Synopsis

From the legendary New York Times bestselling author of Heartless comes an exquisite Georgian romance of a transcendent love, “without doubt, one of the most romantic novels ever written.”* Lady Emily Marlowe is beautiful, independent, and unspoiled. Deaf since childhood, she appreciates her family’s efforts to nurture her spirit, but the man they’ve chosen for her betrothal can never fulfill her. The only one Emily has ever desired is bold and reckless Lord Ashley Kendrick. Her childhood amour inspired her fantasies and vowed never to forget her—even as he left her for a new life in India and a new love. Seven years and countless dreams later, Ashley has returned a desolate widower to Bowden Abbey and, true to his promise, to Emily. Yet his heedless proposal of marriage has left her unexpectedly conflicted. Though the heat of passion still burns, Emily fears that it’s only a sense of duty—not love—that has brought him to bended knee. And what is she to make of those seven lost years clouded in secrets too dark for Ashley to share? For Emily, her greatest and only love now becomes one worth fighting for, one of startling revelations and second chances, and one, like a melody, too beautiful for words. … * Romance Forever

Goodreads review by Laura on March 14, 2009

Quite often, in a romance novel, one of the main couple will get married and then return. This provides a lot of conflict, which is nice, and then something has to happen to remove the wife or husband that is in the way. Usually gives you lots of delicious angst to work with. So in this book, the Her......more

Goodreads review by Jan on September 29, 2021

3.5 stars. A sequel to the wonderful Heartless, but sadly not as involving as Book 1. The main characters are already established from Book 1. There is Emmy, the young deaf woman with the beautiful and pensive soul, and Ashley, the sad and confused young man who has come back from his years in India......more

4 Estrellas. Pese a las críticas en contra que he leído sobre este libro, lo he disfrutado y me ha gustado mucho. Puede que lo diga casi siempre, pero con Mary Balogh no soy imparcial, es mi preferida y adoro todo lo que escribe; aunque soy la primera que admite que ha tenido pinchazos en su bibliog......more

Goodreads review by Bibliotecaria recomienda on December 12, 2018
