Publisher's summary

Propriety forbade them....

From the moment Niall Gibbs lays eyes on Lady Olivia Goodall, he is entranced. Even as a young boy her fragile beauty calls to something deep inside him, making it difficult to stay away from her. And stay away he should, since she happens to be the daughter of his master: an earl who would not take kindly to the attentions of a stable groom. Yet, as they grow to adulthood, Olivia and Niall’s visceral connection becomes undeniable. The two skirt danger and shun propriety for any stolen moments they can find, even knowing their love can ever be.

Tragedy ruined them....

When Olivia goes off to London for her first Season, Niall doesn’t think to ever see her again. However, she returns a year later, ruined, with a newborn babe in her arms and a mind riddled by torment. Following a brutal assault and months spent languishing in an unwed mothers’ asylum, she finds herself plunged into an existence of pain, darkness, and regret. Niall would give anything to bring her back into the light, including descend into the darkness along with her.

Love will save them....

As Olivia tries to fight her way back, it seems as if they might stand a chance after all. But Niall can never forget the difference in their stations, while Olivia still wrestles with the ghosts of her past. Can they overcome it all to find the happiness that has eluded them for so long?

An Excellent Addition to the series

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

This is the continuing story with Adams sister Olivia and butler Neill.. who happened to also be Adams best friend.

Neill had grown up with both Adam and Olivia and had always loved Olivia, but being the Stable Masters son, he was not good enough for Olivia.. However, that did not both Neill and Olivia from falling in love.

Olivia's stepfather had found out about Neill and Olivia and ordered Neill to break it off, which he did. Olivia is off to London for her coming out, where she meets Bertram, who ends up raping her and leaving her with child.

Olivia ends up with a mental break down and Adam and Neill bring her home and look after her.

Neill had never stopped loving Olivia, nor Olivia stopped loving Neill.

This was such a nice love story for the two of them.. that you don't want the story to end.

Victoria Vale and Darcy Stark have done it again. Great story and great narration!!

Dark, gritty and absolutely delicious!

I don't know what I was expecting but I certainly didn't expect to be completely blown away by this book. I'm pretty new to Victoria Vale's books (having only read 1 of her titles) I was excited to read a dark story from her and she didn't disappoint at all.

Niall and Olivia's love story isn't an easy one to witness. They had to give so many trials and tests, my heart hurt for them. But VV made everything worth it. She tied up everything so beautifully, I was left in utter awe. The story was dark, passionate, delicious and frankly I loved every bit of it.

The narration was spectacularly done. I think I am in love with Darcy Stark's style, voice and narration. They captured all of the emotions so perfectly, I could actually feel them.

I am definitely going to want to listen to more books from them. I've become a fan!

Not all butterflies are free

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review." This was the first book written by Victoria Vale that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it [maybe not all the explicit sex]. The story revolves around Lady Olivia Goodall, through flashbacks, from the age of six to about twenty-three At the age of 10 she fell in love with the son of her step-father's stable manager, and the love lasted throughout the story. When Lady Victoria went to London for her presentation, she was raped by a peer and housed in a mental institute when she accused the gentleman. It is a gripping story and I enjoyed it. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Wow. Amazing writing

I love this series so much. It’s so full of heartache and pain. I definitely hope there’s a warning to people who might be triggered by this book, I didn’t notice. I’ve never read in such great detail about pain and post traumatic stress like I have with Livy. The author does such a great job writing about her struggles with her addiction. It’s such a happy and redemptive ending, I’m so glad I finally got to this one. I wish we could get another amazing series by VV!

Awed

I am touched by the story. Even the title is perfect. Very well written by Ms. Victoria Vale. More so, the performance of the narrator. He made me feel the emotions the characters went through. You can define each character, and Mr Darcy is amazingly great. As If I'm watching it unfold in front of me. I would recommend reading while listening the audiobook, you won't be putting it down once you started it.

I was given this free review copy of the audiobook and have given my honest review of it.
