9 posts | 27 read | 7 to read
The Duchess of Cosway yearns for a man she has never met . . . her husband. Married by proxy as a child, Lady Isidore has spent years fending off lecherous men in every European court while waiting to meet her husband. She's determined to accept him, no matter how unattractive the duke turns out to be. When she finally lures Simeon Jermyn back to London, his dark handsomeness puts Isidore's worst fears to restuntil disaster strikes. The duke demands an annulment. Forsaking his adventuresome past, Simeon has returned to London ready to embrace the life of a proper duke, only to find that his supposed wife is too ravishing, too headstrong, and too sensual to be the docile duchess he has in mind. But Isidore will not give up her claim to the titleor himwithout a fight. She will do whatever it takes to capture Simeon's heart, even if it means sacrificing her virtue. After all, a consummated marriage cannot be annulled. Yet in forcing Simeon into a delicious surrender, will Isidore risk not only her dignitybut her heart?

Audio bingeing Eloisa James not only because I enjoy them but because my library has a woeful audio selection on Overdrive. This one was enjoyable as well, though it didn't have the drama and intrigue of some of the others in the series. Unfortunately, my library also doesn't have an audio copy of the conclusion to this series.

So my vacation from reality continues with book 4 in this series. I especially liked how Isidore and Simeon had to work for this relationship it isn't all sparkly love at first sight wrapped in a bow. Moving on to book five.

This was a fun historical romance. The Duchess is a tempestuous young woman of Italian descent. The Duke ,a practitioner of "the middle way" , is hoping for a quiet biddable wife. He's in for a surprise!

EloisaJames Thanks!! I had fun learning all about Georgian toilets for that book--it's been a while but I'm still an expert on the development of the s-bend! (Actually, I suppose that's not much of a selling point) 8y
Dragon @EloisaJames yes that was a nice bonus to the book- a brief history of indoor plumbing and the people who cleaned them out. 👍 8y

It's the third storm in the last three days. So I'm hunkered down reading my first Duchess 👸 book by @EloisaJames . I started it late last night so had a touch of #bookinsomnia. Really enjoying it and hankering after some cardamom cookies 🍪 this Duke is sweet and spicy 🌶

EloisaJames I'm so glad you like it--and what a cool photo! Thank you. 8y
Dragon Thanks @EloisaJames hope Vegas is fun . 8y
