Book Description:
It is whispered behind the fans of London's dowagers and in the corners of fashionable ballrooms that scandal follows willfully wild Lady Beatrix Lennox wherever she goes.
Three years before, the debutante created a sensation by being found in a distinctly compromising position. Now, the ton has branded her as unmarriageable, her family has called her a vixen, and Beatrix sees no reason not to go after what -- and who -- she wishes.
And she wants Stephen Fairfax-Lacy, the handsome Earl of Spade. Beatrix, with her brazen suggestions and irresistibly sensuous allure, couldn't be more different from the earl's ideal future bride. Yet Beatrix brings out a wildness in the earl he has tried to deny far too long. Still, he's not about to play love's game by Lady Beatrix's rules. She may be used to being on top in affairs of the heart, but that will soon change.

My biggest problem with this book and the others in this series is that there are too many other storylines going on at the same time. I didn't feel as if this was Bea and Stephen's book. It felt as if they were just one of many stories going on. I don't mind multiple storylines but feel that the couple advertised on the book should have a primary role. It was a good read but definitely not great. I am finding that I much prefer Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh and Lisa Kleypas over Ms. James.

This book is great. I read it in one afternoon, I just couldn't put it down. Lady Bea is such a delightful character and as you read her story, you can't help but relate to her. Stephen is such a delightful man. The way he shows her that she is not "unmarriageable" and that she is in fact a beautiful desire. What a great journey! I love Eloisa James and she doesn't disappoint with this one!

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

This is the third book in the Duchess Series series. Anyone who likes Eloisa James will love this book. Scandalous Beatrix Lennox falls in love with uptight and upright Stephen Fairfax-Lacy. She is definitely not what he is looking for, but of course she is perfect for him.

Dawn T. (Wonderful book with a great ensemble of witty and engaging characters.
(Wonderful continuation of The Duchess Quartet (book 3 in the series). Reading Eloisa James makes me feel like I am living in regency England.
Two love stories in one book, in this 3rd book in the "Duchess Quartet."
It is whispered behind the fans of Londons dowagers and in the corners of fashionable ballrooms that scandal follows willfully wild Lady Beatrix Lennox wherever she goes. Three years before, the debutante created a sensation by being found in a distinctly compromising position. Now the ton has branded her as unmarriageable, her family has called her a vixon and beatrix see no reason not to go after who and what she wants. And she wants Stephen Fairfax-Lacy, the earl of Spade. Beatrix couldn't be more different than the grooms future ideal of a bride. Yet she brings a wildness in to the earl he tries to deny. But he's not about to play love's game by her rules. She may be used to being on to in affairs of the heart but this time things will change.
Branded as unmaarriageable, her family has called Lady Beatrix a vixen and she sees no rfeadons not to go after what and who she wants. And she want Stephen Fairfax-Lacy.
Lady Beatrix Lennox is supposed to be a wild child, & goes after conservative Stephen Fairfax-Lacy, Earl of Spade.
