Publisher's summary

She gave him her innocence....

Lady Aline Marsden was brought up to marry a man of her own class, but from the moment she meets John McKenna, she risks everything to be with him.

He gave her his heart....

Although their love is forbidden, McKenna's passion for the beautiful Aline is too compelling to deny.

When their secret is discovered, their world is shattered. McKenna is forced to leave forever, unaware that the only reason Aline has given him up is to save him.

Now McKenna has returned, a powerful man determined to take revenge against the woman who broke his heart. But the magic between them burns as fiercely as ever...and as McKenna uncovers Aline's deepest secret, together they discover a love that will defy Fate itself.

Boring!

Stupid, weak, adolescent, foolish woman and foolish, juvenile, unkind, stupid man waste twelve years of their lives and hours of listeners’ time. This listener skipped many chapters to reach the embarrassingly adolescent end. A big stumble for Lisa Kleypas. Excellent Rosalyn Landor narration wasted on this nonsense.

Drivel

Irredeemable waste of words. No story, no history, no - anything. Who wd publish this nothing? Only good to go to sleep as narrator’s voice is gentle.

Horrible..grueling and not worth it.

We have two sisters Aline and Olivia. Aline fell in love with a perverted uneducated stable boy. Her father of course made a stop to it and an unexpected accident left her scared. 12 years later this stable boy came back rich arrogant and determined to ruin her. She of course let's him with his temperament, idiocy, controlling, and possessiveness which is oddly so attractive for this upper class girl.

Aline and McKenna have no character development and their relationship isn't sexy or romantic, but toxic. She is a fluttering idiot and his actions remind me of a pervert. The narrator's performance on his character makes him sound mentally unstable.

As for the other sister, Olivia, she actually falls in love with Giddion, Mkennas business partner. Who is basically a vile drunk and a puppet. Olivia of course just wants to take care of him. 🙄

This book and Author was a tiktok recommendation and although I'll finish it, it was so cringe worthy and unreasonable, unbelievable, and held no substance at all. I don't understand why this book is so revered. It was a nail on the chalk board experience. Buy at your own risk.

Great romance

I read this book years ago and just finished listening to it on audible. It's like putting on your favorite sweater. Just as good as when I first read it.

Why did I prefer the side characters

Rosalyn Landor, as much as I love her, does not have a good enough American male accent to do books centered around American love interests without it being distracting. The story itself was enjoyable, but I found the side characters more realistic and sane than the male and female lead. The side love story was great though, 10/10 there

A moving, poignant love story

I loved this book! The story and the romance was beautifully moving and sexy, the writing wonderful, and the character depth and growth very enjoyable to see. Rosalyn Landor did an amazing job with her performance as well. My only wish is that we got to see more of Aline and McKenna as a couple after they actually got together, but alas. Also, Aline’s behavior regarding a certain secret was frustrating and I wanted to shake her at times, even though I liked her as a character (and loved McKenna). Still really enjoyed this book regardless!

wonderful

The story is fantastic. Very heartfelt. The love lines feel like I'm reading poetry. The narrator did a fantastic job with the voices as well.

Great novel; questionable character narration

I found I loved this book and the story it told, but I didn’t enjoy the vocal characterization of the narrator’s style! I would have preferred less mimicry.

One of my favorites!

I love all of the Kleypas stories but this one is especially touching. Well performed, well written…. I have read it and listened to it multiple times and will continue to enjoy it.

Great Story

I read this book a few years ago and decided I wanted to listen to it and it didn’t disappoint. I love the story. I can’t stand a wilting flower and love that the female leads are such strong women with a hint of vulnerability.
