About this ebook
font size="+1">'Nothing gets me to a bookstore faster than Eloisa James' Julia Quinn, bestselling author of Bridgertons
The third book in the New York Times bestselling Desperate Duchesses series, perfect for fans of Julia Quinn's Bridgertons and Eloisa's Wildes of Lindow Castle
'Choc-full of romantic heroes romantic heroes that would give Darcy a run for his money.' Carole Matthews
Disguise is a dangerous game . . .
After a lifetime as a wallflower Harriet, the Duchess of Berrow, is finally seeking a little pleasure of her own. And where better to begin than at the house of one of the most disreputable men in the country, Lord Strange?
The high-stakes games of lust and chance that rule Strange's household, however, mean that even being seen crossing his threshold could ruin her reputation forever. So Harriet swaps her hoops and corsets for a pair of breeches and transforms herself into a young male relative of the Duke of Villiers.
Before she knows it, Harriet is writing bawdy missives on behalf of a young actress, not to mention winning card games played by the most powerful men in England.
But when she starts attracting male attention, Harriet must decide whether to stay in her disguise - or to reveal that she's really a duchess by night . . .

If I never read another book by Eloisa James it will be too soon. She tries
too hard to be tittilating but only ends up being thoroughly b-o-r-i-n-g!
She goes on and on and on and if I kept page turning it was only to find
out if any progress is made. NADA!

This is the 3rd book in the Desperate Duchess series! Harriet/harry really comes into her own in this story! I really enjoyed the exploration of the role that gender plays in all things from desire to status to expected roles etc in this period.

The only author who is not boring was Johanna Lindsey and at the present, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Sara Maas. It's just my opinion but i literally read a thousand books already since my 14th birthday and now it's my 47th. It's in how a story can grip my mind to finish it overnight.
