Why do I always forget about Eloisa James when I am looking for a good read? Maybe its because I subconsciously want the joyful surprise I feel each time i stumble onto yet another of her books! Her characters are human, flawed but also appealing and easy to identify with;even the antagonists have reasons for their apparent bad behavior. The plot lines or premises may be outrageous, but that is the point of romance, no? And while many a lesser author has caused me to heave a book at the wall, Ms. James keeps me riveted and my disbelief safely suspended through every twist as improbable as it may seem in the cold light of reality. A 5 star read.
(Although I do keep wondering why,in the England of her novels, there seems to be a duke on every corner, as if the title was given out like free balloons at a bank opening.)
