After the Storm [NOOK Book]

I will say it over and over again....I LOVE Claudy Conn's histor

I will say it over and over again....I LOVE Claudy Conn's historical romance books.  They are seriously addicting and make it feel like you go back to a time where men literally swept women off their feet.
"After the Storm" is a novel about Jenny and how she has lost her childhood sweetheart, Johnny during Waterloo.  She has told herself, she will never love another person again due to the fear of losing them.
Although, it will be kind of hard for her to not fall for the Earl of Danfield because the minute she is introduced to him, he is all that she thinks about.  Jason (the Earl of Danfield) gives her a proposition of marrying him.  If she marries him, he will finally receive his heritance and she will not have to endure going out during the London season like her father wants her to.
The Earl also wants to try to win Jenny's heart over even though she says she will never love again.  He knows in the bottom of his heart, she is falling for him.
When the Earl and Jenny marry, he takes her to one of his home and she meets his step-mom and step-brother.  While there, Jenny is almost killed and someone is out to kill the Earl.  Jenny is determined to find out what is happening at the Earl's castle and get to the bottom of who wants her husband dead.
When she finally finds out who it is, she will find out the truth on what really happened to her beloved Johnny.

Claudy writes a book that is full of passion and love and how it is possible to love again after a tragedy.    What I adored most about this book is that I could not figure out who was causing the trouble and trying to kill the Earl.  I would think it was the step-brother and then another time I would think it was the step-mother.  When I finally found out who it was, I was in shock just like Jenny was in the story.
Claudy also knows how to make readers fall in love with her characters.  I had so much sympathy for Jenny and as well as Jason. Jenny for losing her loved one and Jason for trying to win over Jenny the minute he realizes he cannot live without her.  They both were destined to meet each other.  =)
I even fell for some of the secondary characters in "After the Storm"...one being in particular...the Earl's stepbrother.  Even though, there were times I thought he was the one causing trouble, he still won my heart over.  He had a way with words.  =)

If you love a historical romance that has passion, mystery, romance, humor, and action, you will enjoy reading "After the Storm".

After The Storm by Claudy Conn Jennifer of Ashley Grange had onc

After The Storm by Claudy Conn
Jennifer of Ashley Grange had once been a lively and mischievous girl. The past year she was but a shell of herself. Her best friend and fiance, Johnny, had died in the Battle of Waterloo. She would never love again. Instead of facing a Season, she agrees to a marriage of convenience. Can she ever be happy without feeling the guilt that she’s alive and Johnny is dead?




Jason, The Earl of Danfield, has been left no choice. His father’s will would have him married by his twenty-ninth birthday or his younger step-brother would inherit. He despised the idea of his father ruling his life from the grave, but he needed his inheritance. When he meets Jenny, he realizes maybe marriage won’t be the worst thing in the world.




Claudy Conn once again has written a great story. Full of suspicious could be villains, rogues and jealousy abounding. All kinds of characters to suspect of evil doing. This story even includes an old dark drafty castle right along with an evil step-mother.

From start to finish I was hooked and found this book impossible

From start to finish I was hooked and found this book impossible to put down. I loved the story that unfolded between Jenny and Jason, and absolutely fell in love with their characters. As always there were twists and turns that you don't expect, and in the end you are left with an incredible story. I definitely recommend this book, and I know you won't be disappointed. :)

Okay wow!!! Totally adored this book with a passion. I devoured

Okay wow!!! Totally adored this book with a passion. I devoured it.. I couldn't put it down. The whole storyline was great. I enjoyed it. The mystery and suspense kept me glued to my kindle.
This book had it all. Lots of action, emotion, laughs and sizzling passion.

The characters in Claudy's books always stand out. This book was no different.

Jenny is a precious beauty who is in grieving for her lost love. She really doesn't understand what she is feeling when this new man shows up in her life.

Justin is a handsome man looking for marriage and when he meets Jenny he decides she is the one for him.

Justin was soo sweet. Jenny was sassy and funny. Both of them fit perfectly together. This story had everything you could possibly want.

Claudy knows how to deliver and she continues to do so with all of her amazing books. I am a die hard fan!!

Great love story

This love story was really fun. It had everything including lots of jealousy but no infidelity. Fairly explicit sex but not erotic. No love triangles either! I hate love triangles!!! This was just a wonderful, stand alone love story.

Claudy has another hit. I started this book and could not put it

Claudy has another hit. I started this book and could not put it down. Jenny and Jason are so real. She is afraid to love and he needs a wife to secure his estate. There is much going on behind these two and it will keep your intrest.

Jenny is young and feels alone.  After losing her fiance at Wate

Jenny is young and feels alone.  After losing her fiance at Waterloo she does not seem to be able to move on.  In come the Earl of Danfield with an offer that will help them both.  Their feelings for each other grow and an HEA looks on the horizon until a couple of "pranks" occur leading Jenny to believe she may not be safe.  Who can she trust?  Her heart, her husband, her in-laws, her friends?




I loved this historical.  Romance, mystery, and a lovable heroine make this unputdownable read one of my favorite historical romances.  The story was paced beautifully and had me needing to keep reading, even as midnight came and went.  The secondary characters add so much depth to this tale of two lost souls finding each other and what matters in life.    If you like your historical romances with a bit of mystery and a whole lot of chemistry, this book may be just the book for you.  This book is 18 plus for sexual content, which takes place within the context of marriage (if that is something you are looking for).

Just okay; very predictable; short at 150 pages on Nook.
