Review: Oh, Cherry Ripe by Claudy Conn
Rating: 5 out of 5

The story developed at a nice pace though it was a great easy read. The heroine is smart, sassy, and independent, a bit unusual for a historical romance, which is why I LOVED it! The chemistry and tension, between Cherry, our heroine and Skylar (Sky), our hero is perfect. Cherry is struggling with many things, including society's views on women and what is proper and fair, her stepmother marrying her off to a complete stranger, her need to find purpose in her life and now fighting not only her physical desire but her heart's desire for Lord Skylar, her employer. She has grown to love the kids she takes care of and does not which to hurt them with her deceit. How long before she is found out and hearts will be broken.Sky must marry in order to provide his younger siblings with a mom. He's agreed to marry a woman he has never met. However, after meeting Cherry under interesting circumstances on night, and then finding out she is his siblings' new governess, he is having second thoughts on his initial proposal to the stranger but his responsibility to his siblings is more important than his own wants and desires.Claudy did a fantastic job of creating a story and characters you end of caring about and wanting to know more about them.
