Publisher's summary

Lord Philippe Lavay once took to the high seas armed with charm as lethal as his sword, and a stone-cold conviction: he'll restore his family's fortune and honor, no matter the cost. Victory is at last within reach - when a brutal attack snatches it from his grasp and lands him in Pennyroyal Green.

An afternoon of bliss brings a cascade of consequences for Elise Fountain. She is shunned by her family and ousted from a job she loves, and her survival means a plummet down the social ladder to a position no woman has yet been able to keep: housekeeper to a frighteningly formidable prince.

The bold and gentle Elise sees past his battered body into Philippe's barricaded heart...and her innate sensuality ignites his blood. Now a man who thought he could never love and a woman who thought she would never again trust must fight an incendiary passion that could be the ruin of them both.

Contains mature themes.

Wonderful

I never leave reviews, but this book, heck, this series, is fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough. The story, characters, dialogue, narrator, and author are all wonderful. I find myself not being able to stop listening and even falling asleep listening too long! Ha! I laugh out loud and I gasp! I love Julie Anne Long. I can’t wait to read more of her work once I’m finished with this series.

Enjoyed it

Narration was great. Justine Eyre has been a slow acquired taste for me as I really hated her voice in the past but with time and finding a good speed to listen to her with ( usually .95x) I've come to actually really love her.

This one was an enjoyable installment. Lovely story and good characters and plot.

She Did It Again

I'm loving this series. LaVey in love is a wise man. I continue to be impressed with this author's character development.

BEAUTIFULLY ROMANTIC!

If you enjoy a good old fashion love story, you will fall in love with this novel. I did not give it an overall 5 star rating because I CRAVE adventure. This novel does NOT have any of that. It is a wonderfully written story of two very OPPOSITE people falling in love and forming a family and a home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. The narration is excellent; the French accent of Justine Erye is perfection! Do NOT hesitate to spend your credit on this listen.
