Resumen del Editor

A grieving widower. A strong lady. And a little girl who needs them both.

After losing his wife in an accident, Graham Astor, Duke of Kensington, decides that love is not worth the risk of having his heart broken all over again. Even his little daughter he keeps at a distance, afraid to hurt her with the darkness that now lives in his heart. Since he is unable to be the father she deserves, he vows to find her a mother who will heal her little heart.

At a garden party, Graham spots a young woman with a shy smile tending lovingly to her little cousins...and he knows his duty.

As the black sheep of her family, Rosabel Lander has no illusions about love. After her parents' deaths, her aunt and uncle reluctantly took her in, demanding nothing short of complete obedience. Unable to live down her past, Rosabel only wishes for one thing: freedom.

However, before she dares to take the first step toward an independent future, a cold-hearted stranger asks for her hand in marriage...and as the obedient niece, Rosabel cannot refuse.

Will Rosabel find love after all? Or will the memory of Graham's late wife keep them both from finding happiness?

This Beauty and the Beast story by a USA Today best-selling author proves that the past can never be forgotten, but its regrets can be forgiven.

Great find, good clean romance

I was surprised to stumble upon this book. Where had it been when I struggled to find clean romance books with spark! Well written and the narrator was fantastic.

Good story in the series

The overall premise of the story is good but I find the main characters lacking backbone. The narrator was good enough and was not the best I have listened to but not the worst either. The progression of the story in terms of when they fell in love lacks depth. I was not convinced. I have enjoyed other books from this author more than this one.

Not a “Sweet Historical Romance”

I’m sure there are many, many people who enjoy this book. It’s heartbreaking and poignant throughout, the way that both main characters struggle with their own insecurities and past hurts. However, the obsession each of them have with his dead wife is nothing short of bizarre and, frankly, disturbing. Also, the emotional and physical abuse in several sections may be a trigger for some so just be aware.

It was good

I loved the way the story flowed, it kept me interested the whole time. I like those kinds of stories.

GREAT NARRATION

Great story. Great characters. Love this narrator. She has the most amazing voice capabilities as shown in this story. Can't wait to listen to other books by author in this collection.

Forgotten & Remembered

Capturing sad moments, insecure moments as well as happy moments, this book captures your interest and holds you bound until the end. A sweet romance without the explicit sex that has the ability to limit the audience somewhat. You see the growth of well developed characters into those who exhibit inner strength they did not realize they had! In the audiobook format, Anna Parker-Naples provides us with a commendable narration! My first time listening to her as a narrator, but she is obviously most talented. 😍

Excellent!! I couldn’t put it down!

This was so good!! It was gripping- like I literally couldn’t stop listening to what happened next. The descriptions made it feel like you were really there. I felt immersed in the characters emotions and struggles. And the narrator did an excellent job too! I’d recommend it for sure and I’m excited to read more from Bree Wolf

Too Weak and going in circles.

The H/H are just frustratingly going in circles in their relationship. They take one step forward and 5 steps back. The narration is beautiful though. The book would have been excellent if it would have just let them develop normally.

Two thumbs up!

Was not sure when I started listening that this was going to keep my interest. Now I can’t wait to start the next one!

It started off decent.

I thought this was going to be a cute and fun book. It started off great, but than it went to one the worst of cliches. I call it the Rebecca, if you have ever read the 1938 gothic novel Rebecca you will know what I'm talking about. The main character letting everyone push her around. Acting like she has no control over life whatsoever. Please the girl is a Dutchess for crying out loud, and from the way the husband is presented he would have most likely let her have the run of things as long as he wasn't bothered. I understand if the husband had been shown as some kind of control freak and abusive but he wasn't. I hate when books make drama were not really should be. If you want drama write something more compelling.
