I loved [b:Desperate Duchesses|641455|Desperate Duchesses (Desperate Duchesses, #1)|Eloisa James|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347643101s/641455.jpg|627645], but this one wasn't quite as fun for me. The first book was witty in a very Wilde-esque fashion and the second book definitely lacks in that. ...

2.5 stars. Found it on clearance at HPB and decided to give it a try. I'd liked some other Eloisa James books, so it seemed like a good bet. I didn't read the first in this series, but it seems like each book is fairly standalone. This book was just okay. I found it hard to suspend disbelief lon...

I had so many problems with this book. First I thought the heroine was an idiot. I know, I know, she was young and dominated by her mother. But that only works for me in the beginning. This was a woman who was married for four years to a man that adored her and tried to do everything in his powe...

It takes a lot for me not to finish a book, no matter how much I'm frustrated with it but this one really pissed me off and for several reasons. I'm a Eloisa James fan first and foremost so part of my frustration and bafflement with this book was trying to wrap my head around why she would write a s...
