I closed this book with a satisfied sigh and thought, "Somehow, I'm taking 'A Duke of Her Own' and 'This Duchess of Mine' with me when I go!"

I do so enjoy reading books written by Eloisa James - what with her talent for drawing the reader into her stories. She patiently guides us through a clever maze of characters leaving behind enough clues and (most savory & delicious) breadcrumbs that we easily can retrace our steps back to any secondary character and pick up their story ... already emotionally invested in them! A most singular talent in a genre gutted with characters and inane repartee that's normally immediately forgotten.

There's substance to her writing. It's smooth and seductive and ever-so-satisfying.

So, huzzah for Elijah & Emma & Leopold ... it's been one heck of an enjoyable ending! And huzzah for Eleanor, who had the self-assurance & solid strength to be the *perfect* match for our infamous Duke of Villiers.
