I’d love to read Tobias’s book. He was a bit of a stereotype, but I didn’t care. :D

I can’t find it now, but I read somewhere that the Desperate Duchesses series was meant to be a quartet, but was expanded to 6 books because the Jemma/Elijah story was too big to remain a subplot (like the Esme/Sebastian plot in the earlier Duchess quartet) and because Villiers needed a story too. He’s been rejected I think about 4 times that we know of, so I thought he was the Mayne of this series.

In her FAQ, Eloisa has said that of this series, she would be most likely to return to Villiers’ kids and once a series ends, she’s usually already moved onto a new world with new characters. At the moment she’s working on a Cinderella-type fractured fairy tale. A Kiss at Midnight will be released next year.

She might start a new series and incorporate whichever character got left out. She did it for Mayne (after two rejections, ha!).

That’s right! I haven’t even logged into Eloisa’s site for the Extra Chapters she posts. Any resolution would have to be there because A Duke of Her Own is the last in the Desperate Duchesses series.
Do you know if there are new Easter Eggs? I love those too!

Re: A Duke of Her Own
I bet she’ll make another story to tie up loose ends. I read the epilogue on her website. Everyone seems to be happy.
