As an innocent girl, Madeline Sedgewick learned that nothing comes without a price - even desire. Five years later, now widowed and deeply in debt, she's certain that the stranger who bought her last husband's notes of credit will demand swift, steep repayment. But she never imagines her creditor will be Brock Taylor, her baseborn former stable-hand turned newly wealthy entrepreneur - the man who stole her virginity and her heart. She's even more stunned when he says that he'll forgive her debts only if she becomes his wife.

Romantic, if clichéd...
The skeleton of a good book is in this short work. It is, however, too short for any character development that would allow it to rise above stereotypes.

Not for me. Boring
This book was so boring I was almost nodding off. I don't know really what else to say. The narration was dull too. Sorry, I say pass on this book. Short and boring. If it had been any longer I would have quit it.

Not In My Favorites Pile
Story: 2 stars
The premise sounded interesting. The story started out with intrigue. Then somewhere along the way it just became tedious. The reason for the heroine leaving in the first place was a little bit of a letdown although understandable for the time period and her position, but it just didn't draw me in after learning the reason.
Performance: 2 stars
Elizabeth Jasicki is a good reader, but in my opinion, not a good voice actor in this story. The story was told without a lot of emotion. The characters sounded the same in every emotional situation whether they were meeting again on the streets of Fortune’s Folly, in bed, or in a heated argument. I wanted a little more emotion in the readings rather than just the soft, subdued reading the narrator maintained.
Overall: 2 stars
I finished the story only out of curiosity. It's not one I would replay.
