A review by jrkrell
Desperate Duchesses by Eloisa James
3.0
Fun, fluff. Possibly a 3.5. Enjoyed the characters.
Roberta falls in love with a man she runs into, literally. She escapes from her father (the Mad Marquess) and goes to stay with a distant relative in London - Jemma. Jemma's brother promptly falls for Roberta. Villiers, who Roberta has fallen for, is intrigued by Jemma. Jemma has come back from France to do her duty to her husband, Beaumont, and conceive an heir - though since all they do is argue it might take a while. By the way the only non master chess player is Roberta.
