About this listen

Viscount Rawleigh longs for a little diversion, and beautiful young widow Catherine Winters seems like easy prey. But Rex's target is a lady of virtue, and when she roundly rejects his proposal to become his mistress, Rex finds himself faced with a delectable challenge. Catherine knows she must fight the indecent feelings the Viscount arouses within her. But even though she knows one kiss could bring her to ruin, temptation proves an insurmountable foe, and Catherine cannot ignore the beating of her treacherous heart....

From the New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh comes the first novel in the Horsemen trilogy - a scandalous romance of yearning passion and dangerous desires.

Indiscreet

Book 1 of series- Loved the story of redemption. Loved that two people were able to overcome some dark parts of their past to move forward and learn to love and trust each other. Look forward to reading the other novels in this series.

Stockholm syndrome;

This is not a romance as it is a horror/drama story. and it's probably more indicative of what relationship we're like a the time.
I do enjoy Mary Balogh tales and this one was well written but heartbreaking in Katherines inability to protect and defend herself. I mean she is given a happily ever after, but can't help suspect it's Stockholm syndrome and that Rex will always be over bearing.
Rosalyn Landor is a consummate narrator as always 🥰

A satisfying romance

Great writing complemented by excellent narration. The story and mix of characters felt realistic of Regency times. It developed at a pace that kept me engaged to the end in hope of the HEA. The leads each carried their own shameful burdens close to their hearts but managed to emotionally evolve. Their relationship seemed organic, growing over time from lust-filled disinterest to mutual appreciation, understanding and love. I particularly liked the last few chapters of the book. Bravo to their HEA.

Enjoyable in the end

This book was difficult in the beginning, I really disliked Rex, he was horrible, bordering on being nearly obsessive. It took me a loooong time to warm to him and I nearly sent this book back. You'd never think so, however it did have a happy ever after. I like the how a lot of Mary Balogh books have the wedding in the middle and we get to see some of the afterwards. I'm glad I stuck with it. It's difficult to stomach what women had to endure in those time, very frustrating but very real. Narration was perfect as usual.

Very Disturbing

OK, I realise this is a bodice ripper and not attempting to be high literature, but honestly.
The 'hero' of the story is a vile creep of a man who is sexually harassing a woman. this is not the sort of book i would ever recommend to anyone as it glorifies the misogynistic ideas we are warning our young woman about.
This author has written nothing but a book that makes sexual assault desirable and something woman should desire.
Badly done
