More Information:Eloisa James returns with another fabulous romance in her New York Times bestselling Desperate Duchesses series!
As a young girl, Emilia Gwendolyn Carrington told the annoying future Duke of Pindar that she would marry any man in the world before him—so years later she is horrified to realize that she has nowhere else to turn.
Evander Septimus Brody has his own reasons for agreeing to Mia's audacious proposal, but there's one thing he won't give his inconvenient wife: himself.
Instead, he offers Mia a devil's bargain . . . he will spend four nights a year with her. Four nights, and nothing more. And those only when she begs for them.
Which Mia will never do.
Now Vander faces the most crucial challenge of his life: he must seduce his own wife in order to win her heart—and no matter what it takes, this is the one battle he can't afford to lose.

First Thought when Finished: Four Nights With the Duke by Eloisa James was an engaging story with likable characters. While I never really fell in love with Mia and Vander, their romance was entertaining and at time emotional. Not a favorite but still a good read.

This one sounds fun and like fun historical romances.
I enjoyed this one too. Not my favorite book from this author, but I really loved the characters.
Aww, this sounds adorable! I do love romances when the two main characters are married. Sorry it wasn\’t everything you\’d hoped:-D
Too bad you didn’t fall for the characters. Might be better if I read this one. Still not a bad story overall. Nice review!
Sounds fun to me 🙂
I have never read this author but it looks good!
Gosh! it’s been a long time since I picked up an Eloisa Jame’s book. I enjoy her books, although this one doesn’t sound like a total winner, you just reminded me to put her back on my radar 🙂
Thank you Felicia
I really enjoyed this one Felicia! It had been a while since I’d read a historical romance when I picked it up and it reminded me why I love them so much. I’m sorry Mia and Vander didn’t blow you away, but I’m glad it was a solid read for you overall!
I used to love James but then a few of her books had cheating and now I’m afraid lol
