Courtney Milan writes. \u00a0Her books tend to be simultaneously witty and hilarious while also bringing all the feels, and I mark each new release on the calendar. \u00a0So it was with a bit of surprise that I realized that I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to reading <em>Hamilton&#8217;s Battalion<\/em>, an anthology of historical romance novellas set during and after the Revolutionary War and including stories from Ms. Milan, Alyssa Cole and Rose Lerner. \u00a0So when I realized the stories were being released individually, I finally got my act together and decided to start reviewing them!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe gritted his teeth and tried to smash the other man\u2019s head.<br \/>\nThe other man ducked out of the way. \u201cNice weather for a siege, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>John, a black American soldier, is busy just trying to survive the Battle of Yorktown, so when he happens upon a British officer skulking in the woods, his first thought is to kill him. \u00a0Luckily, he decides to spare his life, with the other man promising to search him out after the war in return for his mercy. \u00a0John, used to the non-promises of rich white men, thinks nothing of it, and so is surprised when the man actually shows up in the Revolutionary soldier&#8217;s camp days after the surrender. \u00a0He\u00a0has no time for a probably insane British officer, considering he&#8217;s worried by the lack of correspondence from his sister. \u00a0So when he flippantly suggests Henry can help him by accompanying him on his trek from Virginia back to his family in Rhode Island, expecting to be brushed off, he&#8217;s alarmed when he accepts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI am a cheesemonger,\u201d Henry said. It was a complete lie, but the story almost didn\u2019t matter. \u201cCheese is my livelihood. I am here for the purpose of purveying cheese.\u201d<br \/>\nThe men exchanged confused glances and Henry made a mental note: Next time, less emphasis on cheese.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Henry is&#8230; well, Henry is, in his words, is odd, even for an obviously well-off British officer. \u00a0In John&#8217;s words, he&#8217;s &#8220;something of a puppy\u2014earnest, exuberant, and utterly devoid of house-training.&#8221; \u00a0Over the course of their road trip back to John&#8217;s family, they slowly begin to become friends, and then more. \u00a0I would not have thought that you could write a character as sympathetic as a black ex-slave Revolutionary soldier, but Henry nearly meets that. \u00a0I won&#8217;t spoil why that is, just reiterate that Ms. Milan knows how to bring all the feels to the party.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAn ideal set in motion is a dangerous thing. You can\u2019t control who believes it, or whether they take it to heart. \u2018All men are created equal.\u2019 Think of the power of that phrase.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s refreshing for a m\/m romance as there&#8217;s no angst over their orientations &#8211; they&#8217;ve both long ago accepted that they&#8217;re gay and also both quickly realize the other is as well. \u00a0There&#8217;s a lot of good dialogue around allyship, as well, around the thorny bits of performative allyship, selfish allyship versus actually being an ally. \u00a0In the midst of a delightful slow-burn, well-characterized, utterly hilarious romance, we&#8217;ve got the best explanation and demonstration of what allyship should look like. \u00a0And this, probably, is why I keep coming back to Ms. Milan&#8217;s work, because I can count on finishing one of her stories with a whole lot of happy feels, some teary angst, and also a moral about how everyone has some inherent worth.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, if you&#8217;re looking for a hilarious historical with all the feels, read this, or any other of Ms. Milan&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, if you&#8217;ve been reading my reviews, you know that I have a deep and abiding love for pretty much everything Courtney Milan writes.
