The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan
emotional
5.0
The perfect novella doesn't ex—
I loooved this!! It was perfect. Why didn't anyone tell me that Courtney Milan writes kinda angsty stuff?
(I know, I know. Everyone has been telling me. But I'd only read The Duke Who Didn't [which is lovely, just thoroughgoingly lighthearted] so I didn't believe you 😝)
A "ruined" heroine. A working class hero. Some 'screw rich people' storyline.
And LETTERS. Horny-yet-hostile letters.
When I started this, l'd just DNFed the most lame-o enemies to lovers Reylo epic fantasy book. And this novella had more enemies to lovers storyline in its pinky toe.
Kudos for making this hero kinda evil (gimme evil heroes who fall hard for our heroine and start being evil FOR her). Kudos to him being the most tender consent king, that sexy time was everything. And kudos for making our heroine such a strong character.
Plus, a free novella, who doesn't love that?
