REVIEW: Three Weeks With Lady X by Eloisa James

JennieB- Reviewshistorical romance13 Comments

Dear Ms. James: The title of your latest book calls to mind something illicit, if not downright salacious. The reality was a bit tamer, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Lady Xenobia India St. Clair was given an unconventional upbringing by two nobly-born but free-spirited parents. Since she was left ... more >

Dear Ms. James, Last year I read and really enjoyed your book When Beauty Tamed the Beast, yet for some reason I haven’t gotten around to diving into your extensive backlist yet. When I saw that The Ugly Duchess was available for review, though, the plot blurb drew me in ... more >

lazaraspasteB Reviewscinderella / Eloisa-James / Fairy-Tales / Historical Romances8 Comments

Dear Ms. James, When Jane sent me a batch of books for review, I was particularly excited to find A Kiss at Midnight in the pile. Over the years, I have come to expect interesting and realistically rendered characters from you; characters who often defy the clichés their roles in ... more >

REVIEW: Duchess By Night by Eloisa James

JanetBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C- Reviewsdisguise / Eloisa-James14 Comments

Dear Ms. James: It is tempting to compare Duchess By Night with those Shakespearean cross-dressing comedies, and indeed, there are some superficial similarities among the novel, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It. But it is not fair to push the comparison too far, because Duchess By Night is a ... more >
