Story
For exactly one season, Lady Charlotte Wentworth played the biddable female the ton expected - and all it got her was society's mockery and derision. Now she's determined to be in charge of her own future. So when an unwanted suitor tries to manipulate her into an engagement, she has a plan. He can't claim to be her fiancé if she's engaged to someone else. Even if it means asking for help from the last man she would ever marry.

Guardian Series- 2nd Story
Any additional comments?
The Guardian Series is written by Mary Jo Putney otherwise known as "M. J. Putney". A Kiss of Fate is actually the 2nd story in the series. It should follow: 1. "The Alchemical Marriage" in Irresistible Forces (2004). It should be followed by: 2. Stolen Magic (2005).

Mystical, and romantic quick read
This story is great as is, although I do feel that it could have been a masterpiece. I am not sure what it is missing, but something is.
I didn’t want it to end and I am getting the next book in the series now!
I am completely taken with books that are loosely based on historical pieces. And of course the dreamy Scottsmen help too!
Davina porters voice is matched by none! I fell in love with her ability during the Outlander series. I would listen to her read the dictionary!

A Rainy Weekend...a good listen...
This was a good read (listen) for a rainy weekend...not a riviting story, but comfortable..I particularly like Davina Porter (the reader), her accents and voices for the various characters really make them come alive...the story itself was interesting enough to keep me listening, but the story line was pretty formulary.

Kiss of Fate
Davina Porter is magnificent as always, but I kept getting confused & thinking I was listening to Outlander because both stories take place during the Jacobite uprising of 1745, lol. Except that Outlander is the better story & I was tired of reading about each skirmish in the rebellion. Perhaps I’m being too harsh but I also didn’t care for how easily the hero went from wanting to kill the heroine to forgiving her. Usually it’s the woman who forgives too easily! To go from unforgivable betrayal to hot sex & a complete meeting of the minds was too much for me.

Davina Porter is a 5+++ narrator among many 5* narrators.
She does voices so well and conveys distinct personalities. Also just
hearing her voice soothes and comforts me.
In addition I loved this story. It had well developed characters who experience love, conflict and uncertainty, leading to their hea.
