Eloisa James lainaa Todellinen prinsessa -sadun juonta, kertomusta prisessasta ja patjojen väliin piilotetusta herneestä, eikä lopputulos ihan mahdottoman muotopuoli ole: The duke is mine (Piatkus, 2012; ISBN 978-0-7499-5602-8).
Kirjailija on ripotellut romaaninsa täyteen muualta poimittuja ideoita ja juonenkäänteitä, alkaen kaksostytöistä jotka ovat menossa naimisiin, kilpakosijoista, ja monenlaisesta juonittelusta jossa reissataan paikasta toiseen, vankityrmäänkin saakka.
Tarquin, the powerful Duke of Sconce, knows perfectly well that the decorous and fashionably slender Georgiana Lytton will make him a proper duchess. So why can't he stop thinking about her twin sister, the curvy, headstrong, and altogether unconventional Olivia? Not only is Olivia betrothed to another man, but their improper, albeit intoxicating, flirtation makes her unsuitability all the more clear.
Determined to make a perfect match, he methodically cuts Olivia from his thoughts, allowing logic and duty to triumph over passion…Until, in his darkest hour, Quin begins to question whether perfection has anything to do with love.
To win Olivia's hand he would have to give up all the beliefs he holds most dear, and surrender heart, body and soul…
Unless it's already too late.
