Cherry Elton was beside herself! Her own mother had arranged
a marriage for her to a man she had never even met. She had no choice but to
run away.
Sky Westbrooke had no wish to marry, but his mischievous
siblings sorely needed a firm maternal hand. Yet, how could he court his unseen
bride, when into his employ had come the most remarkable, enchanting governess?
And Cherry, playing at being a governess was smitten by the
handsome, cavalier Lord Westbrooke. His stolen kisses left her breathless—yet,
he was betrothed to another. Whatever was a love struck governess to do?
Oh, Cherry Ripe is
spicy historical read. I really enjoyed the characters, plot and the heat
between the hero and heroine, but what I didn’t like and I know people will
hate me for saying this, but it was the way the story ended. I was enjoying
myself until all the sudden it just ended, poof gone, needless to say it left me
speechless. I felt like I was somewhat left hanging because I wanted more. I
hope one day Claudy will come back to this story and write a better ending. Not
everything is correct to the time period in this story, but that is what I
liked best about it because it gave you the historical feel along with times
now, besides this is works of fiction and imagination, so things will not
always be correct. Heck as long as I enjoy the story I can careless what the
character’s names are.
Cherry, is very loveable character. She is headstrong at
times as we all are when we don’t want to do something that someone wants to
force on us. Sky, is strong character and devilishly handsome. He is just the
right hero for Cherry. I really like how
the plot was carries out, it goes to show sometimes we run from things that we shouldn’t.
You can find the free on amazon at least it is today, but I
have no clue how long it will stay a freebie, so you better hop right on over
if you want a spicy novella read.

Love the title -- it's from an old poem by Thomas Campion cited in my literary criticism class in 1977 as an example of overuse of simile. Actually, our professor hated the poem and I remembered that lo these 35 years!
