About this listen

Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh delights fans with historical romantic tales that touch the heart. After her husband dies in a freak accident, Lady Gwendoline Muir never dreams she’ll love again. So when soldier-turned-nobleman Lord Hugo Trentham stirs feelings in her that have lain dormant for years, she can’t help but imagine his strong embrace. Hugo finds himself drawn to Gwen, but he’s never courted a woman before. Can he muster the right words to make Gwen open her heart and love once more?

It is like listening to a play. Also a good storyline. Listened to it a couple of times actually.

Superb performance

Love conquers all and there is a lot of trauma, insecurity and class difference to overcome. The narrator was very good.

Enjoyable

excellent

I enjoyed being swept along by the budding slow-burn romance between the main characters. I did get a little annoyed by the narrator’s pronunciation of the word ‘off’!!!

Utter escapism!

The first in the Survivors Club, which I started out of sequence, reading the 2nd ‘The Arrangement’ first. But if you can, read this one first. It kinda sets the stage and introduces everyone, although you can catch the drift with any of them.

This has been a year of Mary Balogh for me, and wonderfully, this series seems to be my favourite (I’ve read 3 prior), this series has so much depth due to its subject matter - the real aftermath of war. The psychological scars as well as the physical wounds - coupled with “getting on” with life, family and relationships! This series is well worth investing in. Mary Balogh writes endearing characters and her world is inclusive, the odd character from a previous series may well have a cameo.

This was fantastically narrated by Rosalyn Landor, accents, timbre and status beautifully rendered.

The Best Series

A lovely story with such a likeable hero and heroine.
Hugo was a tiny bit tiresome at times with his lack of confidence, but endearing overall. Gwendolyn was charming. The story moved at a good pace.
Missed Rosalyn Landor’s narration, but Rebecca de Leeuw was good on the whole.

Likeable characters

This is the second Mary Balogh book that I’ve listened to and it didn’t disappoint. Her characters are likeable and the situations believable.
