Three Weeks with Lady X was an unusual experience, and my first encounter with Eloisa James's writing. The plot is at once simplistic yet complex, the characters an intriguing puzzle, to which nothing is as it seems.

Lady Xenobia India St. Claire, daughter of a deceased marquess, is a highly sought-after interior designer (in modern terms) by members of the nobility. Since the age of 15 she has done this with her godmother, and by 26 she's decided it's time to marry -- not for love, nor security, but for a want of children. Unbeknownst to her, another man had the same idea.

Tobias (Thorn) Dautry, the eldest bastard of the Duke of Villiers (hero of A Duke of Her Own), has more money than he knows what to do with it. Due to an incident, he spent his childhood in London slums, which honed a deadliness in him that never went away, even when he was declared to be a duke’s son at the age of 6. Deciding it’s time to marry as well, Thorn is adamant on Laetitia Rainsford, a nice, beautiful young lady who sadly lacks intelligence. Thorn’s goal was to find a wife who would cherish and never abandon his children, which makes sweet Laetitia a perfect candidate. The only problem? Wooing her parents to the match.

In preparation to impress Laetitia’s fastidious mother, Thorn’s stepmother, Eleanor, requested India’s aid in renovating his new country estate, much to the displeasure of both. Yet, Thorn and India soon finds themselves with much in common, including a desire that cannot be doused. But the biggest question remains, when Thorn is bent on marrying Laetitia, how would his feelings for India factor in the three weeks they have at his estate? Moreover, would Thorn suit India’s wishes in a husband?

Let me start by saying that Eloisa James was my gateway to the more recent historical romances: I was a reader, but my library until recently was comprised of the titles that featured Fabio and his contemporaries as cover models, colloquially termed “Bodice Rippers”. But, my more recent reintroduction to the genre came from the pen of Ms. James, and I haven’t looked back since.

Three Weeks with Lady X is an emotional ride, from the lush descriptions to setting scenes to characters that are developed to breathe and capture your attention. Lady Xenobia India is the orphaned daughter of a Marquess. Needing to find a way to support herself after her parent’s untimely death following a highly unconventional upbringing, India is a “fixer” and caters to the toniest of the ton: her decorating prowess is legend, and her godmother’s connections and constant companionship have kept India’s reputation intact.

India is good at what she does; she has the eye for both furnishings and people, and is able to match settings and staff to the most difficult of clients. As a beautiful woman, she has learned to present herself deferentially to the woman of the house, and her inability to see just how attractive she is, even with men falling at her feet make her even more attractive. She is clever and honest, always thinking about her next move and with a strong sense of right and wrong. While she knows that marriage is a must and she dearly wants children, the idea of love is both foreign and frightening to her as she watched her parent’s love exclude her.

Thorn, or Tobias is one of several ‘wrong side of the blanket” children fathered by the Duke of Villiers.
