Histoire5 out of 5 stars 3
Gina was forced into marriage with the Duke of Girton at an age when she'd have been better off in a schoolroom than a ballroom. Directly after the ceremony, her handsome spouse promptly fled to the continent, leaving the marriage unconsummated and Gina quite indignant. Now, she is one of the most well-known ladies in London... living on the edge of scandal - desired by many men, but resisting giving herself to any one. Finally, Camden, the Duke of Girton, has returned home, to discover that his naÏve bride has blossomed into the toast of the town.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 4
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 decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury. A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.

As a child, Devlin Ware thought his family stood for all that was right and good in the world. They were kind, gracious, and shared the beauty of Ravenwood, their grand country estate, by hosting lavish parties for the entire countryside. But at 22, he discovered his whole world was an elaborate illusion, and when Devlin publicly called his family to account for it, he was exiled as a traitor. So be it. He enlisted in the fight against Napoleon and didn't look back for six years. But now his father is dead, the Ware family is broken, and as the heir he is being called home.

Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home...so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed. From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride...and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her.

Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. Her dear Scottish friend from childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered.

Auteur(s): Julia Quinn
Description
When you're the oldest daughter, you don't get to have any fun!
Witty, orphaned Tess Essex faces her duty: marry well and marry quickly, so she can arrange matches for her three sisters - beautiful Annabel, romantic Imogen, and practical Josie. After all, right now they're under the rather awkward guardianship of the perpetually tipsy Duke of Holbrook. But just when she begins to think that all might end well, one of her sisters bolts with a horse-mad young lord, and her own fiancé just plain runs away.
Which leaves Tess contemplating marriage to the sort of man she wishes to avoid - one of London's most infamous rakes. Lucius Felton is a rogue whose own mother considers him irredeemable! He's delicious, Annabel points out. And he's rich, Josie notes. But although Tess finally consents to marry him, it may be for the worst reason of all. Absurd as she knows it to be, she may have fallen utterly in love....

Narrator is wonderful
The book itself is ok. I’ll probably continue getting the series. This had too many “M” last names that got confusing for me. A lot of characters introduced, too many for me. I’ll have to listen to this a second time before getting them all straightened out. Also it’s a bit disconcerting when you read historical romance books and they say a$$. Not a fan. Not very romantic. But the series will do. I just want to listen to Susan Duerden and she does the whole series. Her voices are perfect.

A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED
Any additional comments?
I found this book to drag somewhat. There were so many characters and sisters and suitors and their mothers that I could not tell who was with who. With all of these people involved in this story, you would think there would be some romance a little steamier than a stolen kiss... maybe it's just me but I like my romance novels a little steamier than this one...sorry!

Little Women Meets Much Ado and Mustang Wild
Superb narration. Flawless. Decent story -- the first of a series, each featuring one of four orphaned Scottish sisters and riffing a Shakespearean play. This one, alluding to Much Ado About Nothing, is witty, sweet, funny, and explicitly smexy, but the pace is slow at times. Starts getting good after the half-way point. Totally loved the hero, Lucius, and his horse-whispering wife, Tess. Not crazy about the moonstruck sister, Imogen. Wish the author had reduced her role in the story.

Loved it!
Susan (narrator) did a wonderful job of expressing the characters emotions and voices. I have not liked all of Susan's narrations finding her singsong in the past annoying. However she has improved and her dramatization of the dialogue is superb.
The character development in this book was excellent. Each character had a personality that was recognizable and had depth. The story was creative, with sensuous and romantic love scenes that were not gratuitous but effective in developing the romance. The dialogue was natural and witty and one scene particularly poignant and realistic. Thank you Eloisa for a wonderful novel!

Too much misery..not enough romance
What disappointed you about Much Ado About You?
The plot and too many characters were confusing. It took me a while to figure out who the hero/heroine were. Their story was jumbled into all the other plot strings.
Would you ever listen to anything by Eloisa James again?
No. I give up on Ms. James. I went to my wish list and removed all of her titles. My first read of her's was "3 weeks with lady X", but nothing I have read has come close to that book. I actually re-read that novel and enjoyed it more ( after about the 10th time), more than this book
What about Susan Duerden’s performance did you like?
She is excellent. Even though I disliked the most sad/miserable scenes , her performance was so fantastic I started to cry. That is why this book was bittersweet for me. I did not want so much sadness in a romance, but Ms Duerdan's performances of these tragic characters is wonderful.
Whenever I listen to a book and their is a bad narrator, I always think " Susan Duerdan could have made the book so much better"
What character would you cut from Much Ado About You?
Imigen & Drayvan . There was very little about them I liked until their last scene together. They were both too selfish and focussed on only one thing. All they had that made them acceptable in the story was that they were beautiful...not enough when you can't see the character, just listen to their self-indulgent behaviour.
Any additional comments?
I wish Ms James would write as if her audience were adults. In the story she uses the phrase " and again" to infer that the h/h had sex. If she is not going to describe the scene, then don't bother to mention it. Another phrase " and an hour later" allows her to skip over scenes. Why refer to something you don't plan to describe?!?
Also I thought the scene where the parrot ( yes, a parrot in regency England) urinates on the heroine was stupid/nasty. The hero undresses the heroine afterwards to allow her to have a bath. They end up having sex instead of her cleaning herself. The thought of not taking steps to clean off the parrot urine, but go into a sex scene ( which ms. james does not describe..again) was awful. She took more time describing the parrot urinating on the heroine, than the love scene between the h/h. Not sure why, but someone really loves parrots!

Great narration, but the story…
I wouldn’t have guessed this is an Eloisa James novel! It’s ok, but not her usual standard. The characters are scattered at times, took me a good portion of the book to figure out which were the main characters. Even then, there is a lack of buildup to their relationship and I never saw any sparks. Too much of the secondary characters for at least the first half of the book.

Not my favorite
Not great, a bit tedious at times, slow going, not one of her best books. I did love the narrator though.

Don’t Love the Narrator
The narrator pitches up at the end of every sentence & it drives me insane. I know that’s more of a “me” problem…
The narrator made it hard to listen. Her voice is pleasing, but I don’t like the tempo, pitch, etc.

LOVED IT!!
EJ does it again! This book was excellent! You will feel all the feels! Never has a HR moved me to literal tears. The bond between the Essex sisters is beautiful. The narration was a little odd in the beginning, the whispery male characters in particular, but as the story starts to move along it all makes more sense. I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the series.!!
