Widow Rosalinde Wilde is on her way to her beloved sister's wedding when an unexpected storm waylays her at an overcrowded inn. There she meets a tempting stranger who sweeps her into a night of unforgettable passion.

Grayson Danford never expected a night with the irresistible Mrs. Wilde, but she was a welcome distraction from the unpleasant duty of breaking up his brother's impending nuptials.

Now Rosalinde and Gray will butt heads, even as their simmering desire for each other threatens to boil over. Who will win? And who might lose it all?

Pretty good

Not revolutionary in terms of romance novels, but there were a few unique things that set this apart. I liked that the author embraced the fact that this is a romance novel and created enough fantasy so that the reader has a fun read while having enough reality and historic accuracy that this isn't completely unrealistic. I also liked that she chose a widow instead of a young inexperienced virgin. I feel like there are too many romances about the virginal heroine protecting her virginity.

Enjoyable with a sweet HEA.

A good, sexy story. Narrator OK but her men's voices sound very nasal. Otherwise good

Too many long moments

Narrator is excellent! Author over uses phrases like “for a long moment” or “what seemed like an eternity” but other than that, it’s a decent story.

I do not agree with Karen (last reviewer)

Had I read her review I would have perhaps not purchased this book. However, after reading it I purchased the next in line. Yes they do repeat her bad marriage etc, but I would be the first to have zero patience for repetition and this story only mentioned that when it was needed. The reviewer goes on to talk about Mary Balogh. Now that is a writer who can eliminate about 1/2 her stories loaded with mind babble and repetitions,to end up with a good book.
I liked this book. So much so that I finished it all in a day. It was real and the reader can feel the despair the sisters felt. I am not crazy about the picture on the cover (silly look on his face and she is not the dropped jaw gorgeous heroine described in the book). Fabulous narrator!

Good story line

I liked this book one in the series. Danielle o'Farrell does a good job with the female voice, but has a terrible male voice. The men sound flat, lacking any emotion.

Lovely

Sweet storey & another great narration from Danielle O'Farrell. Looking forward to the next in the series

I was pleasantly surprised.

I randomly picked this book because it suggested that I would like it...I loved it. I can't wait until the other ones come out

It was in winter? Oh, yah, it was.

Either way it was very enjoyable. A tad slow.... a simple plot.... but enjoyable.

It was well performed with the single exception of "dowager" being "dowanger " with that irritant set aside it was good narration.

It was hot and steamy too!

Nice Start To A New Series

This was an enjoyable book. I liked how the story was developed and the introduction of the supporting characters, enticing you to be sure and get Seasons 2.

I enjoyed Danielle O'Farrell as well.

An Affair In winter

This Romantic historical book was entertaining. It gave me an insight into the practice of keeping women powerless in that time.
