Book 6: Duchess in Love

Duchess in Love by Eloisa James was an interesting story. It was lighter than the last couple of books I’ve read, and there were a lot of cute elements, but it didn’t grab me quite as much as I hoped it would.

The story tells of a wayward duke, Cam, who returns to England from Greece where he fled after a forced impromptu marriage between himself and his wife, Gina. Gina wants the marriage enulled because she wants to marry Sebastian, Marquess Bonnington. But in the meantime, Cam and Gina find themselves falling in love with each other.

This story is set in Regency England, at a house party. We meet a colorful cast of secondary characters, and there are lots of subplots thrown around, mostly involving Gina’s wayward and married friends.

Overall, this book was a pleasant read, but I never connected with any of the characters. There were some hysterically funny moments, but the story dragged a little bit and lacked a lot of the depth I’d have liked.

Rating: 85/100.
