Theresa Jennings strayed from the path of propriety as a younger woman, though now she'll do anything to secure her child's eventual acceptance on the fringes of polite society. Theresa will even make peace with the titled brother who turned his back on her when she needed him most.

Matthew Belmont is a widower who's been lonely too long. He sees Theresa as a woman paying far too high a price for mistakes long past, and as a lady given too little credit for turning her life around. Theresa is enthralled by Matthew's combination of honorable intentions and honest passion, but then trouble comes calling, and it's clear somebody wants to ruin any chance Theresa and Matthew have for a happily ever after.

Contains mature themes.

I didn’t read the other’s in the series. I just liked this plot better. I didn’t feel I was missing any any plot points.
I enjoyed the maturity of it. It’s was nice to see full adults acting like full adults. It wasn’t a fast read but that worked for me. Who deserves judgement and who deserves forgiveness gets muddled in responsibly, choices and maturity. Mistakes were made some very big over and over sometimes by the same person sometimes the same mistake over and over by even passing characters normalizing just how complicated all of this is. This the first time I saw mention of the fear of childbirth from the male perspective such a simple sentence that said a whole lot.
It’s thinking and slower like some really great books are and I throughly enjoyed it.

Throughly enjoyed!

What a fun read! From start to finish, we watch the couple fall in love with assurity. I LOVED this couple. Both characters were strong and flawed but leaned on each other through it all. The background mysteries were captivating & intriguing. I didn't guess the outcome of either until the last few chapters.

The narration was spot on this time.

I highly recommend!

Wonderful & so ROMANTIC!

I enjoyed Thomas’s story, but this one was so much better. The plot was well developed (even though I guessed early on who the culprit was). Burrowes’ approach was masterful. On to Axel’s story!

So much better than the first installment!

All the books in the series so far have gentle understanding tolerant men and women that need rescuing. The story is mostly the relationship progressing with a little bit of Danger involved. The love scenes are not detailed or overly sensuous in my opinion. Overall this Story was slow and sweet, romantic with a hint of danger excitement at the end. The narrator was very good.

Slow and sweet

First things first...read Thomas before you read this story. it is excellent and you get to know most of the principle characters in this one.

This story moves along well, the romance is believable and the characters are engaging until you get to the really silly climax. In an attempt to insert a mystery into the romance, the author paints herself into a corner and forces a non-dramatic dramatic scene to resolve it which is totally out of character for the rest of the story. The resolution of the drama is eye roll dumb but other than that, a good read.

Good Story with a Silly Ending

I could say again that the story is a little long but all of Burrowes books are a little long so if you are going to listen to her books which you should because she is a good writer, just be aware. Again, Burrowes always has a unique plot with many well developed characters and a lot of twist and turns which make her stories interesting. This time there was even a precocious child to give the story a twist. For this story I was a little disappointed in the ending. I never guessed the minor villain and major villain would be who they were. I thought they were too … Well I don’t want to ruin the ending for you so after you listen to the book you can finish that sentence as you wish. Narrator is always good.

Good book; good series

Love the book. Loved both main characters. Loved Matthew’s patience and faith in Teresa. He saw qualities in her that she didn’t see in herself. He constantly reinforced in her that she was worthy of happiness.

I'm not sure why James Langdon chose to give Matthew a less than strong manly voice, but IMHO the "hero" needs to present a manly voice and strong demeanor. Instead Theresa, the heroine was presented as a much stronger character and much more of a leader than Matthew. The story line was good and the book was fairly well paced....there was just nothing/noone in this book that "popped".

Not the best, but still good
