Another great read, ever since I discovered her books I look forward to each new one.  After a hard day at work or awful news of the moment, it is so nice to have something to escape into for a while and Claudy Conn book's provide just the escape.  This is another of her regency romances where she captures the time, clothing and language, when an author writes in a particular time period of the past it's important to have the language fit the dialogue, it take's one out of the fantasy if the characters use modern language or slang, she sets the stage and you can let go for awhile and be with the characters while the story plays out, hating the villain's and cheering for the hero and heroine.  This is the story of Lady Serena, a kind hearted beauty who does not use her beauty to abuse other people in other word's she is not a mean girl, she's feisty, loving and willing to take on the world for the one's she love's.  She has 3 suitors bothering her, the Reverend a creepy holier than though type of man, Warren a noble who needs money for his lifestyle and Freddy who at 19 believes he is in a forever after type of love not realizing it's just lust and puppy love.  Enter his uncle the dashing Lord Daniel Pendleton, who is convinced that Serena is just out for the title and the money, and the story begins and it is great, I stretched out reading it for a few days to savor the story as I could have read it the same day.  If you have not read any of her books give her a try and you will not be disappointed.
