Once a Rebel

De: Mary Jo Putney

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

A rogue redeemed

As Washington burns, Callista Brooke is trapped in the battle between her native England and her adopted homeland. She is on the verge of losing everything, including her life, when a handsome Englishman cuts through the violent crowd to claim that she is his. Callie falls into her protector's arms, recognizing that he is no stranger but the boy she'd once loved a lifetime ago.

Lord George Gordon Audley had been Callie's best friend, and it was to Gordon she turned in desperation to avoid a loathsome arranged marriage. But the repercussions of his gallant attempt to rescue her sent Callie packing to Jamaica and Gordon on a one-way trip to the penal colony of Australia.

Against all odds, Gordon survived. Finding Callie is like reclaiming his tarnished soul, and, once again, he vows to do whatever is necessary to protect her and those she loves. But the innocent friendship they shared as children has become a dangerous passion that may save or destroy them when they challenge the aristocratic society that exiled them both.

"Putney's endearing characters and warm-hearted stories never fail to inspire and delight." (Sabrina Jeffries)

overall a great book to listen too

This was my first time to listen to an audible book. it is not my first preference in reading but it was so nice to be able to listen and get my work/chores done at the same time. The book was nice . The narrator did a great job reading it.

Well Done.

Good story. Sound romantic relationships, good factoids of American history, demonstrates why she continues to be a top novelist in this genre. I’ve got read her books off and on for more than 40 years and they just kept getting better. Also, so Pleased that she has Beverly Crick doing the narration. She is terrific. She makes the story take-off and fly. Male and female, multiple family members and friends, each individual is distinct and there’s never any confusion as to who is speaking.
A pleasure to listen. Will make you smile too.

Beautiful romance

While this was not my favorite book in the series, I still loved listening. The characters are rich and relatable - thanks in part to Beverly A Crick's narration. She's an amazing linguist, doing English, Jamaican and American with ease. This story has it all, love/romance, loyalty, adventure and justice for the bad guy. Yeppers....this is definitely a repeat listen for me.

Historically woven, richly told story.

One can't help but feel the anguish as evil hunts the innocent, yet share the joy as fate intervenes and the intricate story unfolds.
