The Conquest
Latest in her "C" series of Regency-set romances (e.g., The  Chance), this warmly romantic tale finally settles the  matrimonial affairs of the marriage-shy Earl of Drummond when an  ambush sends him badly wounded to the home of Alexandria  Gascoyne and into her heart as well. Nicely sprinkled with  characters and references from other books in the series, this  witty, well-crafted tale nevertheless stands on its own and  features a full complement of appealing, beautifully drawn  characters, graceful language, and excellent period description.  Layton is a popular, widely respected writer of Regencies and  Regency-set historical romances.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
