Review:I enjoyed this book overall, but it was slow moving. It took more than a few chapters to get into it, and I wasn't fond of Diana. I was confused about why she didn't leave North a note when she left. Also, North didn't seem to fight for Diana, or care if she married him, until the end of the story. Read more

Review:I'm using my personal copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads

4 stars

Genre: Historical Romance

Eloisa James is a favorite of mine when it comes to Historical Romance. I enjoy the author's voice, the easy flow of the story, the fast pacing, and the way she gives just enough but not too much description. Most of the books feature a strong sense of family, whether it be making sacrifices for the family you already have or the quest of creating a family of your o... Read more

Review:I love Alaric, I like Willa, her best friend Lavinia, his best friend Part, and his brother, North, heir to the Wilde Dukedom. Truly Good story, love the quirky Duke's family! Great Characters, even the pets are unusual! This the wittiest story told by Eloise James! I deducted one star, for the use of the term Giggle, she use it correctly, while describing these girls without a brain, falling for a man falsely portrayed in a play. However, to describe the intelligent, mischievous Willa, it isn't... Read more

Review:As always with this author I find myself unable to put this book down! Such a great read with strong fabulous characters. can't wait for the next adventure. What new story and characters to fall in love with. She enacts my emotions. Read more

Review:It is a common enough theme in romance novels where the lucky couple get together briefly, have some fun, become tragically parted, and then regroup a few years later, older and wiser. I think the best of these books have a quick introduction line that says something like "Ten years later . . ."

Ms. James' book instead goes over the seven years that this couple is apart laboriously. The ugly duchess starts several successful businesses, while her erstwhile husband is playing pirate with a... Read more

Review:I am loving this book! I am only halfway through at this point, but am loving this segment of the saga even more than the past ones. The writing of Naomi Novik is so creative and descriptive, it almost makes you feel that you are there. Read more

Review:This is an enjoyable alternate Universe regency England era book, featuring an upstanding captain and the dragon for which he comes to care. His Majesty's Dragon is definitely a first book in the series, setting up the characters and having them go through training to prepare for more action in later books.

Story: Navy Captain Will Laurence finds himself with a prize: a captured French ship with a dragon egg in the hold. But the egg is hardening and about to hatch and a person must be pai... Read more

Review:I got this series for my 22yr. old son and he loved them, he said he could'nt put any of the books down. He also commented on how well they are written. He is highly anticipating the next insallment!!! Read more

Review:First book was readable and engaging, but by the wranglings of the third book I'd lost interest. I'm still vaguely interested to find out what happened to the English friends left behind, but not enough to buy the next book. Read more

Review:This book was much harder to read than the first just because it was so uncomfortable. The exploration of how the other is treated in two different societies and the pros and cons of both is good and valuable, but it was slow and painful because the outcome of the conflict in this book was based on Temeraire choosing between the two options and it was so long and drawn out.
