Martha asked Eloisa James:

How did you chose the title, Seven Minutes in Heaven? The title sounds like a near-death experience! A memoir like your Paris in Love book (based on your true life experiences living there). It took me some time to realize it is a sequel to Four Nights with a Duke. Of course, that intrigues me because the title threw me a curve for a few weeks.

Eloisa James Hello! Well, actually, the title was chosen by my editor. We were having trouble with titles starting with "five". Apparently Seven Minutes in Heaven is a high school game where two people end up in the closet kissing? It never made it to Minnesota, or at least to my farm town high school, so I wouldn't know. It's turned out to be great, because my hero offers my heroine seven minutes in heaven and she burst out laughing and says, Seven Minutes? Just like a man! (I'm loving my heroine!)
