Synopsis

Due to the terms of an estranged relative's will, the Duke of Silkridge must revisit the cold, unforgiving mountains where he lost everything he once loved. As soon as he rights his family legacy, he'll return to London where he belongs. He definitely won't rekindle the forbidden spark crackling between him and the irresistible spitfire he'd left behind... Noelle Pratchett is immune to charming rakehells like the arrogant duke. He stole her heart, stole her first kiss, and then stole away one night never to return. Now he's back—and so are all the old feelings. Noelle knows he won't stay. But how can she maintain her icy shields when every heated glance melts her to her core?

My Review

This is a wonderful book. I loved this style of writing it's thoroughly enjoyable. I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator was brilliant. She has a fantastic range of voices some will a little hint of humour. The author and narrator added a real sense of atmosphere and tension that had me at the edge of my seat. I loved the fact that it was a shorter novel packed full of interesting people. The book had a brilliant fast pace to it and became a real page turner. I loved the ending of the book. Will he stay or will he go. Im not telling you it will spoil the book . I will definitely be looking for more books by this author. I would like to thank the author and publishers for bringing this fantastic romance novel to life. It was truly wonderful to read and hard to put down. I want more now.
