What an enjoyable, fun and pleasant afternoon read from Ms. Claudy Conn!  Lady Elizabeth "Bess" the heroine is such a happy spirited girl that hardly seems to have any depth to her character.  Despite  Bess being supposedly "twenty and having past one season" seems to act much younger and yes she is quite entertaining to read anyway.  John Earl of Dunkirk the hero and Scottish to boot is a little bit more complex but still not much subtance to him either.  John really can't help but fall in love with Bess and her rambunctious ways.  John plays the rogue with a heart of gold who can't resist Bess in the end of course there are devious villains, misunderstandings and a wonderful happily ever after.  I liked reading about the banter between all of the other minor characters and especially how Bess treated John either attempting to seduce him or make him laugh.  It seems at times I would forget that John was even Scottish just so he could fit in with the rest of them.Yes, this is a typical romance with it seems a little medieval-historical feel too it.  I never actually figured out what time period I was reading in but just to lose myself in the story and not dwell so much on the time period was just fine by me.  Sometimes it is nice to read such fluffy, nice but with some sexy passionate stuff is just fine by me.  Despite my rating of three stars I would read another of Ms. Conn's works.
