Summary

New start, new love. That's what Honor Sontag needs after her life falls apart, leaving her reputation in tatters- so she flees her native America and heads for Brighton, England. Honor's hoping for a much-deserved break and the chance to find the mother who abandoned her as a baby. What she gets is an entanglement with a mysterious man. Martyn Mayfair has sworn off women with strings attached, but is irresistibly drawn to Honor, the American who keeps popping up in his life. All he wants is an uncomplicated relationship built on honesty, but Honor's past threatens to undermine everything.

Great story, but...

I loved the story, but found the sex scenes a bit irrelevant at times; as if the author or the editor feel they make the story more attractive; quod non.
The narrator's American accent is irritating in some characters and some narrative. Her 'proper' English didn't sound very natural and disfigured some characters.
All this said, the story is still very enjoyable, worth listening to.

Funny, enjoyable and undemanding romance

What did you like best about this story?

I love the way Sue Moorcroft draws quite elaborate plots, and also draws you easily into whatever world she's writing about.

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Woodward’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Jennifer Woodward is a great expressive actor. Perfect for this, as the main character is American. Her way of making her English characters all sound like debutantes who occasionally slip into the Thames Estuary is quite comical - but doesn't really detract from a great performance.

Any additional comments?

Sue Moorcroft's books are well crafted and full of surprises. Here, I was rather irritated at one of her plot devices. (I'm not going to spoil the plot). This book was told from the perspective of Honor, the protagonist. We shared her history, her doubts, anxieties and hopes. Also her illusions and misunderstandings. We were on her side. As we're deep into the book Honor suddenly drops a bombshell. She's been keeping a big secret. Not just from the other characters but from us, the readers. I felt let down and started to mistrust the story and the writer. I later recovered, but wish the writer could have worked out the story in a different way.
