For five pounds sterling, the convict was hers. Though Cassie hated the slave trade, her Virginia plantation demanded the labor, and she knew this fevered man would surely die if she left him. But as his wounds healed, and as his muscled chest bronzed from the sun, Cassie realized Cole Braden was far more dangerous than his papers had indicated - for he could steal her breath with a glance or lay siege to her senses with a touch. Abducted, beaten, and given a new name, Alec Kenleigh went from master of an English shipbuilding empire to 14 years of indentured servitude in the American colonies. There, he was known as Cole Braden, a convicted ravisher and defiler of women. While he longed to ravish the auburn-haired beauty who owned him, he knew his one hope of earning her love - and his freedom - was to prove his true identity. Only then could he turn the tables and obtain his sweet release.

Contains mature themes.

This is a great love story with lots of twist and turns.
I thought the characters were well wriithen and played well off of each other. This book shows the diference between men and women stations in this time of our history. It also show the diference between England and the America's on their view of slavery.

Loved it! Such realistic in depth characters! I am delightfully drawn in every time to Ms. Pamela Clare's beautiful story telling. And the way Kaleo narrates, I fast forget he is only one man! Two great talents that are essential to keep together! 😀

Stellar performance and an unforgettable story!!!

3/5 rating: the book overall was interesting. The talent of the author is in creating captivating, 3-dimensional characters in interesting situations.

I liked it, but it really drags in spots. 14 hours is way too long for the type of book it is (a standard thrown together but kept apart theme). It took 8 hours for the first major plot point. I wanted to give it a 4/5 for the story, but I was so annoyed by the endless talking by the end.

And there is a lot of repetition between books.

The narration is excellent, though.

Liked it but it's way too long!

the storyline was so interesting and unique... And the characters Verso versatile and intriguing. I really enjoyed this book. And it's nice to have a strong female character instead of a weak-minded one

such a good book!

I loved the story and Paleo Griffith never disappoints, however it was way too drawn out and the ending rushed.

Great story but too long.

I really was not certain if I would like this book because I am not a huge fan of the historical romances in Colonial America. I know I may sound silly but I really like the proper British dance rooms and the gossiping mammas, the forbidden kisses, the grand outfits of the time and the wall flowers, etc. Thus needless to say the issues I had with this book is my issues and nothing to do with this beautiful story. The book started out strong and the added action toward the end made the book even more engaging, but as an Amazon reviewer wrote the ending became a bit "too unbelievable... the way everything was resolved so easily, even though (Spoiler) the h was single and pregnant in Colonial America. The acceptance of her situation is far too modern an idea to be realistic and I had a hard time suspending my belief about that aspect of things".
I realize many enjoyed the narration, however, I felt his female voice did not sound appropriate, although his male voices were wonderful. A distractor for me every time I heard a whiny voice for especially the heroine. If you are a fan of the historical romance in the Colonial America time, then you will enjoy this book. I am not and I still enjoyed this book thoroughly.

Surprisingly good

I tend to prefer audiobooks between 7 to 10 hours. It usually feels too long or short otherwise. This book proves more isn't better it's just more. While I did read the book I found myself fast forwarding through various parts. I did like the narrator and will likely try another book from this author.

a bit long

How did I miss this Pamela Clare Trilogy? I don't know but I'm better late than never!

Pamela Clare's writing always has detailed history, emotional story, tender romances, and memorable characters. Kaleo Griffith's narration adds so much dimension to her stories. He manages to give each character a unique voice and his inflections are spot on. Love this author/narration combination.

I will be listening to the others in this trilogy because PC's books get better as the series progresses. I've never been disappointed with her books. :-)



Wonderful Story and Narration

great story

There is so much to the plot of this book. The author doesn’t take the easy road by having one main conflict that gets resolved and the story ends. No way, this plot is full of problems and solutions, good experiences and bad experiences, complex and simple characters and the list could go on. This is an awesome, unique historical romance and it was a fabulous listen. Hit download, you won’t be disappointed!
