Welcome to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s
Favorites. In the
Wednesday’s Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I
think
deserves a little more attention. I read popular books, but also many
books
that aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all
sorts of
genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is
‘Four Nights With The Duke’ by Eloisa James, a book I read in April 2015.
The Book:
annoying future Duke of Pindar that she would marry any man in the world before
him—so years later she is horrified to realize that she has nowhere else to
turn.
Evander Septimus Brody has his own reasons for agreeing to Mia’s audacious
proposal, but there’s one thing he won’t give his inconvenient wife: himself.
Instead, he offers Mia a devil’s bargain… he will spend four nights a year
with her. Four nights, and nothing more. And those only when she begs for them.
Which Mia will never do.
Now Vander faces the most crucial challenge of his life: he must seduce his own
wife in order to win her heart—and no matter what it takes, this is the one
battle he can’t afford to lose.

Praise for ‘Four Nights With The Duke’:
It is a light, fast paced read and she balances tender moments and sweet
emotion with smoldering heat and dazzling dialogue too.
devastating happening to the H/h.
stories that stick to the same characterizations of regency romance, this is a
good one.
The characters are very well prescribed, their history is intriguing and the
romantic part is different but very addictive. It’s a lovely book to just enjoy
on a beautiful sun filled morning.
About the Author:
New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James writes historicalromances for HarperCollins Publishers. Her novels 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 repeatedly received starred reviews from Publishers’
Weekly and Library Journal and regularly appear on the best-seller lists.
After graduating from Harvard University, Eloisa got an M.Phil. from
Oxford University, a Ph.D. from Yale and eventually became a Shakespeare
professor, publishing an academic book with Oxford University Press. Currently
she is an associate professor and head of the Creative Writing program at
Fordham University in New York City. Her “double life” is a source of
fascination to the media and her readers. In her professorial guise, she’s
written a New York Times op-ed defending romance, as well as articles published
everywhere from women’s magazines such as More to writers’ journals such as the
Romance Writers’ Report.
Eloisa James is also the mother of two children and, in a particularly
delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.
