I had not read any of Eloisa James' books prior to reading her newest Duchess book, A Duke of Her Own, this past week. If this book is an indication of James' other books - particularly her Duchess series - then I deserve a kick for not picking up her books before this. In A Duke of Her Own, Leopold Dautry, the Duke of Villiers, needs to marry - and marry nobly.

I hope all of the heroes in the other Duchess books are as delicious as Villiers. I can't wait to scoop up the rest of this series. My take:
