Welcome to Litsy!

When work and life get complicated I like to spend some time before bed listening to a favourite audiobook book. Thanks to Libby I‘ve spent the last few weeks listening to this fun romantsy. My personal favourite of the series and I think North is my favourite character ( although Parth is a very close second)

Finished the tagged book. I'm so glad I have 4 out of ghe five books currently available in this series. As the author states in the first book, each ends on a cliffhanger. After the first book, I couldn't wait to read the pictures book where the characters are introduced. So while I'm not working as hard on my #bookspin I'm definitely marking off spots on my #bookspinbingo board! 😆

Taking a break from my #bookspin with this one. I love the Wildes so far. They're such a fun family. Enjoying the end of a three day weekend reading and listening to 1st Wave on SiriusXM.

Fun take on the “fall in love with the governess” trope. Loved these characters.

“Her voice #floated to him so softly that the words didn‘t sound like a question.”

So happy to have stumbled on this! ❤😍

Had a bad run with romances lately -- started and dropped several in a row -- but this one broke the streak. Delightful so far. Hero returns from war to find his former fiancé, who jilted him, working as a governess in his family's home... with a child in tow everyone assumes is his bastard. (More fun than it sounds!)

A nice, easy read with loveable characters and intriguing plots. Perfect if you‘re feeling a bit stressed and just need something you can relax whilst reading and a good time.

I definitely want to read the third book in this series but I think I‘ll read something else first and come back to it.

Enjoying some reading time on the beach in Barcelona! ❤️🇪🇸

I‘m not getting through this one as quick as the last one but only because I‘m so busy exploring Barcelona!

I started Too Wilde to Wed this morning on my plane to Barcelona! This was the view out the window of the Pyrenees mountains! 💙 A pretty good reading view I think! 😂

You know that thing where you put in your headphones to listen to a few minutes of your audiobook to lull you to sleep and the next thing you know it‘s 4am and you haven‘t gotten a wink of sleep because your book got real real good? Well, that‘s what happened to me tonight. This was a great #romantsy story from the brilliant @EloisaJames - definitely recommend if you need a lovely escape. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

So hot 🔥 so wild! A fabulous frothy audiobook! Dreaming of spring flowers.

Listening to this lovely audiobook, a great narrator, I do love a historical #romantsy. Thanks @EloisaJames for this fun read.

It's terrible outside: rain, grey, cold. So a cozy candlelight breakfast for one it is. Hot tea and hot chia seed and oats porridge, a book I neglected to read although I had preordered it, and my Ghost to keep me company - she's sitting next to the warm tea pot.

Whenever I think, @EloisaJames has written her best book yet and this must be my favourite, she surprises me with the next one that I fall in love with.

This is the best and I love it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 another fantastic read from @EloisaJames ❤️❤️ also I‘m completely obsessed with the Wilde family and need more!!

Love learning new words!!! Thanks @EloisaJames 🤓🤓

I enjoyed this second book in Eloisa James‘s newest series. Taking place in England around the revolutionary war it has an original take on the Duke romance trope. My one criticism would be it gets repetitive at times, but I did enjoy the characters and look forward to reading the next book in the series! #romantsy

Starting my #bookaweekchallenge with this lovely period romance. #romantsy

A secret baby/broken engagement story with two strong, honest characters who work hard for their happy ending. The dialog is sharp, the romance is sweet, and the other family members are funny and supportive. Really enjoyable.

The 1st book ended on a cliffhanger so I went on to find out more about North, who I liked in Wilde in Love. I really like North. I didn‘t have a high opinion of Diana from the earlier book and I‘m not liking her much better in this book. She has a big heart but is disorganized and not very resourceful. Hoping she will win me over by the end. I like the Wilde family though.

While I liked the hero, I found the heroine to be just a little tiresome and dull witted. I was more interested in the side plot lines for the other books in the series. Also, I hate the trope where the little orphan boy doesn‘t speak for 4 years, and then says exactly the right thing a la Little Timmy from Dicken‘s Christmas Carol.

What a delight this series is. Thank you @EloisaJames #romantsy

Dear @EloisaJames, my cat and I just read the next part of Wilde Denial. It had one of the best bed scenes I've ever read. 😁😁😁 Well-done!

“It was an interesting thought. Another river of relief, #cool and forgiving, washed over her. Diana brushed a kiss on North‘s neck by way of thanks. It was strong and corded, nothing like the birdlike necks of courtiers. “Will you tell me why you sold out?” “There‘s not much to tell.” His voice rasped. She snuggled against him and waited.”

