Eloisa James is truly a master novelist when it comes to witty and intelligent dialogues. As to prove this, this story starts with her trademark humor: The moment he was announced, a flock of young women swiveled toward him, each face flaunting a gleaming array of teeth. To his mind they all looke...
Slow to start, and then resolved too quickly and easily in the end. Perhaps a bit better than the last few in this series, but nowhere near as good as the first. I may have to let this series go.
The first half of this story is inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, while the second half--or maybe just the last few chapters--is inspired by the Rapunzel story. Gowan is a Scottish duke with immense wealth and responsibilities, inherited when he was just fourteen. (He's all of twenty-two, ...

Okay so I did a stupid thing when I started this. I looked ahead. But it's because I really don't trust Eloisa James anymore. After my horrifying experience reading "The Ugly Duchess" (containing one of the biggest cheating asshole heroes I've ever encountered in a book) I was really reluctant to d...
