    Ugh.
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017*

This series is kind of all over the place for me. The first book, A Kiss at Midnight, was okay – I had some serious issues with the heroine. The second book, When Beauty Tamed the Beast, I absolutely adored! This book…I’m just not sure.I wanted to like it, and some aspects I did. There were moments of true enjoyment, and romance throughout this book, and I did devour it. So what’s my problem? It left a bad taste in my mouth. And I feel badly saying that because I always ask for more nuanced characters. These are definitely that. I don’t think there’s a single character that’s simply good or bad. There’re none that are inherently honorable or villainous.Olivia has been affianced, since before she or her betrothed were born, to a (to-be) Duke. It’s mentioned several times throughout this book that her fiancee, Rupert, is a bit different in the head. Truth is that he’s mentally challenged due to a lack of oxygen at birth. Olivia’s never wanted to be the “proper” Duchess. She’s always been a bit off-key and liked herself that way. Her parents have always been fanatical in pushing her (and her sister Georgiana, whom I’ll get to later) into being “duchified” so they can make an advantageous match.My problems started early when I noticed that Olivia and Georgiana were making fun of Rupert. This wouldn’t have necessarily bothered me, but it became clear fairly early that he wasn’t a jerk, wasn’t an idiot. He was a sweet boy, too young for Olivia to be sure, and mentally challenged to boot. I get Olivia’s frustrations, and I understand her voicing them in private, especially in regards to her own ties to a match she didn’t want. But it still wasn’t admirable. Olivia did come to defend Rupert, protect him and his secrets, and care for him deeply shortly thereafter, so I’m not entirely sure what the point was of having her make fun in the first place. It could have been handled differently – and should have been.And though that is enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth, Olivia’s behaviors from shortly after to the end of the book made me able to keep reading. But then there was Georgiana, who struck me as selfish, spoiled and self-centered. Again, I understand, she’s trying to make a good match, but she berates her sister – simply for being herself – and makes her feel like crap because she worries about herself. And I do get it, familial behaviors reflect on the entire family in the ton. But …. *sigh* …. I would have liked a stronger bond between them. At one point Olivia says that something Georgiana said was “the nicest thing she’s ever said to her” – and it wasn’t even a compliment! What the heck? That’s the nicest thing she’s said to her twin sister? Ugh.The convenient tidying up towards the end was also eye-roll worthy. I wanted the characters to face the fall-out of their decisions. They were prepared to, and I wanted to see it. I wanted to see them work harder for what they’d decided to fight for. In the end it felt like it was all cleared away so they wouldn’t have to fight at all. And that made all the tension seem worthless.Also, the Princess and the Pea aspect…kind of non-existent, or tossed in because it needed to be. I could have lived without it.

    Skip This Fairy Tale
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016*

I liked this book least of all of James' Fairy Tale books.  Instead of just telling the story and letting the reader make connections to a fairy tale, she spends the first third of the book hammering in that it is a fairy tale, and making comparisons of her characters to those in fairy tales.  The characters are shallow, and the plot makes no sense, particularly for that era.  The thought that parents would insist that their children consummate their engagement (NOT marriage) while they wait in the next room, and then tell friends and neighbors about it, is beyond belief.  While this is a minor part of the book, occurring early on, it is so far-fetched as to make the reader suspend belief, and any good novel should let the reader feel the emotions of the characters and believe in the plot.  This book was particularly disappointing to me since her book WHEN BEAUTY TAMED THE BEAST is, I think, my favorite book, which I've read ten times.  If you want a book with lively characters, witty dialogue and a believable plot, skip THE DUKE IS MINE.

    REALLY wish she hadn't quit this series!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017*

Eloisa James is my favorite romance author by far.  I have read more of her books than anyone else's and I have a very high opinion of her talent and her stories.  But I especially LOVED this Fairy Tale Series.  I confess that I did not read them in order, but there isn't a need to.  At first, I thought that "The Ugly Duchess" was my favorite (back when I had only read that one and "A Kiss at Midnight").  But upon reading all the others, "The Duke is Mine" has turned out to be my very favorite of them all.  Followed by "Once Upon A Tower", "When Beauty Tamed the Beast", "the Ugly Duchess", and "A Kiss at Midnight".  Now I'm sad that there aren't any more books in this Fairy Tale series, because I enjoyed them all for different reasons and I would love to have more to look forward to.  But I do understand that all good things must come to an end someday, right?  In any case, I highly recommend this author and this series to anyone who is interested in a good romance with charming characters!
