This review is from: Lady in Blue (Mass Market Paperback)

"One night with the lady in blue would cost him a thousand pounds. The Earl of Carado was not so sure any woman was worth it. But her beauty and sharp wit soon made him desire not ony night but many.

Clare Easton, a vicar's daughter, was unprepared to be a mistress to the man who represented her fall from grace. Falling in love with him was unthinkable, but his sensual advances made her want to reveal every secret of her body. Yet she couldn't possibly give him something she considered even more precious."

A somewhat conventional plot in the conventional setting of 1819 England, with a rakish aristcratic hero and a virginal heroine with a mysterious past. But Lady in Blue is so much, muh more. The cover was what caught my eye as I was browsing my local USB, but as I continued on, I saw that despite its outward appearance, LIB was a heart wrenching, sometimes painful story of two people from opposite ends of the spectrum learning to trust and love each other.

Entangled in the plot between Clare and Bryn, is a slightly darker subplot involving the father of the lady the hero thinks he wants to marry. Honor and duty are the main conflict between Clare and Bryn, the two of the overcoming their stubborness to reach a beautiful and wonderful conclusion. Lynn Kerstan is a wonderful author who deserves more attention. If you stumble across this gem, pick it up instantly! And be sure to check out Kerstan's other, equally wonderful, Historicals.

Picked up this book by accident thinking it was another with the same title. Even though this books cover was "Old Style" and written in "95", really packed a punch with its witty characters and theme. If you find it, give it a try!
