Publisher's summary

The exquisite niece of Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory, Regina Ashton, is outraged over her abduction by the arrogant, devilishly handsome Nicholas Eden - and is determined to make the rogue pay...with his heart.

A golden-haired seducer, Nicholas has been hardened by a painful secret in his past. And now that he has besmirched Reggie's good name, the hot-tempered lady has vowed to wed him.

Her fiery beauty stirs Nicholas as no woman ever has - and the rake arouses Reggie's passion to an unendurable level. Such uncontrolled desires can lead only to dangerous misunderstandings...and, perhaps, to a love that can live only once in a lifetime.

Grabbed me in the first minutes of listening!

Thoroughly enjoyable story. I love all the Malory's. Laural Merlington catches your ear from the beginning.Have read all the series but there is something about the spoken word that brings the story to life.

I love her books!!!!!!!!!!

Where does Love Only Once rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have followed the Malory clan from book one, this one is as good as the others, as audiobooks goes this is number one.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Reggie, because of her spunk.

Have you listened to any of Laural Merlington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Nicholas found out that the woman he thought was his aunt was really his mother.

Any additional comments?

The book was great.

witty... intriguing and fun

I did love this book. There were many comical like ts and the heroine is frustrating and strong.The hero was hard headed and dashing. Alone it's a good book, but add in all the sub characters (uncle's, maids etc) and it's a very pleasant and entertaining read with many laughs. I do love this series! well done!
