beckymmoe 's review for:
Wilde in Love
by Eloisa James
A new Eloisa James series--woot!
I absolutely adored Alaric and Willa's story--and cannot wait for more Wilde tales! (From what happens here, it's pretty clear who will star in the next two...or at least, who'd better star in the next two!) Alaric's character is a reasonable facsimile of a Georgian pop star...a reluctant pop star, because he certainly hadn't gone on adventures and written about them with the hope of endearing himself to an entire generation of young women. An entire generation, that is, except for Willa Ffynche, the one young lady in all of England who hasn't read his books and isn't impressed by his adventures. She doesn't even like fiction (her one major flaw, IMHO), preferring to read histories.
The banter in this story is spot-on and so much fun to read, and the Wilde family will clearly be a source of entertainment for books to come. (I lost track of exactly how many smaller Wildes are scattered through the nursery at at schools around England, but it's a lot. And they all seem to have delightful senses of both humor and fun, in addition to their prodigious drawing talents.)
Bring on book two! (No, really. Bring it on ASAP--the ending of chapter twenty-three is just cruel, Ms. James. You know what you did.)
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
