Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USAToday bestselling author, Mary Jo Putney was born in Upstate New York with a reading addiction, a condition for which there is no known cure. Her entire romance writing career is an accidental byproduct of buying a computer for other purposes.

Her novels are known for psychological depth and intensity and include historical and contemporary romance, fantasy, and young adult fantasy. Winner of numerous writing awards, including two RITAs and two Romantic Times Career Achievement awards, she has five times had books listed among the Library Journal's top five romances of the year, and three times had books among the top ten romances of Booklist, the magazine of the American Library Association.

Her favorite reading is great stories, but in a pinch she'll settle for the backs of cereal boxes. She's delighted that e-publishing can now make available books that have been out of print.

I read the synopsis and fell in love! I mean how could I not when it has my favourite amnesia trope and a woman desperate to escape a horrible suitor. Scandalous. Bought it and read it in a single day, I even got my friend to read it on her vacation!! Will definitely be looking into the series, this book was amazing.

Adam and Mariah are interesting, relatable, captivating, intriguing characters. They captured my attention from the start and held it until the very end. These two together are special and I enjoyed their romance. The subplots of friendship, family and intrigue all were done very well and added so much texture to the story and the characters. I enjoyed many of the secondary characters and what they added to the story. I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping Stand Alone book and the start of a wonderful Series
Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2020
Mary Jo Putney never fails to deliver a gripping story with intrigue, twists and turns, and a wonderful, full love story that captures your heart and makes her books true Page-Turners! I have lost count of the many hours I have happily disappeared into her books. She is a masterful story-teller with the singular ability to make all her characters so real you could reach out and touch them! If time travel were a thing, you'd want nothing more than to go back in time just so you could meet all her 'people'!

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching and centered on the emotional conflict
Reviewed in Canada on September 3, 2010
I like Mary Jo Putney's books because the characters tend to be introspective and she gives us insight into their minds.

In this instance, the romance is quiet, it takes its time to evolve and I rather like this slower pace. The hero is moody, that's right, but I think that felt realistic considering he doesn't remember a thing. Also it is interesting that he has a sense about his cultural backrgound that just eludes him, and the way the author chooses to have him and the heroine probe into it was judicious.

I think the author made the heroine's dilemma clear, she gets carried away on the deceit and can't tell the truth for fear of losing him. Sure that's not the reinvention of the wheel, but the author writes it in quite an emotional and touching way.

It is not an earthy book with feats of erotica (that are becoming increasingly popular) but because the heroes are more mature and also because Adam is a rather cerebral man, then he approaches things from a different angle. For me this was a refreshing pause from all of those cookie cutter, alpha malish, rakes who are these sex machines in bed but who vow never to love. But that's Mary Jo Putney for you, she's one of the best characterisation writers in the romance genre. For me it makes this book an original.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Good!!!

This is my favorite Mary Jo Putney book. I truly enjoyed it.

Mariah thought she had lost her father and was fighting a bully who was trying to take advantage of her. He had lost his estate to her father and felt he could take it back through marriage to Mariah. She told him she was married already.

Washed overboard during a ship explosion and barely clinging to life the Duke of Ashton washed up on Mariah's shore. He had no memories of who he was past or present. So, when Mariah, a beautiful angel, told him he was her husband, he believed her.

Learning that their friend was dead, but his body hadn't been recovered. Anxious to find out what happened,his friends went on a quest to uncover the truth.

As Adam and Mariah grow closer, it seems they may have a life together. His friends determine that he was targeted for murder.

There is non-stop action, romance, and mystery involving friends, families and London society. The book is well written and the characters are well developed.

I look forward to the rest of the series. I definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this story. It has lots of unexpected events. Mariah rescues Adam after he was shipwrecked but he has lost his memory. The story follows their relationship as Adam slowly recovers his memory. It takes a long time for him to recall events. There are family reunions and several attempted murders but throughout it all love remains strong.

Torn away from his mother in India, Adam the duke of Ashton spends much of his childhood in a boarding school run by a kindly older woman. There he meets several friends that he keeps for life. So when he Is reported dad, his friends band together to find his body and return him home for a proper burial. But as you might expect, Adam is not dead but he has lost his memory.

After finding a man floating in the sea near her new home, Mariah steadily nurses him back to health. But to deal with an unwanted and persistent suitor she informs both Adam and the suitor that Adam is her long lost husband. Thus begins a comedy of errors and love that wouldn’t be inappropriate in a Shakespeare play.

—

I admit that I came to the series a little bass Ackwards. Disappointed that there wasn’t going to be a sequel to the stone Saints series that I absolutely adored, I discovered that this book had its inspiration from some of the characters from that series. So I absolutely wanted to give this a try.

This story, I will fully admit, does require some serious suspension of disbelief. The fact that Adam has near total amnesia is very much a Hollywood trope. Then there’s some other tropes that show up that are just pure Shakespearean comedy. I don’t wanna give it away but I will say that one of the reveals was telegraphed nicely.

That said I really did like Adam and Mariah’s relationship. I could get behind there romance. I bought it. It was fun. I liked the friends And I look forward to continuing the series. And for that I give this…
