He has a bit of bad boy streak, but not to the extent of his father’s reputation. As for Thorn, oh boy! He may be one of my favorite James heroes to date! I adored him and the scars of his past. I won’t go into details because I want you to discover this side of her. One that is cool and collected and very much the type of lady society expects and then there’s the side that only Thorn gets to know. Everyone assumes she’s had everything at her feet because of her family, but instead she’s had to make her own in the world. India is in a unique position in that, she’s a daughter of a Marquess and yet one that is impoverished.
There are no spoilers and you can even go back to read Leopold’s story, A DUKE OF HER OWN, and not miss anything since both are good standalones.We have good characterization and James does a great job letting us spend an equal amount of time with both India and Thorn. I loved, loved, loved meeting Leopold Dautry, the Duke of Villiers in James’ Desperate Duchesses series and when I heard his illegitimate son, Tobias, was getting a book, I couldn’t resist the temptation to read it! Ah, THREE WEEKS WITH X was everything I wanted! If you’ve never read James’ Desperate Duchesses series it’s not necessary to do so in order to enjoy THREE WEEKS WITH X. I hope you'll read it.Įloisa James is one of those authors who are hit or miss for me. I didn't struggle too much in which category I'd place this story so instead of "amazing" it went into "liked a lot".
I reveled in their charming banter through their correspondence I chuckled and laughed out loud at the absurdity of the whole situation these two find themselves in and I loved the heart of this story, two perfectly unique people that had to go through a lot in order to recognize the love they felt for each other.ĮJ does an excellent job in creating fully fleshed out secondary characters and in this case I really wish she'd written at least a novella with Lala and her doctor, whose little romance was a wonderful secondary plot of this story. In order to impress the parents, especially his future mother in law, his stepmother hires a Lady Xenobia, an independent thinking woman and an exquisite ton decorator.ĭespite finding the story predictable, I had so much fun reading it. He is aware of how society perceives him and he's made up his mind that only a real Lady would suit him as a wife, and thus he acquires an estate, albeit run down.
Since young Tobias never liked his given name, he went by Thorn. He was acknowledged by his father and raised in his fathers household. In the sixth book of the Desperate Duchesses series we meet a thirteen year old bastard son of the Duke of Villiers, Tobias.
