Summary

A temporary engagement, a lifetime in the making . . .

After years of fending for herself, Kate Taylor found friendship and acceptance in Spindle Cove - but she never stopped yearning for love. The very last place she'd look for it is in the arms of Corporal Thorne. The militia commander is as stone cold as he is brutally handsome. But when mysterious strangers come searching for Kate, Thorne steps forward as her fiancé. He claims to have only Kate's safety in mind. So why is there smoldering passion in his kiss?

Long ago, Samuel Thorne devoted his life to guarding Kate's happiness. He wants what's best for her, and he knows it's not marriage to a man like him. To outlast their temporary engagement, he must keep his hands off her tempting body and lock her warm smiles out of his withered heart. It's the toughest battle of this hardened warrior's life...and the first he seems destined to lose.

A darker but fascinating story

I loved Samuel and his dreadful but fascinating past. He didn’t let Katie down at any point but tried to do the best thing for her. The new family were interesting and I’d love to hear what happens to them. I’ve listened to all the Spindle Cove books and am now coming back for a second listen.
I love all the very large virile male heroes in this series!

Not your typical romance

An exciting, dashing, and unexpected romance. Wonderful characters bring this story to life with witty humor and style.

Loved this couple

A continuation of the Spinster Cove series and I think my favourite one so far, although I did love Colin & Minerva's story.
Kate & Thorne are a great couple and their story was very interesting and held my attention throughout. The sudden appearance of the new family holidaying in the Cove could have been jarring to the story but after initial doubts I thought they worked rather well.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series.

the worst of spindle cove

such a shame. I loved the rest but this was too unremittingly dour. Both hero and heroine bathed in such a quagmire of self recrimination and self worth that this book became painful.

Not one for me

The first half of the book was in the usual style for Tessa Dare, and if it had stopped there, I would have rated it around 4.
However, the book went on for too long and suddenly something changed in its style. I found it disturbing. I cannot tell you why, but it did not sit comfortably with me. I had to finish it to see how it ended, but will not read it again. I like a simple light story with a nice happy ending and this one felt all wrong!. I think its a personal thing as others appear to have liked it.
