She wanted sanctuary...

Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means traveling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger. But Greyfriar's Abbey isn't the sort of refuge she imagined. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill - though he may be tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome - is anything but a romantic hero.

He needed redemption...

Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores, and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison. Now, he needs someone to smooth the way for him with the villagers. Someone to manage his household - and warm his bed on occasion. What he needs, in short, is a wife and a matrimonial advertisement seems the perfect way to acquire one. Their marriage was meant to be a business arrangement and nothing more. A dispassionate union free from the entanglements of love and affection. But when Helena's past threatens, will Justin's burgeoning feelings for his new bride compel him to come to her rescue? Or will dark secrets of his own force him to let her go?

The story was good

good story but again, the narrator, Justine Eyre sounds like she is in pain when she finishes a sentence. The book is as good as the narrator.
Sorry, that's my humble opinions.

Very enjoyable

An entertaining read. Love the story line, well developed characters, and the historical properties of this book. Looking back at what was caused me to appreciate what is.

Borring

The story of this book really gets nowhere. Just a bunch of pointless back amd fourth.

Enjoyed it very much

This was a clean, well-written light read. No sex scenes if you’re looking for that. Good plot and character development. Narrator was excellent as well. It was easy to feel the characters’ emotions.

Unable to stop listening!

The story held my interest continuously throughout the entire book! I didn’t want it to end, but I needed to go to sleep and couldn’t stop listening!
