Ok, but not the best

I found myself really annoyed by the heroine until the very end which makes it hard to enjoy the book. I also didn’t care for the circumstances around their first time together which felt a lot like he was taking advantage of her.. which made me hate him through half the book too. I love Mary’s book and have read many of them.. but so far this was my least favorite.

Horrible heroine

I can’t remember ever disliking a female lead character, as much as Moira. She was just difficult for no reason. I wish her character development happened midway through the story, rather than at the very end.

Okay Story

I usually love this author but it was hard to follow this story as the character Moira was quite frustrating. I wish they would have came to certain details earlier in the story.

Moira is extremely irrational and Kenneth only appeased

Any one as irrational as Moira who purposely & stupidly walked home in a snow storm while graciously invited by her host to stay in a comfortable warm mansion. To spite the gracious host, she had to become the damsel distress without the warm clothes and needing to be rescued by her host as well as her childhood infatuation who actually cared about her. Moira would surely have frozen to death without her future husband, Kenneth. Moira is completely ungrateful and doesn’t mention her disregard for herself and the one who had to rescue her. To keep warm, Kenneth ensured the body heat of their bodies and subjugating both to conjugal relations which Moira enjoyed. With this encounter, Moira completely becomes even more hateful, lying, despicable, ugly, shameful, and the worst kind of person towards Kenneth, while he only wants to marry her and comfort Moira. After 3 months of her belligerent treatment towards Kenneth, Moira tells him she is with child. Kenneth being the proper gentlemen immediately forces Moira to marry him while she is still hateful to him. The problem with this scenario is that realistically historically and currently there are no persons that could withstand the irrationality of a person who is so hateful, contemptuous, deceitful, ugly, and cold could any person want to marry him or her!

Good Story

Loved the story. My only problem was I feel like the author tries to introduce all the characters too quickly. I feel like it takes me until about chapter 3 to distinguish them all.

Heroine is self destructive

While Overall a good read, I found the heroine quit annoying Because she self sabotages her relationship numerous times. While it is a rather realistic expression of people’s flaws, I hoped she would come to realize her errors and mature more quickly.

The female lead was burning me out, but i loved the Guy

Mora just wouldn’t let herself show love even when her guy was being vulnerable, she would just start arguments then miss him. She was ruined the love part of it.

Excellent story and Best narrator ever

This book was hard to put down. Characters are engaging and the story as well. I love Rosalyn Landor’s narration and have gotten to a point where I search for books with her narration and only listen to those 😁

Not my favorite in series but…

Consistent in character development. Far fetched scenario in surviving the winter storm brings to mind a rebuttal spoken repeatedly in the series, try not to be ridiculous. And yet it is, but how else are you going to push the plot. Chug through this one, the next is so much better. Irresistible is my favorite. Carry on…

I did not like this book, but I finished it

I listened to this book despite the reviews...and for some reason I made myself finish it.
There were two things I did not like about this book: 1. The heroine. She was petty, childish and unable to have a conversation as an adult. She was mean the entire book, literally until the very last chapter.
2. You do not find out what happened all those years ago until the last chapter of the book.
Mary Balogh's books have been a favorite of mine. I was disappointment with the tediousness of this one.

I would not spend a credit on this book but if you have the romance package you might want to struggle through it for the purpose knowing what happens to the other members of the Horseman of the apocalypse . The third book is very good but not available on audible.
