Trial By Desire

by Courtney Milan

[Amanda]

After finishing Trial by Desire, I experienced a brief---but strong---moment of woe and panic when I thought it was the last Courtney Milan book I haven't read. But lo! I have another one. Crisis averted. But this is the state I get in over Courtney Milan's books.

After Proof by Seduction (book 1), I was curious what would happen to Ned. Because Ned landed himself in a marriage and he wasn't handling it very well. And while I understood, I also hated what was happening to Kate as a result.

So then there was this book.

And I'm glad there was this book. Ned is back and different, but still Ned. And Kate has always been there and she's persevered and made something of herself, even if no one knows what that is. (Because secrets. And trouble.)

But I'm glad that the two came together. I like my HEA. This one wasn't quite as emotional as the first book, but... it still made me happy. Ned needed his story. Kate needed someone to believe in her. And, you know. Bad man got his comeuppance. Always a win.
