News & Updates

All of What’s New in Eloisa’s World!

For the most up-to-date info about the newest book, what’s coming soon, and more, this page has it all.

ESCAPE for only 99¢!

Potent Pleasures, Eloisa’s very first book, is on sale! Let the world fall away while you read about Miss Charlotte Daicheston, who sneaks into a masquerade ball and has a passionate, indiscreet encounter with (gasp) a footman.

Except…he’s no footman!

This book started Eloisa’s career, and many readers love it more than any other. It’s wild, passionate, and totally fun!

The sale price is available for Kindle, Nook, iBook, Google Play and Kobo. It is only available in the US unfortunately.

We don’t know how long Potent Pleasures will be on sale so grab it now. If you’d like to read an excerpt first, part of chapter four can be read on Eloisa’s website.​

For the Booklovers on Your Shopping List

How about putting a signed book (paperback or hardcover) from Eloisa on your holiday gift list? Eloisa is going into Book Culture tomorrow (Thursday, November 16) to sign books and if you call today (212-595-1962), you can order whatever book you’d like! Maybe an aunt would like Paris in Love, Eloisa’s memoir of her year in France? Or you would like Wilde in Love for yourself?

Eloisa is thrilled with sales of Wilde in Love. Not only did it appear at #7 on The New York Times bestseller list, but it was higher in some parts of the country—#3 in Washington, DC, for example!

Thank you from Eloisa James!

Wilde in Love is a bestseller! In fact, it’s the only romance in the top 10 on The New York Times bestseller list! I’m so grateful to my readers. Pre-orders and purchases in the first week made this possible!

If you registered your pre-order or purchase, Wilde Denial was sent out on Tuesday, and I’m already hearing about that sexy snow scene! If the link didn’t show up in your inbox, please check your spam folder and then write team@eloisajames.com.

I’d also like to send a huge thank you to everyone who took a moment to write a review of Wilde in Love on Amazon, Goodreads, their blog or anywhere. At the moment, Amazon is showing 108 reviews and 4 1/2 stars. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I am so grateful!

Huge hugs from Eloisa

Wilde in Love is Here!

Team Eloisa is bursting with excitement. We truly hope you love Wilde in Love as much as we do. This book has it all. Alaric is sexy. Willa is smart and witty. Sweetpea is precious, and the rest of the cast makes you wish you were invited to a houseparty at Lindow Castle! It’s been exciting to see the media love this book too. It’s been featured in both Cosmopolitan and Entertainment Weekly! As exciting as that is, your reviews matter most to Eloisa. If you could possibly take a moment to share an honest review on Amazon, that would be wonderful!

If you have registered your pre-order or purchase of Wilde in Love, 60 pages of Eloisa’s free companion short story, Wilde Denial, will be sent out the week of November 13. If you haven’t registered yet, you have until November 7. All formats from any retailer count.

Are you feeling lucky? Eloisa is participating in a blog scavenger hunt with great prizes! One of Wilde’s characters are being featured daily on a different blog, with a daily contest.

Wilde in Love Updates

If you are going wild waiting for the release of Wilde in Love, Eloisa just added another chapter to her website to help tide you over!

Two more reviews have Eloisa grinning from ear to ear. Booklist‘s starred review raves, “smart is the new sexy!” and Publishers Weekly loved the “exchanges of witty repartee and sensual innuendo.”

In case you missed it, the video Eloisa shot during the Wilde in Love cover shoot is on her website. The actors were so fun, and it was fascinating to see how a cover comes into being!

Wilde in Love Sneak Peek!

Bookish just named Wilde in Love as one of their Must Reads of Fall 2017! Here is what they had to say: “We know you shouldn’t judge books by their covers, but this one is giving us serious Colin-Firth-as-Fitzwilliam-Darcy vibes and that alone makes it a winner.​” You can now read chapter one on Eloisa’s website! You can also pre-order at all online retailers.

Would you like a signed copy of one of Eloisa’s books? Here is your chance! You can order any of her titles from the Li’L Book Bug bookstore and Eloisa will sign them while she’s at the Historical Romance Retreat. The bookstore will then ship them straight to you. All orders must be in by Tuesday, September 26.​

Did you know there is a special meaning behind the heroine of My American Duchess‘s name, Merry? Eloisa wrote a special prequel about Merry’s parents and the reason for her name!

Wilde in Love is “charming, romantic, & unexpectedly funny”!

Wilde in Love just got a starred review from Kirkus! “This new Georgian-set series about the aptly named Wilde family and its sprawling estate in Cheshire is full of her signature style: witty repartee between a sensual hero and a smart, unconventional heroine…charming, romantic, and unexpectedly funny.”

Have you pre-ordered? Because it would be a great way to ensure that your Halloween is a lot more fun than answering the door for 15 Harrys and 17 Hermiones!

Just an update about A Midsummer Night’s Disgrace. If you’ve pre-ordered, your retailer has sent you an email that your order has been canceled. The publication date has been changed to February 6. We’re so sorry about this! It’s going to be a better collection for the wait: we promise that!

Here’s something fun that was just added to Eloisa’s website in honor of her upcoming new Georgian-set series: Georgian jokes! Georgians loved to laugh and bawdy jokes were among their favorites, so we compiled a few of Eloisa’s favorites.
