Unraveled

Courtney Milan — 2011

From New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan... Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past--secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm's length. Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom... Miranda Darling isn't in trouble...yet. But she's close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction. And yet no matter how forbidding the man seems on the outside, she can't bring herself to leave. Instead, when he tries to push her away, she pushes right back--straight through his famous self-control and into the heart of the passion that he has long hidden away... Unraveled is a full length novel at 95,000 words.

You are magnificent, Courtney Milan! This whole series is basically an average of 5 stars imo. I love the writing, I love the ladies, I love the gents (cannot say that very often!!!) and the way the characters treat each other. Just everything. Oh well, except the fact that there are no other Turner siblings the author could write a book about. I am happy we got the novella about Elaine though, which is still my favorite in this series, I guess, but it is hard to choose because every book in this series is great. I simply cannot wait to read the author's other works.

I liked a lot of this, but my own personal issues made me very uncomfortable with certain aspects of the hero's personality and with the romance bits. It was by far my least favorite of all Courtney Milan books I've read. I considered not finishing it because I was uncomfortable. I expected to like it much more than I did. (As an aside: I totally thought Jeremy was in love with George and still kind of do. I expected this instead of the actual queer couple in the story. Like, c'mon, give the people [me] what they want.)
