After playing an incredibly important -- and often scantily clad -- role in the four previous Desperate Duchesses books, it is finally time for Jemma to get her own story.Scandalous Jemma Beaumont and proper polititian Elijah Beaumont were always like oil and water. It came as no surprise to anyone when Jemma left to thrill all of France with her antics shortly after their wedding. But no one expected her return home ready to play the part of “dutiful” wife... least of all her husband.
Eh. I thought I'd like this one more considering Gemma and Beaumont's story has been unfolding in the background of the last four books. I did like that the epilogue showed them much older than the other ones usually do and included some past characters.
