Finally a good regency romance again

What did you love best about Three Weeks with Lady X?

I enjoyed the plot, but most of all I enjoyed the characters. Xenobia is witty, cleaver and a breathe of fresh air. Thorn has a wonderful sense if humor and is sooo sexy!! Their attraction to each of other was instant, but for more reasons than sexual chemistry. However there was plenty of that. They both thought about others above themselves, but eventually saw the inevitability of a union.

What other book might you compare Three Weeks with Lady X to and why?

I forget the title, but their was another regency that featured a heroine that did not want to marry. She had a talent for decorating and was also thought of by the ton as eccentric. She fell in love with a scientist.

Which character – as performed by Susan Duerden – was your favorite?

Thorn and his ward ( and of course her doll)

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Not sure they make these kinds of movies any longer.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy a good regency take a look!

Very Diverting

This is my favorite of the series but I must say it's Susan Duerden that makes this book so much fun. Her voice interpretations are so spot on and life-giving to the written word that I often listen to this book just for the narration. I do like the characters too that are believable and annoying when appropriate. The story is unique and different with lots of detail of the players. I must say I liked the first part of the book much better than the second half which was riddled with too much sexual content bordering on monotony. It wasn't quite consistent considering the time period. Too bad because I was really enjoying the storyline before that. It also diminished the character's integrity and took away from the story.

Great Story. Great Narration!

This was a great story. I really loved India\Xenobia character. Strong, smart, witty, independent. I really liked Thorne too. Handsome, a bit arrogant, smart and suave.
They had some great chemistry together. Great sexual tension and attraction. There were a few very well written sex scenes too, so this is not a rated G book.

The story line and plot were great, it flowed together very well. Lots and lots of great dialogue throughout the entire book.

I really got a kick out of Rose. She was 5 going on 30 sometimes, giving some LOL moments for sure.

As for the narration, it was great. Susan Duerden has become one of my favorites. She reads with such emotion, whispers, yelling, laughing etc.. if the story calls for it she does it. The men sound like men and everyone get their own distinct voice. Wonderful job SD!

Yes I totally recommend this book to historical romance readers!

One of her best

Such a beautiful story, beautifully told by the narrator. One of Eloisa James’ most touching romances was just the right note of passion and eroticism. Wish I could discover it all over again.

Great Writer and Great Reader

I love Eloisa James' books. She has a way of making her characters come to life as if the reader was glimpsing into people's windows and watching their lives unfold. The author does not follow a scripted type of character. Each book introduces people with different types of personalities and backgrounds. She also likes to throw together unlikely love matches. India and Thorn make a great couple. And . . Susan Duerden is one of my favorite narrators.
