The Season’s Reader chose Eloisa James’s THIS DUCHESS OF MINE as their June Top Pick. Congrats Eloisa! That makes two Top Picks for Eloisa this year. And if by chance you somehow missed this Top Pick selection, I’m giving away a copy to a random commenter.

eloisaNew York Times bestselling author Eloisa James’s historical romance have been published to great acclaim. A reviewer from USA Today wrote of Eloisa’s very first book that she “found herself devouring the book like a dieter with a Hershey bar.” Later People Magazine raved that “romance writing does not get much better than this.” Her novels have been finalists for the Romance Writers of America’s RITA awards – the highest romance industry honor; won the National Readers’ Choice Award for Best Long Historical, and repeatedly been named one of the Best Romances of the Year by Amazon.com and Borders.

384 pages

Wedding bells celebrating the arranged marriage between the lovely Duchess of Beaumont and her staid, imperturbable duke had scarcely fallen silent when a shocking discovery sent Jemma running from the ducal mansion. For the next nine years she cavorted abroad, creating one delicious scandal after another (if one is to believe the rumors).

Elijah, Duke of Beaumont, did believe those rumors.

But the handsome duke needs an heir, so he summons his seductive wife home. Jemma laughs at Elijah’s cool eyes and icy heart—but to her secret shock, she doesn’t share his feelings. In fact, she wants the impossible: her husband’s heart at her feet.

But what manner of seduction will make a man fall desperately in love…with his own wife?

  3. Oh please enter me !!! Jemma and Elijah’s story is my favorite from Eloisa James. It’s, IMHO, one of her sexiest stories. I’ve just loved reading that book (especially with all this enticipation building while reading the series). I already have it, but it’s an e-copy and I’d looove to have the REAL thing in my greedy hands 😉
    Great choice !!

  4. I’d love to win this book! I read the previous one in the series – the virgin Duke one – and I loved it. Another great series by Eloisa.

  12. I’m currently reading this very book! Love Eloisa’s duchesses series!! (No need to enter me in the drawing.)

  14. I have been a fan of Eloisa’s books for awhile now and would love to read this one. I like the covers for her books too.

  15. I just finished reading “An Affair before Christmas” and it was such a fun read! I’d love to be able to read more about the “desperate duchesses”!
    Please do enter me!

  16. I’ve read Eloisa books in the past and enjoyed them. I don’t have this one yet, but it looks and sounds amazing! So I really hope I win a copy!

  18. I would really like to win a copy of Elijah and Jemma’s story. Eloisa is one of my very favorite authors. With the exception of the very last book, I believe I have read everything she’s written. Love this series. Please submit my name for the drawing.

  19. I’ve read some of Eloisa James books and I’ve loved them! This book really looks good! I’d love to win it and read it!

  20. What a pretty cover.

    I’ve read three books in this series so far (1, 2, 4) and enjoyed each one more than the previous, so the last books in the series should be doozies.

  24. Eloisa,
    Your books are always so enjoyable. With all the reading I had to do at work, I missed this one. Keep up the wonderful writing.
    Have a great Holiday Season!

  25. This is one of my favorite romance book covers of all! The colors and the pose are appropriate for the time period and the story line. Sounds like a wonderful read!

  26. Matter of fact, I am currently finishing up Desperate Duchesses. I love the way Eloisa does dialogue. I think it makes the reader feel as if they are conversing with the characters, rather than reading about them conversing. And I love the story. Look forward to continue reading this series!

  29. I have enjoyed the “hints” left in the previous books about these two. Can’t wait to finally see who Jemma reels in her beloved after all the lovely dancing they’ve done around each other!
