'Cold Hearted Rake' is the predecessor to this book. I read a lot of reviews were people complained because this book wasn't good as a standalone. Lisa Kleypas is one of the best and most authentic Historical Romance authors there is!! I Highly Recommend Marrying Winterborne!! I really can't wait for the next book in the Ravenel series. Angst is used for authors who have no story to tell. I really like the fact that there is virtually no ridiculous Angst in this story. Also, it shows a clear commitment that Helen has made toward Rhys.

This story starts out with hot sexy and sensuous loving making scenes, which I feel was necessary to the way the story is written. Fernsby and Lady Berwick are colorful and delightful. It's realistic and the story feels like a historical romance instead of a contemporary romance pretending to be Historic. The love they share just oozes off the pages. He is a wonderful hero and he does all that is necessary for his heroine Helen. Rhys Winterborne is my new imaginary lover. She is strong as nails but as soft and kind and sensible as Cream. She not hard or cold like so many Historical romance heroines are. I loved Helen she is a strong female character and very feminine. But they are not the same characters at all. I have been reading this authors books since 1993 and this is NOT A REPRINT!! There is a similarity with Simon Hunt from Secrets of a Summers Night. I Loved, Loved Marrying Winterborne!! Let me say I saw a review that said this was a republished book by Lisa Kleypas. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? But she did an excellent job in narration Marrying Winterborne!! Very good Narrator!!


Have you listened to any of Mary Jane Wells’s other performances before? How does this one compare? There are similarities between Simon Hunt and Rhys Winterborne of Marrying Winterborne. What other book might you compare Marrying Winterborne to and why? Yes The story is very good and so is the narration!! Would you listen to Marrying Winterborne again? Why?
