Summary
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....

A lesson in total selfishness.
The hero is totally self-absorbed. Imposes his opinion of what the heroine likes and needs on her. When she is fourteen, he gives her adult kiss. Then, though he thinks of her as a child, he has sex with her. He puts her up on a shelf and forgets about her. until others pay her attention. He never once asked her what she wanted, as he knew what was good for her. Then he takes her away, saying this is not the life she really wants. He is actually grooming her, to uses and discard as he wishes. Marriage to such a man would be excruciating.
It is always fascinating what "LOVE" is meant to tolerate. It is like self-flagilation. She is so in love and, of course, "deaf"; she accepts the abuse. She has others who love, yet she relies on this "Jerk", what a idiot!!!

Very sweet story
The narrator was excellent and portrayed the voice of a deaf mute rather well.
I am always amazed at how heroines in regency romance got away with extramarital affairs with no pregnancies.

Too much angst
Drama queens in abundance spoil what could have been a really good story. Excellent narration.

Disappointed
I normally enjoy this author but I was very disappointed in this book.
It was boring I got to chapter 5 and gave up
story rambled onwards, much to wordy I am so sorry to give this a bad review. Maybe I am not in the mood will try and read it again, Rosalind Landor was amazing as usual she was the reason I got as far as chapter 5.
If the review changes next time I re-listen I will be happy to review it again.
