Publisher's summary

Notorious man....

Everyone knows about Dylan Moore - his brilliant talent and his pleasure-seeking ways-but no one knows the torment that lies beneath his reckless veneer. Only one woman gets a glimpse of the forces that drive Dylan's soul, a woman who haunts his dreams and evokes his passions as no other woman ever has before.

Disgraced and destitute, Grace Cheval wants nothing to do with the seductive man who desires her. When Dylan offers her a position as governess to his newfound daughter, she knows his true intentions are dishonorable. Yet she finds this charismatic man hard to resist, and she returns his passionate kisses with a fire that matches his own. Can Dylan dare hope that this proud, spirited beauty will melt the ice around his heart?

I did raise the speed

Only slightly. The narrator is good but spoke a tiny bit too slowly. I still really enjoyed it.

Beautiful, Complex

His Every Kiss is an unforgettable love story. The characters — Dylan, Grace, and 8-year-old Isabel — all had sad, even tragic, lives before finding each other. That their feelings seem to grow organically is a testament to Ms. Guhrke’s mastery, especially without a comparable narrator.

Never read or listened to this writer

The overall story and performance were good. Definitely slow burn at first and drags a little there were a ew parts I skipped 30 seconds to get ahead, but would listen to her work again. The romance was not overtly descriptive but more than well enough done. By the end it was worth it. I would recommend.
Narration: great if you have listened to her before
Spice 3 of 5 and takes a while

not her best work but good enough

This story has and interesting plot about a injured aristocratic musician and his unlikely impoverished muse, but I was perpetually annoyed by the illogical behavior of the otherwise likeable heroine. She sees him once in an excellent and dramatic opening scene, and then they don't meet again for years. When they do meet, he says he has been searching for her for years. Which is objectively weird and a little obsessive since they essentially shared a heartfelt conversation once and then never saw each other again. Instead of being wary of his stalkery behavior, she almost immediately makes out with him. Shortly thereafter, her finances take an even more catastrophic turn, forcing her to contemplate prostitution, and miraculously he shows up on her doorstep and offers her money first to talk and then to be a governess to his child. Any other starving nearly homeless woman with no support would have jumped on this with gratitude and joy. She is hostile and rude. Street prostitution is apparently better than having any sort of relationship with a kind, brilliant, and handsome patron? Characters who do not behave like normal humans is my pet peeve. Overall, however, the writing is good, th characters are likeable, and the plot is interesting.
