About this audiobook
Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey, is infamously known as the Libertine of Lindsey for his scandalous ways with women. But when he hears gossip that his estranged wife, Evelyn, is about to be named in The Book of Scandal, he has no choice but to remove her from London to protect her and himself from charges of treason - even if it calls for abduction! While Evelyn has no legal recourse against the man who broke her heart years ago but is still considered her lord and master, she is no longer the immature girl Nathan married. Her enforced homecoming quickly turns into a battle of wills that tears down her husband's defenses and lays bare the passion that still burns between them. Before it is too late, Nathan must confront powerful adversaries as he convinces Evelyn that she is not only his wife, but the one woman he will love for all time.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After the death of their sickly son, Nathan and Evelyn Grey's marriage falls apart in a painfully spectacular manner. For three years they have been separated with Evelyn serving as a princess' maid in waiting in London and Nathan at the family seat in the country. When Evelyn is mentioned in connection with a possible scandal involving the royal family, Nathan kidnaps Evelyn to return her to the country and out of scandal's way. At first the pain they caused each other is a barrier between them. Nathan begins to want a real marriage to Evelyn and his feelings are strengthened by attempts on her life. As they begin to heal and help each other with their shared tragedy they must determine who is threatening her life.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm actually quite fond of Julia London's writing, so it's sad that I kind of hated this book. I say 'kind of' because it wasn't until more than halfway through that I realized I couldn't stand Evelyn. So, definitely not one of London's better books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found this book to be realistic. The general plot line was similar to ones I have seen before. A husband kidnapps his wife and they somehow reconnect and fall back in love. But this wasn't the average romance novel. The tale of these two people went much deeper when it included the loss of their child. I found myself sad for them. I felt thier pain and Julia London did a wonderful job showing the reader how each parent dealt with the loss, how it was equally devastating to both. I look for books that make me feel something. This book I will remember because I felt what they were feeling. I have read hundreds of romance novles but this one will continue to stand out as more that just the usual fluff. That beign said at time sI found the heroine frustratingly whiny and found myself rooting for the hero and wishing she'd knock it off. The historical information about the attempted royal divorce was an interesting way to introduce this series. I recommend getting all the Scandal books.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book just irritated me. A society marraige that couldn't bear the strains of life's real pains - that's a great concept, but these characters didn't work and annoyed me. Nathan Grey, Earl of Lindsay virtually kidnaps his estranged wife from her place in court in London and the entire world lets him b/c men have all the power, not a theme to please, but even that theme Evelyn just seemed petulant and whiny. And we were expected to believe that the marriage was okay before their infant died, but they knew so little about each other, that I don't think they ever had a relationship. I didn't believe in them or in their relationship and ended up skimming.
