Hugo takes one look at Ophelia and loses his heart, but she doesn’t want more children or a castle. She takes one look at him and heads for her carriage. Desperate to find a duchess, Hugo identifies an appropriate lady to woo. Yet when he meets Ophelia again, the duke realizes that he will marry her, or no one.

Miss Cleopatra Lewis is about to be launched in society by her aristocratic grandfather. But since she has no intention of marrying, she visits a costume emporium specifically to order unflattering dresses guaranteed to put off any prospective suitors. Powerful and charismatic Jacob Astor Addison is in London, acquiring businesses to add to his theatrical holdings in America—as well as buying an emerald for a young lady back in Boston. He’s furious when a she-devil masquerading as an English lady steals Quimby’s Costume Emporium from under his nose.

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club. Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried - and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss - to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston....

Description
Welcome to a world of reckless sensuality and glittering sophistication, of dangerously handsome gentlemen and young ladies longing to gain a title, of games played for high stakes, including - on occasion - a lady's virtue.
A marquess's sheltered only daughter, Lady Roberta St. Giles, falls in love with a man she glimpses across a crowded ballroom: a duke, a game player of consummate skill, a notorious rakehell who shows no interest in marriage, until he lays eyes on Roberta.
Yet the Earl of Gryffyn knows too well that the price required to gain a coronet is often too high. Damon Reeve, the earl, is determined to protect the exquisite Roberta from chasing after the wrong destiny. Can Damon entice her into a high-stakes game of his own, even if his heart is likely to be lost in the venture?

Eloisa James has my sense of humour
First before I start this I have to be upfront. I've read this book 3 maybe 4 times. In fact I have read the whole Desperate Duchesses series (same amount of times) This is the first Eloisa James book I have listened to. Well frankly it opened up a whole new world. To hear the words come to life in this book made me think of many of the characters in a whole new light.
This book is an introduction to a number of characters that then appear in their own books as part of the series. In this book we meet Lady Roberta St. James (who is the heroine of this particular story), her father Marquess of Wharton & Malmesbury (otherwise known as the Mad Marquess), Mrs. Grope (the Mad Marquess' paramour), the Duke of of Villiers (who will be a central character is the entire 6 books), the Duchess of Beaumont - Jemma, the Duke of Beaumont - Elijah and the Earl of Gryffyn - Damon Reeve....who appears to have a carefree attitude, but you keep your eyes and ears on what the Earl says and does. He is a in modern language - a Player...and he plays for keeps. Minor players are Teddy (read or listen to the series and you will find out who Teddy's mother is, and Harriet the Duchess of Berrow (Harriet is Book 3's heroine)
Lady Roberta decides she is in love with the Duke of Villiers having met him at a country ball, now is the time to warn you...Villiers is a Rake, brilliant and also a Player!
I don't want to give away anything, but the characters are just that characters! You feel badly when something goes wrong, you laugh (I mean really laugh) when a versifying Mermaid makes an appearance and you find out that even Rakes can fall in love and become reformed rakes.
Dear reader/listener....if you like historical (and sometimes hysterical) romance do not walk over to pick up an Eloisa James book......RUN! I can't recommend her enough!
