Narration During Books A Duke of Her Own (Desperate Duchesses #6)
A DUKE MUST CHOOSE WISELY...Leopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and nobly—and his choices, alas, are few. The Duke of Montague's daughter, Eleanor, is exquisitely beautiful and fiercely intelligent. Villiers betroths himself to her without further ado.
After all, no other woman really qualifies. Lisette, the outspoken daughter of the Duke of Gilner, cares nothing for clothing or decorum. She's engaged to another man, and doesn't give a fig for status or title. Half the ton believes Lisette mad—and Villiers is inclined to agree.
Torn between logic and passion, between intelligence and imagination, Villiers finds himself drawn to the very edge of impropriety. But it is not until he's in a duel to the death, fighting for the reputation of the woman he loves, that Villiers finally realizes that the greatest risk may not be in the dueling field...
But in the bedroom. And the heart.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:A DUKE MUST CHOOSE WISELY...choLeopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and noblyand his choices, alas, are few. The Duke ofMoss had been raving about Eloisa James, so I decided to try her out. I picked up the first of this series, read the sample, encountered Villiers, and decided to jump ahead to the last book. Mostly because the plot of the other books didn't really appeal to me.Alas. I misunderstood the blurb and believed Lisette was going to be the heroine until we actually met her. So for the first quarter of the book I kept waiting for the heroine to show up. Sigh. Sometimes, I'm slow. Anyway I imagined
As a book reviewer, I read a lot, A LOT, of books. From womens fiction to mysteries to biographies, Ive read nearly every genre there is, even science fiction. But my guilty pleasure, when I want to just relax and read something fun is a good ol bodice ripping historical romance. Yep, I want all the steamy, frisky, good-time loving that can be found in the pages of a delightfully indulgent romance novel.And one of the best authors of the historical romance genre is Eloisa James. In her latest
4 Reformed Rakish StarsOh, I have felt lust. And I've indulged lust. But no other woman has turned me into another person. A Duke with six bastard children is looking for a woman to be a mother to his children. Someone who will overlook their questionable birth and help them grow up to face the scorn of society. Villiers quest seems almost impossible, but he has found two choices, a woman who is in love with another man, and one who is reputed to be quite mad.A very entertaining book about

I appreciate the rich detail and strong sense of time & place that EJ puts into her stories, but there are times when I feel like she's talking over my head. IMO, it's tedious to have to stop & think about every subtle nuance of character dialogue and interaction, especially when she's going to rehash all of it two or
Reading this book was such a weird experience. It was addicting but at the same time I didn't like or care about the couple or their romance. I read about the witty dialogues in other reviews but at times it felt more like rude and cruel to me. I also never enjoy love triangles, and this was one was even worse, since love wasn't even involved. I basically liked his children and the dog. The end of the book was great but it felt like I was reading a different book. It had nothing to do with the
Rating: A ... Heat: HotThis was book was... fantastic. And so different from the usual HR. So different.For starters, the hero has six illegitimate children. And he is no longer content to let them be raised in orphanages or suffer on the streets. So Leopold, the Duke of Villiers, is finding his children, one by one, and bringing them home with him. To be raised properly and eventually introduced into society... Which is why he needs a wife. And not just any wife will do; he needs one who 1) is
