so my sisters might have a chance at a decent marriage. I know they won't find lords; I had hoped for vicars.
Vicars!!! Oops, sorry I totally have Joey from friends forever burned in my head when vicars get involved.
Juliet is having a hard time and she know needs Christian's help. Christian is the Marquess and helped in the conviction of Juliet's father and older brother. Who just happened to be his best friend.
There is doubts in Juliet and her sisters head of their brother's guilt.
But he is now missing and thought to be dead, so they just need those sisters married off.
This is just pure formula romancey for me. I think romance readers would probably enjoy it much more than I did because I'm totally known for reading things wrong.
