Publisher's summary

Four years ago, Alex, a second son, had planned a life together with Lady Patience. However, when Patience was betrothed to his brother, the heir, Alex left his family's estate and joined the military. Alex returns to assume the title Duke of Bedford when his brother unexpectedly dies. He is unprepared for both his new responsibilities and the reunion with Patience. The horrors of war are a heavy burden, and when he learns that Patience never married his brother, he is stunned.

Patience withstood the bullying of her fiance and her father for four long years. She refuses to marry Alex just because he's the duke, especially if he no longer loves her. How would that be better than what she has already endured? Promises made in their youth are not enough to overcome the changes life has wrought for them, but love can grow and transform - if only Patience could believe that.

Contains mature themes.

Mehh

I loved the other two in this series BUT this one was lacking for me. The woman Patience was sort of annoying, immature and ignorant. She wanted to be treated like an adult but did nothing to help herself. The story started off good then fell flat

Narrator

Loved the story, but the Narrator was hard to listen to. She reads in a chopped way with odd pauses between the words.

Please get a different narrartor

Definitely was not my favorite by Ms Hutton. The story had so much potential when it began but it quickly went down hill. The parents where crap. And I felt bad for the lead characters being cheated out of love even though she was literally 16 but considering the style I suppose I will ignore the age difference since that was apparently customary during that time. But the heroine grated on my last never the entire second half of the story. And let’s not get me started on the NARRATION!!! I had to speed it up to be able to make it through the whole book.

Loved the story, but the narrator was choppy and boring! Maybe next time they should preview the narrator’s performance!

Producer needs to help

The story was a really good , telling stories about abuse and overcoming their problems. But the producer should choose a narrator the matches the book. Charlotte would be wonderful for children’s books.

Horrible Narration, decent book

The Narration was not good for this book. Honestly I’m not so picky about narration but this was bad lol

The story was good

It was good until the last hr. I did not like her lady graces spoiled poor me attitude. She withholds until she feels alex poor man is acting like she thinks he should. I dont care what happened to her she needs to grow up.

The narrator is terrible

Don’t bother trying to listen. The narrator is terrible and the book is pretty bad.

Fun romance stories with a bit of a twist.

I enjoyed the first three books but had to speed them up a bit. If these had a better narrator I think they would have been so much more entertaining.

Difficult to finish

while the book was good, I had a hard time finishing it due to the reader. At times she sounds like a two year old talking and other times she reminded me of a bored teenager with no infliction in her tone at all. when reading in between the characters she sounds great.
