Duchess By Night by Eloisa James
4.0

I enjoyed Duchess By Night more than [b:An Affair Before Christmas|896595|An Affair Before Christmas (Desperate Duchesses, #2)|Eloisa James|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348363669s/896595.jpg|881786] (Book 2), but it still wasn't as good as [b:Desperate Duchesses|641455|Desperate Duchesses (Desperate Duchesses, #1)|Eloisa James|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347643101s/641455.jpg|627645] (Book 1).

Using the cross-dressing trope to get Harriet to find herself again really worked for me, her self-discovery seemed more genuine than Poppy's.

I did think Strange's attraction to Harriett/Harry was a bit, well, strange. His mindset seemed to be something along the lines of "I think this guy is attractive, I must be turning gay in my old age."

I'm also really starting to like Isidore and Villers, looking forward to their books!
