Synopsis

Adrianna Moore has just had a double shock: the death of her father and the discovery that he has left his entire estate to his lawyer. The lawyer, a repulsive social climber, tells her that to regain her inheritance, she must marry him "a week from Sunday." Adrianna takes off, driving desperately to a new life. Caught in a violent rainstorm, she collides with an oncoming truck. Quinn Baxter, the driver of the truck, demands repayment for his lost cargo. They reach a bargain: she will live in his home, tutor his bedridden younger brother, and play piano in Quinn's tavern to pay off her debt. Drawn to the rugged Quinn and challenged by the interaction with the tavern patrons, she also must deal with an intractable foe—Quinn's housekeeper, who is scheming to become his wife. All the while, the spurned lawyer is following Adrianna's trail, determined to find her and force her to marry him.

The cheesey voices, the overdramatic nuances, I've never been so annoyed by a book on CD!

AudiobooksNow review by Stacy on 2008-12-07 18:24:46

The main character's a scared little timid mouse, the narrator reads so amazingly slow and if I hadn't had nothing else to listen to I wouldn't have even finished the stupid thing. Not one of my favorites.

Couldn't get into the voices that much. I am from the South and family very much Cajun, however the book was not all that good and i quite new what was going to happen before it happened. Was not very good at all.

Goodreads review by Jane on June 15, 2017

Most of the book was good and kept my interest, but I did not like heroine stupidity and wimpiness. If you knew someone planned to kill you and lived in the same house with you and prepared the food you ate, would you continue living there, sleeping there, and eating their food? Annie does and she do......more

Goodreads review by Rochelle on December 14, 2019

It was okay. The description on the back of the book gave me high expectations that weren't nearly met. It took place in 1930s Louisiana so there should have been atmosphere in spades, but there was none to be found. The story was formulaic and the characters lacked depth; a quick unmemorable read.......more

Goodreads review by Mary on December 20, 2021

I found this book interesting in that it took place in a small logging town. There were so many things that I didn’t like about this author’s writing….the brawls and the cruel people and the way they treated a stranger that was a good person. I have another book by her and am reluctant to read it.......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on August 12, 2022

This was a tough book to power through. If you like older romance novels, you'll probably love this one. I'm not sure why it was labeled "erotic literature" on the app I read it from. There was dismally minimal spice. The characters were very one dimensional. It's not the worst book I've ever read,......more
