Publisher's summary

From the legendary New York Times best-selling author of Only a Kiss and Only a Promise comes the final book in the rapturous Survivor's Club series - as the future of one man lies within the heart of a lost but never-forgotten love....

For the first time since the death of his wife, the Duke of Stanbrook is considering remarrying and finally embracing happiness for himself. With that thought comes the treasured image of a woman he met briefly a year ago and never saw again.

Dora Debbins relinquished all hope to marry when a family scandal left her in charge of her younger sister. Earning a modest living as a music teacher, she's left with only an unfulfilled dream. Then, one afternoon, an unexpected visitor makes it come true.

For both George and Dora, that brief first encounter was as fleeting as it was unforgettable. Now is the time for a second chance. And while even true love comes with a risk, who are two dreamers to argue with destiny?

Beloved was awesome

This series is awesomely beautiful. The plot within Beloved is epic. I would never have expected such a twist.

Final book in Survivor series

Mary Balogh storytelling moving as ever. Includes a sweet series epilogue with all of the families

Nice Ending to a Good Series

This story is about George, the Duke of Stanbrook and Dora Debbins. I wondered how this story would develop because George was like the glue to the members of the Survivor's Club and he had a story to tell. All of the members' stories are somewhat repeated in this story and that's helpful if you don't read the books in order, I truly enjoyed the series.

Wonderful Ending to a Series

This was a wonderful ending to a great series of books. With a great series I tend to get emotionally attached to the characters. And this was no different. I worried that George hadn’t found anyone, but then came Dora! The whole series is well worth your time and money.

Simply the Best!

Entirely a “Joy Read/Audio” to wrap up the good fortunes of all the “Survivors”. Duke & Duchess behold in their story such hurt & anguish having nothing to do with only circumstances beyond their control upto their meet/greet. Another (2) lives transformed because of their shared discoveries of each other. The last chapter of annual Reunion of the mighty (7) and their families become such triumph over the last twelve years is exhilarating and makes this series of (7) shared lives workin toward “ALIVE” lifts our souls. A truly “Don’t Miss the Lessons for our own lives”. Greatest of Authors to pen the Characters & the fabulous Narrator to carry it off, I thank You Both.

Well paced story

It is nice to have a story that starts with a marriage, since we all know that's where it is going. The twist, unfortunately, is one we have seen before in her other books and is a bit predictable. That said, this was a lovely end to the survivor series.

Love this series!

I usually don't like historical romances but this series was so good! I loved each character and did not want it to end!

Beautifully Found Love through Friendship

This companionable friendship to regard and then love was a beautiful experience to listen to. The narrator did this story justice and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