This is the 2nd book in the series and just as good as the 1st. Now I must wait for book 3. 😩

1 “Lord Roland Northbridge Wilde—known to his friends and family as North—had been taught at his governess‘s knee that a gentleman defines himself by his respectful and decorous manner toward the fair sex.”

Book 2 of the Wilde series. Loved it as much as book 1. Have to wait until late July for book 3. 😔

My Saturday morning was finishing this. Love this series and excited for one on Parth up next! #romantsy

This NYT list is hugely gratifying—just look at the names of the authors ahead of me in the fiction list! (yes, authors are just as squirrelly as you think and can obsess over a bestseller list as if it were a Regency dance card with Darcy scrawled on it.) Thank you to all Littens who danced with Diana & North—I hope you loved the book! #romantsy #historicalromance #bestseller!

Diana and North‘s story was so lovely. When they met, they were both pretending to be different versions of themselves to impress each other. They work so hard to get to know the true versions of each other and themselves, it was a touching journey to observe. #romantsy 💕

I loved the story of North and Diana. I laughed out loud a lot, which is one of the reasons why I love Eloisa James's books. And a sentence near our HEA almost brought me to tears.

North has been changed by his time in the army, fighting for the Crown in the American colonies' war of independence. Diana has become a governess in order to protect a small child. They've both come a long way since the events of Wilde in Love.

5 ☆ I love the Wilde‘s and this hot series!🔥
The story focuses on North and Diana, their relationship is full of spicy heat behind the scenes while dealing with their past relationship/broken engagement + the new addition of a little guy Diana brings with her to Lindow Castle (where she‘s now employed as a governess).
It proves to be a REAL scandal for North as he‘s perceived to of fathered the child!
I enjoyed every bit of this delicious book!

I loved this book! North and Diana were so sweet with each other❤️ The Wilde‘s are becoming one of my favorite fictional families. I hope we get a book for each of the Wilde children🤞☺️ I‘m looking forward to Parth and Lavinia‘s book next, I can already imagine the witty banter from those two😏

Continuing this fun read on A lazy Sunday afternoon 💖 #romantsy

Too Wilde has a great review in the NYT Book Review today! I wish my mother was alive; she always wanted me to write a “real book,” and this review might have convinced her I was already doing it. The review says Too Wilde is about a sparkling love story between two friends. 💕💕

Starting this one tonight while my husband watches the Yankees

So excited about this book, it just released on Tuesday - I‘m grabbing a glass (or three 😉) of wine, putting my feet up and enjoying a much needed break tonight. 🍷🔥

Had to make the trip crosstown to pick up the latest by @EloisaJames. Started it on the bus home, of course!

#romantsy

#ARC #Review: Too Wilde to Wed by @EloisaJames with @AvonRomance. This second installment of the series had a great (and much-changed) hero returning home from the Revolutionary War.⠀

I am really enjoying this next installment ! But I‘m stuck at work and Nook for PC isn‘t loading the book. 😩 I only have 40 pages left and I wanted to read during lunch !!!!!

Oh boy I did not realize all these books released today. I‘ve got a lot to read in the next 14 days! 🤗 #libraryhaul

So I got a starred review from Library Journal today! I‘m so happy. I discovered Georgette Heyer in a Carnegie Public Library years ago so I still shiver with delight thinking of my books in libraries!

Two of my favorite authors have new books out today!!! I‘m so excited for both of these🤩🤩 #bookmail #happybookbirthday 🎉❤️❤️

It‘s too hot and I am reading in Lincoln Square instead of by the river or at the beach.

My story of a jilted future duke and an inept & independent governess publishes Tuesday! Register your preorder or purchase in the first week on eloisajames.com for a free novella!

The things I love most about Eloisa's books are the depth of the characterizations and the ingenuity of the storytelling. There is never a clear path to the all important HEA- Happily ever after. The situation seems unsolvable. The lovers seem bound for heartache. But it works out in a clever way as the pieces fit together unexpectedly. Great story I cannot wait for the next one in the series. Wilde for You #romantsy #keeper

Possibly the best @EloisaJames book to date. Have you preordered yours?

1. A great week, no complaints 🙏🏻
2. A book or flowers for my outdoor planters 🌸🌼
3. Too Wilde To Wed, releases 5/29
4. A grilled brat w/beer + brat horseradish mustard
