Wicked Mourning by Heather Boyd is an erotic Regency romance.  If Jane Austen wrote smut, this would be it, a saucy blend of clever banter and steamy sex.Clara Blackstone is the pregnant widow of a philandering husband.  She's been residing at the country estate of Reginald Moore, the widower whose wife was Mr. Blackstone's paramour. Clara and Reggie have maintained a platonic relationship for months, but their romantic feelings for each other are getting hard to ignore.I enjoyed the rapport between Clara and Reggie, and their longing for each other is palpable. There's not much that didn't work for me.  At one point, Clara said the word "cock," which I thought was a reach, but I was too engrossed in the story to give it much notice.A fun, hot read!
