The Night Before Christmas

I just Eloisa James's latest book in the Desperate Duchesses series. I powered through it in two days, so clearly I liked it. Her style is so readable--the dialogue is especially entertaining.

I did miss the exchanges between Villiers and the Ducchess of Beaumont, though. It troubled me that Jemma didn't seem to care that Villiers was on death's door for much of the novel and didn't seem in the least troubeld by it. Villiers is the character I want to read about, and when he spends an entire novel in a delirium, I can't help but feel a little disappointment.
