New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James writes historical romances for Harper Collins Publishers. Her novels have been published to great acclaim. A reviewer from USA Today wrote of Eloisa's very first book that she "found herself devouring the book like a dieter with a Hershey bar"; later People Magazine raved that "romance writing does not get much better than this." Her novels have repeatedly received starred reviews from Publishers' Weekly and Library Journal, and regularly appear on the best-seller lists.
After graduating from Harvard University, Eloisa got an M.Phil. from Oxford University, a Ph.D. from Yale and eventually became a Shakespeare professor, publishing an academic book with Oxford University Press. Currently she is an associate professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the English Department at Fordham University in New York City. Her "double life" is a source of fascination to the media and her readers. In her professorial guise, she's written a New York Times op-ed defending romance, as well as articles published everywhere from women's magazines such as More to writers' journals such as the Romance Writers' Report.

Josephine Essex has barely appeared at her first ball before she's labeled the "Scottish Sausage." What's Josie to do?
Fueled by the knowledge that notoriety is better than failure, witty, unconventional Josie does what no proper young lady should—she challenges fate. She discards her corset and flirts outrageously. She attends the horse races and allows an arrogant rakehell to whisk her behind the stables for a surreptitious kiss... and is caught!
She doesn't want to marry the young hellion—but who's to help? Her chaperone keeps disappearing for mysterious appointments; her guardian is on his wedding trip; and his friend the Earl of Mayne is too busy staring into the eyes of his exquisite French fiancée.
Can a marriage forced by stuffy convention and unwilling desire become the match of the season?
This novel has everything you could possibly want in a historical romance. Skillfully crafted with rich multi-dimensional characters, lush descriptions that help bring the period deliciously alive and layered with ribbons of humor that keep you smiling, Eloisa James' latest release, PLEASURE FOR PLEASURE, truly is a pleasure to read.
There are plenty of twists and turns to leave you guessing where the story is headed and it's great fun to see Josie blossom into the wonderful woman she is by the end of the book. The author showcases her talent for merging a terrific sense of humor with witty dialogue and this shines through in great style through the dialogue every time sparks fly between the characters on their journey from friends to lovers.
PLEASURE FOR PLEASURE is another winner by Eloisa James that marks her yet again as one of the best historical romance authors on bookshelves today. Please do pick up this book - it's pure delight!
