Book Description:
The Woman

Lady Henrietta Maclellan longs for the romantic swirl of a London season. But as a rusticating country maiden, she has always kept her sensuous nature firmly under wraps -- until she meets Simon Darby. Simon makes her want to whisper promises late at night, exchange kisses on a balcony, receive illicit love notes. So Henrietta lets her imagination soar and writes...

The Letter

A very steamy love letter that becomes shockingly public. Everyone supposes that he has written it to her, but the truth hardly matters in the face of the scandal to come if they don't marry at once. But nothing has quite prepared Henrietta for the pure sensuality of...

The Man

Simon has vowed he will never turn himself into a fool over a woman. So, while debutantes swoon as he disdainfully strides past the lovely ladies of the ton, he ignores them allÂ…until Henrietta. Could it be possible that he has been the foolish one all along?

I always enjoy Eloisa James' books and this was not an exception. I also have a fondness for the fun she has writing the foibles of the upper classes in their dealings with the uninhibited ways of children. The heroine in the novel has grown up with the belief that she is unmarriagable because she has a physical defect and cannot bear children. The hero in the book is convinced that he can ignore his two little step-sisters when they are all orphaned, and leave all that "unpleasantness" to governesses. The Ton believes that he must marry an heiress for her money. When all these circumstances come together and the two are forced to marry, no one thought that they might just simply be mistaken about everything.

This is the second book in The Duchess Quartet by Eloisa James. While it was probably my least favorite out of the four books in this series, it is by no means a poorly written book. It is better read as part of the series than as a stand-alone, however.

Enjoyable but not great. I like the hero and heroine in this but found their ending very predictable.

This story of three lady friends, other books in the series, A Wild Pursuit and Your Wicked Ways. All steamy and great romp plus Ms. James is a witty writer.

A really fun book about a sweet heroine and the dandy-ish hero that she longs for... A real treat.

I felt this book moved slower than some of James' other books. It wasn't as enjoyable to me. The ending came rather abruptly, without any dramatic tension leading up to it.

I enjoyed this 2nd book in James' "Duchess Quartet."

It's an E. James book, what's not to love? Funny, engaging characters. I really enjoyed all the correspondence flying around in this one.
