Fueled by the knowledge that notoriety is better than failure, witty, unconventional Josie does what no proper young lady shouldshe challenges fate. She discards her corset and flirts outrageously. She attends the horse races and allows an arrogant rakehell to whisk her behind the stables for a surreptitious kiss . . . and is caught! She doesn't want to marry the young hellionbut who's to help? Her chaperone keeps disappearing for mysterious appointments; her guardian is on his wedding trip; and his friend the Earl of Mayne is too busy staring into the eyes of his exquisite French fiance. Can a marriage forced by stuffy convention and unwilling desire become the match of the season?

Josie was not my favorite- too young seeming

I always enjoy a romance novel to escape with and this one seemed like it would fit the bill and with a curvy heroine no less; however, I didn't enjoy as much as other works of hers. Too many characters all getting romance and while the romance was nice, my jaded mood was not looking for that. The sex was too romantic and not hot enough. I didn't read the first 3 so not sure if I would have been more invested in this if I had

sammisho She is!!! One of my favorite romance authors! 7y
EloisaJames I love the sound of that--both the compliment and floating in a river! I think I'll see if I can get my current characters on a river (they definitely really need to relax after all the quarreling they're doing). And @swishandflick, thanks for the shout-out! 😘😘 7y

#seasonsreadings2016 #inthemoodforlove. I'm an eclectic fiction reader. I enjoy most genres especially if there's a bit of romance. But pure romance is my favourite getaway from stress and I just want to have a happy ending 📚#catsofLitsy

This is the back cover of a thrift store find. I texted a photo to my friend, saying, "Such a realistic cover - so many times I've been caught in the rose garden with my lover, only to find I've forgotten underwear as we undress in public." She replied, "I remember when they took this photo of me. Ahh, grad school!" ? #somethingforsept #shadesofblue

LibrarianToujours When we find covers like this while weeding at work, we cut them off and hang them in the kitchen. We have quite the collection. 8y

The Essex Sisters Series wraps up with Josie's story. I really enjoyed the description of Aunt Cecily's turret room. It seemed like a perfect reading room! I enjoy the Shakespeare references and that Josie loved to read. I also liked the side story with Griselda.

EloisaJames This is an older book but I still remember how much fun it was to create that turret, and especially Mayne's cross dressing lesson. Glad you enjoyed it! 8y
Karenlovesbooks @EloisaJames I was laughing out loud during the walking lesson! I've read most of your newer books, so I've gradually been going back to the older ones to catch up. 8y

Found this delightful bit of fluff in my desk drawer... I remember really getting into Eloisa James' weird Shakespeare inspired books when I was in college... But I don't remember reading this one... Might have to give it an afternoon. 😉
