Years later, the girl Colton spurned has blossomed into an uncommon beauty desired by every eligible bachelor in the land, except the man she desires, the decorated hero who has finally returned home. As arrogant and seductive as ever, Colton agrees to court Lady Adriana for ninety days to prove that love cannot be forced, after which time he will be free. But this stunning, spirited woman is far different from the young chit he left behind. And a heroic heart, once tightly closed, is now susceptible to Adriana's charm and sensuality, even as dark secrets and a rival's treachery threaten to steal her from Colton's arms forever.

Never buy an abridged book!
I read this book in paper years ago and thought it might be fun to hear it read. The abridged version left out so much that it made the story silly and characters became one dimensional and boring.
IF YOU'VE READ THE BOOK, DON'T BUY AUDIO VERSION!
Bottom line is this is my ALL TIME favorite HR book period. I read it yearly in print, but this abridged version is terrible. They have cut all the great parts and back story out to the point your like hey, how did we get here and why are we here. You lose time and place during the story. Buy the book it is AWESOME!
I really do not like the "Abridged" Version
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I love this book, but I cannot stand that it left out key parts to the story.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
For a start I would get someone who is much younger and not a smoker. She is interesting, but it was weird to hear a story like this through this voice.
What three words best describe Lynn Redgraves performance?
I don't know
Did The Reluctant Suitor inspire you to do anything?
NO
Any additional comments?
Please get the unabridged version! I love this story but you are missing key elements. Also, please get a younger person to read the story.
Not her best
I have read most of Kathleen Woodiwiss novels, however this is far from her best. I did not finish it. Not near as entertaining as The Flame and the Flower
Sexy, but poorly written
The story was very formulaic and the language was painful to read at times. The use of the word "orbs" to refer to eyes over and over again made me wince each time I heard it...
