About this listen

After enduring her unfaithful husband’s murder and the destruction of her reputation, Viscountess Charlotte Haliday resolves to return to society, the gossip-mongers, and her disapproving father. She’ll be content with her true friends and her charitable work.

She doesn’t expect to be working with a man like David Scott: a hero soon to be awarded the Victoria Cross, broken physically yet still the most exhilarating and intimidating man she’s ever known. From the moment they meet in a shadowy alcove, he awakens a passion she’s never before felt. She in turn shows him life did not end on the battlefield…and he needn’t be alone.

Incomsistent, Untrustworthy, Spoiled Brats

The Hero and Heroine both acted like spoiled brats throughout the book. Each demanding immediate trust from the other, while behaving inconsistely to the other, sometimes acting like they had immense love and patience for the other, but when they immediately failed to receive what they wanted, they became immersed in immature self-pity, unkindness, and impatience as each focused on their own unfortunate circumstances.. Handicapped or not, I saw much of the Hero's "heroic" behavior as a self-serving false front, which disolved into pride, self-pity, anger, and pouting, when the heroine failed to immediately meet his ever changing expectations. 3/4 of the way through the book, when the heroine weakened and stupidly tried to give the hero his own foolish and undeserved way, and he rejected her in a pouty and verbally abusive way, I wanted her to move into a different book with a whole new story with a different hero, because I could see absolutely NO HAE with this one. Upon reflection the author simply created characters which were just too flawed for me, and .........despite the ongoing new-age- therapy-self-talk,............. I wasn't able to like them or believe in a future where they could live together happily ever after.
