Three Weeks with Lady X by Eloisa James

Three Weeks With Lady X by Eloisa James

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


So I want to confess before I start this review that I did not read the book featuring Thorn's father. I do intend to but I was so fucking excited when I found out that she was doing a series about one of the kids from the Desperate Duchesses series that I didn't care. I wanted that book and I have waited patiently for it.

It was often mentioned that Thorn was a lot like Villers. Again since I haven't read his book I'm not quite sure. But I feel like Thorn was less...cocky than Villers. Idk I can't quite put my finger on it. They were alike but different. I don't know. I am going off my impressions of Villers from four of the DD books so.

I really like India despite her ridiculous name. The grammar thing really endeared her to me. I also like that India and Thorn boned over their issues with their family. Family is a big theme with me. So I really liked those parts. And the parts with Rose! She really reminded me of an online friend with her somberness but acute eye you know? I really like that.

I give this book four stars. I really enjoyed it. I really did it. But I can't quite rate it five stars for some reason. But it is a really good book.

I was just thinking as I got ready to post this about something the title made me think about? It was of my ranting points about the YA genre that the H/Hr seemed to fall in love out of thin air? It irked me. It still irks me. But as I was thinking about that title and the fact that it happened in three weeks I'm starting to wonder. Am I hypocrite?

I mean the relationship times are similar. But I guess with the YA romances I've read the plot may be focused on something else. The main plot of a romance is the developing of a relationship so I suppose that might be why I don't feel like the relationships are as developed in the YA especially since my main reading genre at the time was paranormal romance so of course there's stuff going in the background so perhaps the romance gets rushed? Idk I was just thinking about that.

What about you? Do you think relationships in romance develop too quick? It can be either in the adult or the young adult genre. I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts on this.
