Say YES to Eloisa’s next book, Say No to the Duke, book 4 in the Wildes of Lindow Castle series. Betsy’s story is coming June 25, 2019. The cover was revealed last week on culturess.com, and the reviewer said this about it:

“Betsy gets to star on the cover all by herself. Say No to the Duke doesn’t really rely on the fact that its heroine is unclothed. Instead, she’s overdressed, with a dress pulled away to reveal breeches and boots underneath. Don’t worry, though: it’s plot-relevant. Even if it weren’t, it’s a great character note for Betsy. We know she’s a bit adventurous, to put it mildly. Why wouldn’t she don men’s clothes and go out on her own?”

You can read the full Chapter 1 excerpt (longer than any excerpt previously posted anywhere!), and pre-order your copy.

Say No to the Duke is a full six months away, but you can binge this series in the meantime!

Eloisa is thrilled! Apple Books picked ten books out of ALL the books released in 2018, and Too Wilde to Wed is one of the ten! The Apple Books review calls the book “delightful.” Would you like to start reading? Of course you do! The EloisaJames.com excerpt for Too Wilde to Wed starts at the very beginning with the book’s Preface and Chapter One. Buy your own copy to keep going!

Library Journal calls the whole Wildes of Lindow Castle series “delicious” as they put Too Wilde to Wed on their 2018 Best Book list. With the holidays upon us, give yourself a delicious gift. Indulge in WILDE EXCERPTS: Book 1 (read / listen), Book 2 (read / listen), Book 3 (read / listen).
