He is banished to the country by his father because of his recklessness and he has to learn to manage the land to be allowed to return to London. The prudish, stick-in-the-mud, recently widowed heroine turns to her happy-go-lucky, shallow and rakish neighbor out of desperation: they will have sex until Martha is pregnant and Theo will be compensated. I found the premise a bit weird and I wasn’t sure if it will work for me, but I was pleasantly surprised because Cecilia Grant spins the story in creative and inverted ways. Her skill with words and the way she builds tension resembles Thomas, whereas the subtle ways in which she fleshes out the characters and shows how their relationship transforms are reminiscent of Milan’s talent as an author of small details. I can describe her style as a mixture of Sherry Thomas and Courtney Milan. After I got accustomed to her style, I began to enjoy it immensely, because she has a unique voice. ![]() I loved the book and adored both MCs, but to be honest, I struggled for about 20 pages with Cecilia Grant’s writing, but I think it is my fault because I have been settling down for romance authors whose prose is a bit unnuanced and unskilled. ![]() ![]() Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe.Īll of this was artificial.

Today, Milkman is the codirector of Behavior Change for Good* (BCFG), an interdisciplinary initiative that studies how to achieve sustainable behavior change at scale.

I remember liking the first book, but this one really made me fall in love with Jenna and how she’s portrayed. I actually picked up the first Hex Hall book not knowing that there was a lesbian character at all (they must just be magnetically drawn to me at this point), so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that Sophie’s roommate at her new school (for magical beings) is a lesbian vampire!
