In A KISS AT MIDNIGHT, Eloisa James added her Regency magic to the tales of 'Cinderella'. In WHEN BEAUTY TAMED THE BEAST, she made-over the classic story of 'Beauty and the Beast'.
In THE DUKE IS MINE, she visited the classic tale of 'The Princess and the Pea'. Now 'The Ugly Duckling' is next to have a Regency wand cast upon it...James's patented clever dialogue and complex characters make the unusual situation completely believable from setup to denouement - Publishers Weekly (starred)
Expertly infuses her latest fairy-tale love story with just the right ratio of tart wit and sensuality to create a hopelessly and hopefully romantic tale that will have James's fans swooning with delight - Booklist (starred)With the latest in her fabulous fairy-tale series, James' twist on the Ugly Duckling sweeps readers into an uplifting love story with just the right amount of poignancy, tenderness, sensuality and pure romance to make readers sigh. . . Kudos to James for encouraging us all to be ourselves and grab what life has to offer - RT Book ReviewsThe Ugly Duchess is a refreshing addition to the series. James always seems to write books that are 'unputdownable', but this book stood out . . . this book will stay on my shelf as I can always count on Eloisa James to deliver a nice warm read, that leaves you with the belief that there is a 'Happily Ever After' . . . - Book Chick CityA New York Times bestseller many times over, Eloisa James lives in New York City, where she is a Shakespeare professor (with an M.Phil. from Oxford). She is also the mother of two children and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.
