Waste of a Credit
This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I think this book would be good for anyone who has trouble getting to sleep.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I'm not sure what I'll read next, but I'll be adding this author to my Do Not Read list.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The performance was adequate-- it may even have been good, but since the narrator had so little to work with, it's hard to say.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The lack of chemistry between the two main characters was disappointing. I couldn't imagine what got them together in the first place. It was made more disappointing because the interesting premise was so poorly executed. The plot summary bore little resemblance to the actual plot, and the story dragged on and on. And then, to top it off, the constant mention of prayer and praying made the whole thing just come off as a sermon. So irritating.
Any additional comments?
I listened to the end, hoping that the author would be able to turn it around. That's probably a credit to the narrator.
Courage and love are hand in hand
Any additional comments?
I enjoy reads like this just as much as romances with deeper love scenes. Feelings and the intense love between hero and heroine are strengthened by their understanding and compassion for each others plight, tested by the calamity. Consequently, this is a clean read and highly recommended for new adults.Willa, having it all, suddenly finds herself dreams dissolving. Her love for the Earl of Roydon is everlasting and encompasses her whole heart. Her injury changing her life drastically, would also change his. She wants to let him live his life whole, not married to a woman who is unable to do the very things they enjoy together. And then the possibility of never walking again, could also make child-bearing and rearing difficult. In her mind, the best thing she could give him is his freedom. But is her love strong enough to let him go? Would you be able to do the same thing?John, Earl of Roydon, is a man I wasnt sure about. Did he really love Willa enough to continue his betrothal with her after the injury? As society dictates, he could not break his proposal. It could only be done by Willa. He is very solicitous toward Willa, but there lurks in me the feeling he may be swayed by one of the many women Willa put forward for introduction at her parties. He seems to enjoy himself with them.
