Fall of Lord Drayson

The Fall of Lord Drayson (Tanglewood, #1)No Spoiler Review for 
                                       The Fall of Lord Drayson

I absolutely adored this book by Rachel Anderson.  I did receive this book for an honest review.   This was my first book to read by Rachel Anderson and cannot wait to read some of her other books. I felt as though I were reading another version of Gone with the Wind but with more laughter.    It was a fun and carefree book which made me smile just about the entire time I read the book.  

Lucy and her mom live on the property of Lord Drayson which he recently acquired after his fathers death.   However, he is ready to sell the property which means that Lucy and her mom will have to find another place to live but do not have the means to find another house.   Lucy's mom had an agreement with Lord Drayson's father but Lord Drayson was not concerned with their agreement.   Lucy did not like Lord Drayson's sudden appearance and when he left and was injured, Lucy decided to deceive him with her "creative truth telling" or maybe it was just a "plunker" of a lie!

Lucy is a delightful, gutsy, spunky, and lovable young lady.   Her helper Georgina was also a doll.  Georgina and Lucy were so close and their relationship was honest, fun and super lovable.   Georgina was funny and even though her lines in the book were written in slang it added character to the book.   Colin and Lord Drayson, while they were the same individual, had totally different characters.   I admired Colin but really did not like Lord Drayson in the beginning.  However, I grew to see his heart and I quickly changed my mind about Lord Drayson.    The entangled banter between Lucy and Colin totally had me laughing out loud and I simply could not put the book down until it was over.   In fact, I do believe I was captivated till the end.  Even though I figured I could guess how the book would end,  I simply did not want to think about it ending.  

The Fall of Lord Drayson never lacked plot or character building throughout the book and was just a fun and carefree read.   I can't wait to read any future books from Rachel Anderson.
