Christie Kelley has delivered yet another captivating and enjoyable Regency romance with her story of an accident, one person's sacrifice, one person'..Show More »s guilt and the devastating consequences that followed. Matthew and Jennette's story is heartbreaking as fate had intervened and robbed them of furthering the mutual attraction they once shared and so, for 5 years, they remained apart..... but fate hadn't quite finished with them!

This listen made me want to skip to the end to make sure Matthew and Jennette finally got their long awaited HEA but I had to remind myself that it's the riveting romantic journey that counts - so I trusted in the talented author to take me on that journey...... and what a journey it was. It was filled with secrets, misunderstandings galore, sizzling chemistry, lust, passion, sex, a couple of nasty characters plotting and planning on revenge, other great secondary characters, some "Oh no!, Ahhh yes", "Mmmm" moments and then, eventually, and eventfully, a "sigh" as I was thankfully rewarded with my long awaited romantic HEA.

Although there are characters and passing comments about events from the previous book, this could easily be a stand-alone listen.

Worth a credit? I'm loving this series and have just downloaded the remaining 3 books in the series so that's a YES and if you too enjoy a good historical romance then I hope you will think so too.

I absolutely adore the series. I somehow managed to skip the first two books and read the third and I liked it so much that I purchased the last two b..Show More »ooks and read them all in three days. Now I must go back and read the first two books. The characters are built so completely that as a reader you really feel connected to them. Yes as most books go, in order to have the story last longer, the main characters always have to fight their inner feelings and go against what they truly want in order to “save” the person they love and this series is no different. To tell the truth I do not find this appealing at all in romance. Perhaps that is a personal fault of mine and not that of the author. And yes I do believe in sacrifice but once I make up my mind I dive in and don’t leave room for doubt and try never to second-guess myself. So it’s hard for me to see all the inner push and pull associated with characters in romance in general. Still, I strongly recommend at least the last three books I have read in the series regardless of my distaste for the parts mentioned.
