Publisher Description
“Eloisa James is extraordinary.”
—Lisa Kleypas
“Nothing gets me to the bookstore faster than a new novel by Eloisa James.”
—Julia Quinn
New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James gives the classic Hans Christian Andersen story of “The Ugly Duckling” a wonderful, witty, and delightfully passionate twist. The Ugly Duchess is another fairytale inspired romance from the unparalleled storyteller whose writing, author Teresa Medieros raves, “is truly scrumptious.” A sexy and fun historical romance, James’s winning tale of a glorious reawakening does not feature ducks and swans—rather it’s a charming story of a young woman unaware of her own beauty, suddenly duty-bound to wed the dashing gentleman who has always been her platonic best friend…until now.

"James is an amazing writer. She creates the sort of romances I love--characters that live and breathe, detailed (if occasionally anachronistic) settings, and a refusal to play along with the sexist tropes that have shaped the romance genre for so long. I need to read more of her books."
— Nan (5 out of 5 stars)
The Ugly Duchess Listener Reviews

" I didn't really like this book. The characters were crap and the plot was weird. Disappointed really. =( "
— Caira, 2/8/2014 -
" Some parts dragged about, but still a good story. The bonus short story was uplifting. "
— Marcia, 1/31/2014 -
" Goodness between laughing and crying on my part, there was no down time in this book. "
— Marie, 10/11/2013 -
" I found the characters very interesting with their mistakes of youth and their growth both physical and emotional. Nevertheless, imo, they were not able to make the story shine. "
— Gianthogweed, 10/4/2013 -
" Disappointing. I didn't buy that our hero was a good guy, which made the whole thing pretty icky. I think Eloisa James phoned it in on this one. "
— Ashley, 1/23/2013 -
" These books are usually very entertaining and they always seem to make me laugh this one was just not as good as the others in the series. It was very drawn out and I thought there was a lot more that could have been done with the pirate and a duchess but it was still a good quick read. "
— Amanda, 1/16/2013 -
" Be warned, this book will turn you into a watering pot. Magnificent book. "
— Raynell, 10/18/2012 -
" Enjoyed this quite a bit. "
