Eloisa LIVE Tonight!

Tonight (Tuesday, May 22) at 7pm EST, Eloisa will be Live on her Facebook Page, answering questions about the Wildes and reading aloud a bit of the novel—please join us!

In one short week, Too Wilde to Wed will be unleashed into the wild and your e-reader! We hope you’ll love it: Booklist starred their review because of “potent sensuality [and] a deliciously dry sense of humor.” RT BookReviews gave it a Top Pick and declared it “destined for readers’ keeper shelves.” And Fresh Fiction called North and Diana “sweet and sexy!”

If you have any trouble with the form on Eloisa’s website, shoot an email to preorder@eloisajames.com. We’re sending out the novella in early June so don’t miss it!

What to read while you wait? We at Team Eloisa have been raving about the Royal Wedding, and Meghan’s graceful adjustment to high society. We couldn’t help thinking about Eloisa’s My American Duchess, because Merry isn’t quite so graceful! All the same, Merry’s duke kissed her as sweetly as the prince kissed Meghan.

Two Weeks to Too Wilde To Wed!

We can’t wait for you to read North and Diana’s story! In the meantime, Eloisa will be reading a fabulous excerpt on her Facebook page TODAY, May 15 at 7pm EST. We love the scene she’s chosen to read and we just know you will too. North and Diana are playing a game of True or False!

Waiting for the Royal Wedding? Starting Friday at 6am EST, Eloisa will be participating in a Facebook Hop to celebrate!. She’ll be giving away five signed copies of My American Duchess on her page. There will be prizes at each of the twenty-seven stops and then a Grand Prize of a Kindle Fire!

Make sure to preorder Too Wilde to Wed and then register it. Eloisa has been hard at work on the next portion of Wilde Denial and we can’t wait to read it. The last portion ended in the bedroom; what could possibly happen next?

See the Steamy Cover for Born to be Wilde!

Entertainment Weekly is debuting the hot Born to be Wilde cover—and they have a sizzling scene from the book to go with! If you have preordered Born to be Wilde already and would like to register for that portion of the free short story, Wilde Denial, simply email us at preorder@eloisajames.com.

Where the Wildes Are!

We are very happy to share that the Wildes are so popular that Harper Collins asked for three more Wildes of Lindow Castle! Team Eloisa is hoping for even more than six. Who doesn’t want to see Artie in the ballroom instead of the nursery?

The countdown to Too Wilde to Wed has begun! We’re planning website updates, social media goodies and of course, reminding Eloisa to write the next thirty pages to Wilde Denial. If you’ve preordered Too Wilde, make sure you register it on the website so you get the free story. How is Eloisa possibly going to top that sexy snow scene?

The stepback for Too Wilde to Wed is now on Eloisa’s website for you to enjoy. The artist did a great job capturing North and Diana—especially the fiery red hair she used to cover up with a wig!

 

Too Wilde’s First Review

We are just wild about Booklist’s starred review of Too Wilde to Wed here at Team Eloisa! This sentence is so fabulous we couldn’t even trim it down. “James again elevates historical romance to sublime new heights through the lithe elegance of her writing, her exceptional gift for creating richly nuanced characters, and her ability to flawlessly marry potent sensuality with a deliciously dry sense of humor.” Have you preordered this “sublime” novel yet and registered your preorder so you receive the next installment of Wilde Denial?

Are you on Instagram? Eloisa’s having a blast sharing some of her favorite books, reader art, fun with her author friends and loads of giveaways! You can follow her at @eloisajamesbooks.

The next edition of Eloisa’s Five Fabulous Things will be going out in a couple days. Make sure you open it! We’re sharing a tidbit from Too Wilde to Wed and Eloisa’s giving away five coin purses she picked up in Italy to share with readers!

 

Audible Loves Desperate Duchesses!

Audible has just released their Romance Essentials list – the 50 books they believe are must-listens for romance fans. We are excited to say that they included Desperate Duchesses! They gave it a lovely review too. “Lady Roberta St. Giles has led a sheltered life and has very specific plans for the sedate married life she seeks. But Damon Reeve, the Earl of Gryffyn, has other plans for the young woman, who goes from a potential plaything to his beloved, even as she comes to see that he’s the one for her. Historic romance queen Eloisa James kicks off this new Georgian series by proving why she’s known for richly woven regency stories with an interesting cast of characters and delightfully witty dialogue, as Rosalyn Landor embraces it all and immerses you in the period and wraps you in their delicious spark.”

You can buy this “richly woven regency story” for only $4.95 for two more days. The sale ends on February 25. You do have to be a member of Audible to purchase, but you can try them for free for 30 days! If you’d like to sample Desperate Duchesses, here is a short audio excerpt on Eloisa’s website.
