Publisher's summary

Escape to the magic of the Regency era in this best-selling series! Danger, passion, and swoon-worthy heroes—there is something for everyone in these stories. Follow the entire family on their adventures to find their happily-ever-afters.

When the past collides with the present, will love and courage be enough to conquer the future?

Elinor Abbott was only 14 years old when she and her father left England for America. Six years later, with war at their doorstep, Elinor Abbott is forced to return to her land of birth and a life amongst the aristocracy she abhors. A return to England also means facing the man who brutally attacked her as an adolescent.

Viscount Easton came to the United States at the behest of His Majesty’s Army for his last assignment. He was sent home early due to an injury and must face his new destiny as the heir to an earldom. An unexpected encounter with the unrefined beauty links Easton and Elinor together in society, and he must decide whether to save Elinor’s reputation or hold on to bachelorhood. Can Elinor navigate the perils of coming out in aristocratic England and still retain her sense of identity? Can Easton help her overcome her aversion to men? Or will her past keep her from facing her future?

disjointed storyline and lack of depth

Narrator seemed like she was reading to a group of kids. her voice grated on me and I had a hard time distinguishing between male and female characters. I love elizabeth johns books, but this one was dissapointing. It just seemed like it was a read for beginners.

Narration ruined it for me

I am a great fan of Elizabeth Johns....she's a creative writer with a talent for developing interesting characters. The narrator of this book is new to me....and unappealing. Since, I could not return the book, I may someday attempt to listen again.
