Susan Duerden is the narrator of this audiobook. She follows the words of the novel down to the last letter, an action that can annoy the readers. Some might love her approach but for a few, her style can be cringe-inducing.
Christina Bennett had stirred up a storm in London’s society. The unparalleled beauty guarded her pasts’ secrets until the night, Lyon, Marquis of Lyowood came looking for a kiss. He was an arrogant nobleman who had set his eyes on the woman with a pirate’s passions. When he tasted the wildfire smoldering beneath Christina’s charm, he swore to possess her under all circumstances.
It was his mistake to think that Christina would be easily conquered. Mistress of her fortune and her heart, she withstood Lyon’s sensuous caresses. She didn’t dare surrender to his love. If she did, she would forsake her precious secret, and with that, she will lose her promised destiny.
The story is captivating from start to finish. It is certainly not your typical historical romance; as a result, it is not a victim to the tropes that these books follow. It is recommended not only for romance lovers but also for those who live Native American stories.
