I've been intermittently reading James's novels as the mood strikes me for historicals, and it always seems to go thusly: one novel that's cute and light, followed by one (or even two) that are too douchey or dumb. I first hit James because she's the daughter of Robert Bly, a local poet of some note...
What a joy to read! Full of humour, fun, interesting characters (especially Jemma and Villiers), fabulous clothes (especially Villiers' and Jemma's), fabulous parties, amazingly good writing about chess as a metaphor for life, sex, everything. And hilarious, brilliantly written secondary characters ...
I think I'm finding Eloisa James's books to be very witty but not very warm. And I mean that in an emotional way. There seems to be several plot lines going, and there's some sort of scheme and while the writing is enjoyable, it flows well and there's plenty of wit I find I don't really care that ...
this was an interesting read, I didn't like the lead heroine for most of it. She was a twit, a naïve twit lmao and her foolish look at love and what she wanted, hell she had no idea what she wanted. Her cousin Jemma was hilarious, her husband a bore.Duke V was a douchebag...My favorites were Damon a...

4 ++Verrry different! But I really liked it. I liked all the different personalities and the intricate story. Looking forward to following all the characters.
I'm not normally a fan of straight romance, so this book pleasantly surprised me. The story overall is nothing special, but I absolutely love Eloisa James' writing style.The dialogue has a comedic aspect that is reminiscent of Oscar Whilde and Shakespeare's comedies (not surprising since James is a ...
Eh, I wasn't too impressed by this book. I used to read a lot of romance novels when I was a teenager and this one felt really "Meh" to me. The main character (what was her name?) was so incredibly bland and boring compared to her cousin Jemma, who actually had a plot driving her actions. The way th...
