When he gets back to the ballroom he discovers that she’s already engaged–to his brother. That stranger is the Duke of Trent, and he’s so smitten with Merry that he decides to pursue her. Merry is getting a breath of fresh air on the balcony when she meets a stranger, who is definitely handsome but not fashionable, and the two engage in some mild flirtation. Now she’s just accepted the proposal of Lord Cedric, the handsome, fashionable brother of a duke. She was engaged twice before and broke off both engagements when she realized that she’d made a mistake. Merry is in London looking for a husband because she has a bit of a reputation back in Boston.
When the book opens the heroine, Merry Pelford, an American heiress from Boston, has just accepted a marriage proposal–but not from the hero. I’ll make sure you know when the spoilers are coming.
Now, the structure of My American Duchess is a little unusual, which means if you want to go into this book totally spoiler free, only read the first half of this review. I am happy to report that My American Duchess was amazing and worked for me perfectly. So when she releases a new book, I’m always excited and a little nervous because I’m filled with so much expectation. Eloisa James is one of my favorite authors, and by favorite I mean I squeed so hard at her at RT that she may have taken out a restraining order.
