De: Scarlett Scott

Narrado por: John Lane, Anais Inara Chase

One reckless moment was all it required for Lady Julianna Somerset to lose her innocence to her best friend’s brother.

When he broke her heart, she fled London to heal her wounded pride. But a desperate change in circumstance has forced her to return. In a cruel twist of fate, the man who ruined her may be the only one who can save her.

Sidney, Lord Shelbourne, has always wanted one woman at his side and in his bed. The only problem? She refused his proposal of marriage and disappeared from his life. He’s resigned himself to a life of duty when her arrival in London rekindles old, dangerous flames.

Sidney has not forgiven Julianna for spurning him or for the shocking secret she has been keeping. Now that she needs his aid, he has a plan. Revenge will be his, and so will she. But Julianna is determined to protect herself against the handsome lord she never stopped desiring. This time, she has vowed she will be the one to force his surrender.

Witty

I truly enjoyed this book. Sidney was my favorite. He wS melancholy but funny. The narrator brought him to life for me. Juliana on the other hand tore my nerves up. So childish and petty. I hated that she refused to accept her part in what s had wrought by not asking questions. All in all it was a great story. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Good but…

I’m a new to this series but in this book in particular my annoyance of how long it took for them to share the truth made me want to stop listening. Whereas the other books had other elements that brought suspense and they paced well with revelations. Juliana started to become a little annoying.

Wonderful

This story of the series was so sweet and sexy. I love their love story from the beginning and how they found each other again years later.

Main female character

The main female character came across as very childish in the story, whereas the male character came across as having a mature character.

Not quick witted characters

this audiobook was not up to par with the others in this collection; In addition Ms. Chases’ narration was most irritating with her mono-tone soft whispers. Mr. Lane was excellent as usual (the only reason I continued to listen) book was not worth the one credit!

Hard to Finish

The main character was very difficult to like. A lot of the conversations were why are you mad at me, you know why. I just liked her immensely, and I had to do some reflection to make sure that I wasn't being misogynistic. But no! Instead of using her words like an adult, she runs. She blames the male main character for everything! Leave me alone! I am mad at you because you left me alone... type of things!

Shelbourne's cursing was a lot, and I love a good sailor mouth. I very much enjoyed the first three books of the series and disappointed in the fourth.

Good but lots of anger & hurt

My first book by this author. Agree with other reviews that female was kind of tedious in her anger & distrust after jumping to conclusions. Male also had some of this. Could guess what the female misunderstood, just not which of one of the 2 females. This went on WAY TOO LONG. Almost quit half way through the book as only the last hour was pleasant and very sweet. Lessons learned: 1) check out your assumptions. 2) Quit while you are ahead. Other reviews said the other 3 books in the series are better so now I have to decide if I am going to take a chance.

A quick convo would cut like 1/3 of the book (at least)

With less than 1.5 hours left the heroine still hasn’t told the hero why she refused him so long ago. The story is well written and well acted on the whole (though the author loves the word “mayhaps” and uses it all the time), but I am not a fan of extending a misunderstanding throughout an entire book when a five minute conversation would almost completely solve a lot of problems. Especially when the characters obsess over the moment the entire book.
