Sheri Cobb South writes with a delightful flow of words, a smooth and fast moving plot, and marvelous characters. For a reader such as I, who doesn't like or read any historical books let alone Regency, I was hooked from the first paragragh of Weaver Takes a Wife. I couldn't wait to read more and French Leave did not diappoint. This is a marvelous trip as we are transported to olde England to join people so real we feel we know them. Following characters introduced in preious novels make the journey all the more fun. South's books are like a hot cup of chocolate on a cold night--warm and satisfying. We are well entertained by a master of Regency writing,a true artist in this genre. Encore, encore, Sheri Cobb South!
