I've enjoyed every Eloisa James book I've read, perhaps it's her day job as a Shakespeare professor that influences her writing. I enjoy the humor, strong women, and of course the love scenes. 😉 My American Duchess features one of my most favorite lead characters yet, Merry. She tends to rattle off random facts when she's nervous, which I completely relate to, and she is unabashedly passionate. Loved this book!

I've always been an avid reader of many genres, but the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon has challenged my thinking. It's not a romance, although there is plenty of love and sex, it's not fantasy, although there are elements of time travel, it's not historical fiction, although there is plenty of history. It's just a great story about relatable characters.
