Publisher's Summary

Moira Hayes hadn't seen Kenneth Woodfall in nearly eight years...nor did she want to see this man who stirred such feelings of anger in her. After all, he was the reason, though indirectly, for her brother's death.

But Kenneth isn't willing to forget the past, a time he shared with his first and only love, Miss Moira Hayes. Kenneth is more than willing to forgive. If only Moira can, too....

Critic Reviews

"Mary Balogh sets the gold standard in historical romance." (Jayne Ann Krentz)

"Mary Balogh is one of my favourites!" (Eloisa James)

The most annoying heroine!

Moira is quite the most miserable, cold, argumentative, sour female ever to be in a romantic novel. She didn’t deserve her HEA. All praise to Kenneth for persevering. I only kept going to the end because I liked the first book in the trilogy, and hope to enjoy the final book. This had to be endured in between! I have liked other books by Mary Balogh, especially the Survivors series, and the Bedwyn series, but this one was dismal.

Such a tedious heroine

I did not enjoy this story as much a s I thought, some are better left in print.
I did not like the male voices depicted by the narrator, too much wallowing in thinking about this and that, made me nearly give up.
So much bitterness and resentfulness, scratchy women , all based on half truths,
I wanted to smack them all into having a 'tell the truth 'session.

Irritating heroine

I really wanted to slap this heroine, much as I love Mary Balogh's writing. If only the protagonists had talked to each other earlier; but then there would have been no story, and I suppose human beings can be like that.

I didn't like Moira at all

I like the story but I didn't like Moira. I found her childish and not pleasant person - I wasn't able to feel any empathy for her and felt really sorry for Kenneth.

An emotional complexity on human communication.

This was a good listen. A believable storyline on the relationship between a women and a men. In general some of the characters could be one I've encountered. I smiled and laughed often while listening. Excellent narration.

A heroine to dislike

Listening to this book I found myself shouting swear words to the worst heroine Mary Balogh has ever written. She waited three months to tell him of her pregnancy (did she think it would go away?) Then during a miscarriage when he insisted on staying with her, calling her his love and crying, the following day she said she couldn’t abide seeing him ever. So he left when he should have stayed. Throughout this story Moira was argumentative and horrible to him. Getting them together took aaaages. I disliked her so much that if it had been a book I would have thrown it across the room. Mary has written some of my favourite books. This is not one of them. But think you might have guessed this!

Rather long and tedious

I found this story difficult to follow and the narrators voice too annoying. Sorry to say these things.
