ipomoea 's review for:
My American Duchess
by Eloisa James
Lovely! I always wanted more American heiresses in regencies beyond Kleypas' wallflower quartet.
ETA: I've sat on this on for a bit.
What I liked: Merry! She's very much her own woman and honest about her faults. I liked Trent, but not nearly as much as Merry. I'm excited to see the inevitable sequel about Trent's brother, whose story, I think, has much more potential for a meaty novel than this one.
What I didn't like: the way Merry and Trent end up together is just too pat, it didn't seem realistic (shut up I know it's a romance but I want some realism). Trent must be a HUGE downer around his married friends if he's convinced love is bad.
Overall, I still really enjoyed this and will be happy to suggest it to folks, especially people who love both Downton and romance.
I received an advance copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
