Heartbreakingly romantic

One of my very favourite historical romance authors, Eloisa James does not disappoint with this heartbreakingly beautiful romance.

There were scenes and feelings in this book that left me feeling raw... Just wishing for Leopold to stop being such an idiot. For Eleonore to just grab him and elope!

Their romantic suspence nearly slayed me. Other times I was laughing and giggling over the scenes.

This book had everything I love and I am on to the next. I could not get enough and I found myself just wishing they had more books. I didn't want it yo end.

5 wonderful star crossed lovers stars from me!

While most of it was quite engaging, there were times when it just seemed a bit forced. Overall I did find it enjoyable and the two main characters were mostly entertaining, though I didn't really have a solid engagement with them or with what they looked like.

Leopold Dautry, Duke of Villiers is determined to find a wife who can cope with his string of by-blows. When he first meets Eleanor, the Duke of Montague's daughter, he proposes to her, and then finds that he's also attracted to the eccentric Lisette, daughter of the Duke of Gilner, who seems to also be perfect for his purposes. Can he find a woman who can cope with his children and satisfy him?

It's pretty predictable but it's interesting, nothing too deep but it kept me reading.
