Publisher's summary

Captain Gideon Whitlock never thought to see the woman he spent one unforgettable night with again. His years at war have changed him into a different man - one he feels certain she could never bring herself to love.

Sylvia Whitlock has moved on from being abandoned the man she eloped with following a reckless night of passion. Telling herself she doesn’t want or need him, she dedicates her life to healing the wounded, traumatized soldiers of the Crimean War as a nurse.

When Gideon’s suddenly appears at the home for soldiers where Sylvia has taken a new position, they will both be forced to face their past. They must also consider what their future will be, and whether the pain of their separation will prove enough to keep them apart for good.

Beautiful

Ms. Marion has written a love story that defies the norms of contemporary romance novels. Is it a romance? Most definitely. A beautiful one, with a brave and honorable hero and an equally courageous and perseverant heroine. But it does not (thank God!) follow the currently popular pattern of leaving the reader gasping at some conflict or other thrown in at the end of every chapter. Instead, it is a true love story about the courage needed to make a love tried by circumstance endure. Gideon fulfilled his duty while fighting in the Crimean War, fully planning on returning to his wife. But once he is injured in body and mind, he decides his beloved would be better off without him. Simple enough. But Sylvia cherished her captain before he left and remains ready and willing to love him regardless of how war has changed him. I was fortunate to receive a copy of this audiobook from the author, and I am eagerly awaiting her next book.

Beautiful Story!

This is a superb story which has been well narrated by Sarah Kempton.
I too have lived through a very traumatic time in my life and I know how difficult it is to find the first little glimmer of sunshine so I totally felt for our hero, Gideon with his problem after his stint in the war.
Because of his PTSD problem, his wife, Sylvia believes he has abandoned her so when they meet up again she is livid and lets him know that in no uncertain terms but she doesn't know why he has avoided her and slowly, as the story unfolds, she learns of his problem.
The story tells of how they work together to rebuilt the trust on both sides. The original love is still there and they work on all their difficulties that they need to overcome in order to have a second chance in love together.
Beautifully written, I felt every single emotional tug and am definitely recommending both the book and the audio version.
I requested and listened to a free copy of the audiobook and my voluntary and unbiased review is recorded above.
