Publisher's Summary:

Strong as a Viking. Handsome as Adonis. Rich as Midas. Collin "Cole" Talmage, Duke of Trewyth, is the stuff that legends are made of. He's the English Empire's golden son - until fate has its way with him. Cole's family is killed and his closest comrade betrays him on the battlefield, leaving him gravely injured. But Cole is not one to dwell on misfortune. He is a man of duty, honor, and desire. And now he's ready for the fight of his lifetime....

Imogen Pritchard is a beautiful lass who works in a hospital by day and as a serving maid at night. Years ago, when she was young and penniless, she ended up spending a scandalous night with Cole, whose tormented soul was matched only by his earth-shattering passion. Imogen entered a marriage of convenience - one that left her a wealthy widow - but she never forgot Cole. Now that her long-lost lover has turned up in her hospital, injured and with no memory of her, Imogen is torn. Is it a blessing or a curse that their past remains a secret to Cole, even as his new passion for her leaves him wanting to protect and possess her at all costs? Contains mature themes.

Members Reviews:

One Great Series...Book 4

Narrator: Derek Perkins does a good job...again.

Liked this one also. Really like Cole in the beginning not so much after he came back.

Imogen & Cole both go through a lot. The emotions felt real. Pretty captivating.

Like when characters from previous books all come to give a hand.

One thing with all 4 books is that the endings do feel kind of rushed.

Good

I liked this listen. Normally, I wouldn't say this about an audio book being too long, but this was. This was a dramatic story . With very few funny scenes. Although I did laugh when Imogen gets drunk. The suspense was good. And Derek Perkins does a great job narrating.

Sensuous

Which character as performed by Derek Perkins was your favorite?

Derek Perkins is one of my all time favorite narrators. I can visualize every detail as he performs the story. He has the ability to bring characters voices into focus for each individual person. For this story, Cole was my favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh, and hold my breath at various times during the performance. What I liked the least was that the Rook was not disclosed, will this be another book to the series? Or was Jeremy the Rook? It was mentioned that he had dock connections.

Any additional comments?

This has been an excellent series. It has pulled the stories of Dorian, Liam and Christopher together with Cole as one grand book bringing each in to interact with the lead characters of the book and not overly reliving the other stories. I find it annoying in some of the other series I have read for the author to continually repeat how a person fits into the story. There is suspense, desparation and of course delicious love making.

Definitely worth the credit

This is a great series; I loved each book! Kerrigan Byrne gives us such interesting characters to spend time with. Book 3, The Highlander, was my favorite, but all were good. Derek Perkins is one of my favorite narrators. He really makes a story come alive. I'm always looking for good historical romances narrated by Mr. Perkins.

Kind of distressed

Would you try another book from Kerrigan Byrne and/or Derek Perkins?

Definitely yes.
