Publisher's summary

When the dangerous men who killed her husband in a political assassination threaten Ara, Duchess of Burghly, the Crown assigns her a bodyguard. But the man charged with protecting her is no stranger.

He’s Clayton Ludlow, the bastard son of a duke and the first man she ever loved. Eight years after he took her innocence and ruthlessly abandoned her, he’s back in her drawing room and her life.

This time, she’s older, wiser, and stronger. She will resist him at any cost and make him pay for the past.

She’s the only woman Clay ever loved and the one he hates above all others. When Ara brutally betrayed and deceived him, leaving him with a scarred face and a bitter heart, he devoted himself to earning his reputation as one of the Crown’s most feared agents.

He wants nothing more than to finish his assignment so that he can remove all traces of her from his life forever. But walking away from her for good won’t be as easy as he thinks.

As secrets are revealed and danger threatens Ara, Clay discovers that the truth is far more complicated than deceit. Once she’s back in his arms where she belongs, he’ll wage the biggest fight of all to keep her there.

It’s too repetitive

Great story line got lost in the repetition of hatred misunderstandings of both the main characters. Could have been half as long. Can’t decide if I’ll get any of the rest of the series even though I think the author has potential for good storytelling.

Pretty Good!

I read the reviews about the redundancy and while there was some, I believe the preformance of the narrator outweighed it for me. Great storyline, would have been nice if it reached the punchline a bit sooner. Still recommending as a listen.

Scarlett is a great writer

Now with that said this story was to repetitious made it hard to finish

Very repetitive

Could have been a good story but way too much repetitive jabber. Not even the great Rosalyn Landor can save it. Sad since there was a good sub story with the Irish terrorists plot, but it was underused. The Irish plot could have been a way to flesh out the story so it would not have needed to keep repeating how each H/H hated the other and had been betrayed. I got that in the first few chapters. Also WAY TOO MUCH inner thoughts. The characters were constantly being told they were distracted. Not horrible but glad it was part of the romance package so I didn't need a refund.

Oh my, how I enjoyed this book!

This is my first audio book by Scarlett Scott, but I can assure you it will definitely not be the last. An awesome love story that held me spellbound to the end with all the intrigue and angst. I fell in love with the characters from the start. Well written book and beautifully narrated by Rosalyn Landor. Highly recommended

Captivating

Although I absolutely loved the story, I was already hooked when I saw who the narrator was.

Nobody's Duke

What a story. Breaks your heart but puts it all back together again. Love how it flows into the next in series

Tedious

This is an eye roller. The characters drone on and in perpetuity in a love hate relationship. Fast forwarded a lot. Glad when it was over.

Good Start

I couldn't get into this book at first and maybe it was me at the start. However, the more I listened, the more I enjoyed it. This love story had some road blocks and in the process, lives were affected. Along the way you learn what happens and it is a nice and steamy story. Rosalyn Landor is very good.

Love Rosalyn Landor!

She is the only reason I was able to stick with this book. I saw another review that said it needed a good Editor and another that said it was too repetitive. They were both right. It reads like the author had a contract that requires that the book be a specific number of words or pages and she was a chapter short. The same inner dialogues by the same two characters, over and over, explaining why they held on to being angry with each other for literally half of the book. This could honestly have been condensed into a novella easily with proper editing. Otherwise it was enjoyable.
