Publisher Description
A duke must choose wisely . . .
Leopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and nobly—and his choices, alas, are few. The Duke of Montague's daughter, Eleanor, is exquisitely beautiful and fiercely intelligent. Villiers betroths himself to her without further ado.
After all, no other woman really qualifies. Lisette, the outspoken daughter of the Duke of Gilner, cares nothing for clothing or decorum. She's engaged to another man, and doesn't give a fig for status or title. Half the ton believes Lisette mad—and Villiers is inclined to agree.
Torn between logic and passion, between intelligence and imagination, Villiers finds himself drawn to the very edge of impropriety. But it is not until he's in a duel to the death, fighting for the reputation of the woman he loves, that Villiers finally realizes that the greatest risk may not be in the dueling field . . .
But in the bedroom. And the heart.

"Apparently even the mighty Duke of Villiers is susceptible to idiocy. Really, Leopold, marry the psychotic blonde, why don't you? Idiot. I liked Eleanor even better than Jemma. In fact, I liked her so well that I'd probably let her annoying little dog pee on my carpet. If I owned one, that is. It's safe to say that I liked this book best out of the six."

" Really...someone like Leopoldo would spot a mad woman a mile away? I liked Eleanor but this book dragged on for me. Even Villers couldn't hold my attention. And 6 illegitimate children. really. "

" My favorite male and female characters. This is an excellent end to the Desperate Duchess Series. James out does herself with Eleanor and the Duke of Villiers. I would love to hang out with Eleanor, in fact, I've got some Eleanor's for friends. "

" James in fine form for the conclusion of the Duchess series. What I particularly liked about this one was that it took a while to figure out exactly which way we were supposed to root for the triangles to resolve themselves. "
