He thinks love is for fools and it's not something he wants in his life. How could I not be intrigued?Īs the series progresses, our not-so-pretty and not-so-nice hero is jilted by two different fiancés. The more he was admired, the more cynical he became. Our Villiers didn't have the best of profiles, but he seemed to have the sex appeal and fire to attract the Georgian ladies like months to a flame. In Desperate Duchesses, Villiers was portrayed an arrogant Duke with a dismissive and cynical outlook for the ton I couldn't help but admire. He was a man of contradictions who seemed to care much for his outward appearance a true rake who didn't think twice about having illegitimate children with his mistresses, and an egotistical chess player who thought he was the best and didn't have a problem saying so. He is one of the most interesting characters of this series and one I fell in love with from the first. This is the story that we have all been waiting for - we finally find out what happens to Leopold Dautry, the Duke of Villiers. A Duke of Her Own is the last installment in Eloisa James' Desperate Duchesses historical romance series.
