Malory Family, Book 9

By: Johanna Lindsey

Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

After her mother died, vivacious Katey Tyler fled her dull Connecticut town, hoping to meet her relatives in England and find adventure and romance on a grand tour of Europe. She had no idea that her life-changing travels would have both in spades - as well as danger and intrigue - when she catches the eye of ship owner Boyd Anderson and inadvertently stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping.

When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is abducted from London's Hyde Park, her kidnapper mistakenly sends the ransom note to the home of Sir Anthony's brother, James. With James and his wife, Georgina, in the Caribbean, the demands are received by their houseguest - Georgina's youngest brother, Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, the notoriously hot-headed American sea captain fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot!

Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson - and in meeting up with the Malorys - she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour, and her life will never be dull again. For a multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her mother's early life. . . to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him - but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

As Always Great!

As always, Johanna Lindsey never fails a good Malory story. The only thing with these continued stories, they are always in the male perspective. We don’t fall in love again with Anthony’s wife, Roslyn, whom is one of my favorite wives.

Very cheesy

I used to like Johanna Lindsey's books but could not finish this one. Perhaps, her style changed or my tastes 'grew up' but the story was very cheesy, not at all engaging, the narrator was a woman and did not do a good job of imitating men's voices - I felt like I was listening to The Simpsons. I was not able to finish the book and do not recommend it.

Not Lindsey's best, disappointing Mallory novel.

Johanna Lindsey has written some really good romance novels a la "Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Carribean". You know the story is far fetched, the characters are cartoon like in the fact that her hero can take on a half dozen men without a scratch and the heroine is always the most stunning beauty, but she is the last to know that. Nevertheless, I have loved most of her books as the characters were likeable and the rogues always fell head over heels in love and became model husbands. With regards to the Anderson family, my favorite story of course is that of Georgina and James in Gentle Rogue (coming on audiobooks this month). I also thought she found an excellent match for Drew in Gabi in Captive of My Desires and that Amy was what Warren needed to cure his broken heart in The Magic of You. This book however is a huge disappointment. Boyd, sweet gentle Boyd deserved better than a whiny, vindictive, lying woman such as Katie. I listened to the audio and turned it off 2.5 hrs before the story was over as I could no longer stomach this idiot woman. One moment she is having sex with Boyd and the next, she is furious with him. How many times is a person supposed to apologize before you give him a break. Her constant humiliation to him in public made her rude, lacking class and tact in my opinion. She was just very unsympathetic for me to root for her. If you want to read a good Lindsey book, grab "A Loving Scoundrel"; "Captive of My Desires"; "The Magic of You"; "A Gentle Rogue"; or "Marriage Most Scandalous". Hopefully audible will have them all on their list soon. Stay away from "A man to call my own"; "the Devil who Tamed Her'; "Home For the Holidays"; and "No Choice But Seduction". They are not Lindsey's best work.

Disappointed

Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite romance authors. Although this may have been a good story, the reader drove me absolutely nuts, she is so irritating and I can still hear her annoying voice in my head! I will be avoiding all her future readings.

Read only if nothing else is available

I put my Ipod on the Faster speed, in order to get through this. The heroin was the bubbly headed silly girl, and the hero the strong silent type who couldn't control himself around his dream girl. Don't waste your time unless there's nothing else to read.
