Summary

Once the Countess of Riverdale, Viola Kingsley throws all caution to the wind when adventure calls in the form of a handsome aristocrat....

Two years after the death of the Earl of Riverdale, his family has overcome the shame of being stripped of their titles and fortune - except for his onetime countess, Viola. With her children grown and herself no longer part of the social whirl of the ton, she is uncertain where to look for happiness - until quite by accident her path crosses once again with that of the Marquess of Dorchester, Marcel Lamarr.

Marcel Lamarr has been a notorious womanizer since the death of his wife nearly 20 years earlier. Viola caught his eye when she herself was a young mother, but she evaded his seduction at the time. A prize that eluded him before, she is all the more irresistible to him now although he is surprised to discover that she is as eager now for the excitement he offers as he is himself.

When the two defy convention and run away together, they discover that the ties of respectability are not so easily severed, and pleasure can ensnare you when you least expect it....

Simply Lovely

There is no one better than Rosalyn Landor to read these marvellous stories of the Westcots . So enjoyable.

Exasperating

I was exasperated with the main characters of this book.
A 40 year old man who spent 17 years partying and womanising, ignoring his own children because he blamed himself for their mother’s death.
A 42 year old woman who recklessly embarked on a solo trip with no protection in an unsafe carriage.
Families on both sides who standby waiting for these two to grow up.
Ironically the children do a better job of being adults in this tale.
Not the best Wescott instalment in my opinion

The Most Romantic Tale

This was an easy listen. Rosalyn Landor is an ideal narrator.
This is an easy listen of an identity conflict story. Viola doesn’t really know who she is or what identity she should/could embrace and has just about had enough!

Her seemingly idealistic desire to just give herself some space, backfires on her, living her stranded in an Inn. Then fortuitously (maybe), she encounters a blast from her past. They jointly decide to run away from their responsibilities, taking a break from reality for a short while.

What could possibly go wrong? After all, they’re not hurting anyone!

A lovely, romantic tale.

thank God for an older couple

at last someone has the courage to write a romance where the main characters are more mature.

Enjoyable…

After a slow start it got better and better …
Charming story but not the best in this series - and no loss if one hasn’t purchased/ listened to it …

Enjoyable

With the exception of a few mawkish moments, a good story with likeable characters. Rosalind Landor's voices are excellent but she does overdo the treacle in places.

The role of Viola her fears and position

Loved the discovery of a more mature love, that it wasn’t just young blood relationships. That life changes and challenges you

My favourite Mary Balogh so far!

Simply perfect and so wonderful to have a story with a slightly older heroine. Didn't want this one to end!

Seriously tedious.

The Hero pushed his wife away from him and she accidentally fell out of a window. So he turned his back against his twin children and fell into debauchery. His irritating younger brother and pious sister-in-law play a apart in this on going monologue. The Heroine steps out of her role as a virtuous woman and suffers mental anguish. The Committee gets involved, so lots more opinions and over acting. The only thing that might have uplifted the story is if there had been a pregnancy. Not worth listening to, alot of fastwarding. The end was predictable and boring, a pity about the rubbish in between.
