Review: Eloisa James always delivers

I was delighted to stumble across this free novella from one of my favorite authors.  Once again Eloisa James has delivered a delightful story (with some familiar faces from a previous series making a cameo!) Eloisa's dialogue is witty, her descriptions are very visual, and her characters are true to the era.  Given the fact that she is a professor of Shakespearean studies in her "day job" I would have expected nothing less... and she didn't disappoint.  I often download "novellas" for free here, and am so put off by the horrid spelling, grammar and plot lines being so anachronistic that I wonder if the author ever looked at reference material... Heck, did they ever watch a BBC adaptation of an Austen novel! Not Eloisa.  The story moved along at a great pace, my only complaint was that this story could have been a complete novel, the characters were! Fans of Mary Balogh, Lisa Kleypas, Connie Brockway, Theresa Medeiros and Christina Dodd will enjoy this author if they have never sampled her stories!
