Publisher's summary

His lawfully dreaded wife…

When disaster strikes, Marianne Bray finds herself in quite a mess, and the most important things in the world are at stake: her family name and her reputation. Desperation leads to a solution she cannot bear, but she has no choice. She must bind herself to a man who can protect her, save her, and, more importantly, tolerate her. Unfortunately for her, that man is Kit Gerrard.

Her awfully wedded husband...

Kit knew he ought to have left Marianne to her fate, which was no more than she deserved, but he’d always had a weakness where she was concerned, so there was no alternative but to save her and sacrifice himself in the process. With his heart at risk, he takes her, swearing to harden himself against the one woman he’s always wanted, and prays it will be enough. But before long, he realizes he may be the one in need of saving.

Sad to see the series coming to an end

I've really enjoyed this series. The narration is excellent; characters likeable and though the storylines were a bit too much back and forth (it wouldn't be a story if everyone understood each other, right?) I'm a little sad that it's coming to an end. And I liked that it's clean. There's enough rakish, bodice- ripping novels out there.

Good

I really like this series, and I love her characters and clean storylines. My disappointment with this one was that the misunderstandings were overplayed. Once was enough, but the second misunderstanding was eye rolling in that all it would have taken was one question. A shorter and more succinct book would have worked better than having it drag on the last little bit. Marianne's character grew but Kit's didn't keep up.

The Best

The ebb and tide of this story narrated so well by JEB makes it the best, so far, in this series! Totally enjoyed it.

I wish I could give it 6 stars!

I have enjoyed listening to this entire series but this book was even better than the preceding books. I loved how the characters developed and made such a sweet love story. I appreciated the way the characters from earlier stories were woven in to make it deeper and more cohesive. A thoughtful, heartwarming read with lovable characters.

A Book Worth Listening

I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable this final (well, kind of final) book ended up being. We have seen hints and foreshadowing regarding this relationship more than any other relationship, so I was worried it would not deliver in its full telling. However, Connolly delivered a satisfying, dynamic and winning novel.

While some parts felt reminiscent of some of the previous stories (namely Book 2), it still managed to differentiate itself. I very much enjoyed the development of both characters and their relationship. It felt, in some ways, a more realistic telling of how difficult it is for people to truly change.
