Author Review: Eloisa James

I have been an Eloisa James fan for quite some time. I absolutely love historical romance novels. I have always enjoyed the fact that they are unique in the sense that not only are they incredibly romantic, but they take you back to a time much different than our own. Writing is hard enough, but to find an author who is devoted to creating relatable & in depth characters that the reader can fall in love with AND back their work up with hours of era specific research is just astonishing! Eloisa James's novels are truly works of art that can be enjoyed time and time again. I typically do not read novels again once I have completed them, but my collection of Eloisa books have been read and read again many times over.

If you have never dived into the world of historical romance, I would definitely suggest beginining with Eloisa James. Some of my favorite novels come from her Essex Sisters, Duchess Quartet, and Desperate Duchesses series. They are heartwarming, fun, & just a wee it naughty (there are several naughty scenes depicted in these novels, so as with most historical romance novels, I do not suggest these books for minors), but they are definitely wonderful reads!

The books are available in various prints, including kindle from Amazon.

Eloisa James: The Ugly Duchess

Those who know me, know how much I adore reading. My absolute favorite genre would have to be historical romance novels hands down! They are always full of romance, spice, and a happy ending... what more could you possibly ask for?!

One of my absolute favorite authors, Eloisa James, has given her loyal readers the wonderful opportunity of becoming ambassadors to help spread the word about her newest novel, The Ugly Duchess.


When I received my package in the mail, I was amazed at her generosity! I have already begun scribbling notes in my notepad, and my magnet has already claimed its spot on my fridge. I have a small group of friends who enjoy reading as much as I do, and I have already begun gifting my bookmarks! I have also been a little sneaky and have "forgotten" several bookmarks in books I have borrowed from friends. All of them are avid readers such as myself and were definitely pleased with not only a new bookmark, which is always better than bending page corners, but they were also pleased to learn about an author of their favored genre.

Editorial Reviews

How can she dare to imagine he loves her... when all London calls her The Ugly Duchess?
Theodora Saxby is the last woman anyone expects the gorgeous James Ryburn, heir to the Duchy of Ashbrook, to marry. But after a romantic proposal before the prince himself, even practical Theo finds herself convinced of her soon-to-be duke's passion.
Still, the tabloids give the marriage six months.
Theo would have given it a lifetime... until she discovers that James desired not her heart, and certainly not her countenance, but her dowry.
Society was shocked by their wedding... and is scandalized by their separation.
Now James faces the battle of his life, convincing Theo that he loves the duckling who blossomed into the swan.
And Theo will quickly find that, for a man with the soul of a pirate, All's Fair in Love - and War.
