NetGalley Review: Once Upon a Courtesan by Jess Michaels

Once Upon a Courtesan (The Comerford Courtesans #1)Once Upon a Courtesan by Jess Michaels

My Rating: ✩✩✩✩

This was a great, light and comfy, historical romance that is exactly what is on the tin.

The premise is realistic, though just fun enough to get you into that fun romance headspace. The pasts are tragic, but in a manner that gives the characters dimension, not triteness. The FMC being a courtesan means the story can fast track to the good stuff. In this book the spice is instant while the love is slow-burn. The climactic drama happens to the couple, not between the couple, so the HEA really works.

Overall, a great historical that will please fans of the genre.
