At birth, Mick Trewlove, the illegitimate son of a duke, was handed over to a commoner. Despite his lowly upbringing, Mick has become a successful businessman, but all his wealth hasn’t satisfied his need for revenge against the man who still won’t acknowledge him. What else can Mick do but destroy the duke’s legitimate son - and woo the heir’s betrothed into his own unloving arms....

Orphaned and sheltered, Lady Aslyn Hastings longs for a bit of adventure. With her intended often preoccupied, Aslyn finds herself drawn to a darkly handsome entrepreneur who seems to understand her so well. Surely a lady of her station should avoid Mick Trewlove.

Great book, I enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed the book and happy I took a chance on it. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes spicy romance novels.

Great Audiobook

This is the first book in the Sins for all Seasons series and follows Mick and Aslyn and I am looking forward to continuing on with this series. The way this story was told hooked me from the start and kept me guessing the entire time. I thought I knew exactly how it was going to end but there was a surprise twist that I never saw coming, and it made for a great ending.

The story and characters were well thought out and developed, there was clear character growth by both Aslyn and Mick, and the focus given to the side characters was the perfect amount. I loved meeting the rest of Mick's family and can't wait to read each of their stories. And I loved watching Alsyn grow and stand up for her wants and needs throughout the story.

I look forward to the next and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the following:

✔️ Revenge Plot
✔️ Age Gap
✔️ Perceived Class Difference
✔️ Multiple POV
❕️ Check TW

A lovely story!

I empathized with the child who longed to be claimed as a legitimate child. It was truly a heart-wrenching era when there was such a stigma to being born out of wedlock. I adored all the characters in this story. I can't begin to offer the high praise this story is worthy of. Listen to it. I believe you will love it as I do.

Surprisingly good

Really fun characters and I didn't predict the ending. It was actually a really good book, which I guess I don't expect as much from these kinds of books.

Love love LOVE this book!!!!!

It’s my third time listening to the whole series. 😂😂 I just realized I never reviewed this book. Excellent historical romance book! From the plot to the character developments, it was amazing!! The combination of Lorraine Heath writing and Kate Reading narrating is match made in heaven. 😭

great book

was great storyline, the narration was excellent also! I look forward to the next book on the series and hope it's the same narrator

Excellent Narration Befitting a Wonderful Story

I loved the story, the characters and the ending. This provided a boost of morale and it is fantastic company for the household chores. The steamy scenes were properly steamy just not to my taste but no matter, I highly recommend.

A good read

I really enjoyed this novel. The characters are human and they actually build a relationship through the course of the book making the love story more believable. I definitely prefer the hero to heroine. She was pretty immature for me.

The narrator did not take away from the enjoyment of the story.

Great series start

Loved this story, surprised by the unusual plot. I enjoy the narrator, she gave a wonderful performance. Definitely worth the credit!

Wonderful Story

Wonderfully fulfilling story. This was my first time hearing this author and narrator. I am definitely following them both. It was worth every second and I’m looking forward to future books.
