In short, before the action of this book begins: Together they form a slightly larger-than-life love story, aided by polished prose and insights. The first half of this was very slow for me. She also had a great talent in art that I think her husband used to line it empty coffers. I mean, come on, give the woman a chance to explain what happened and how she felt. Now a duke of enormous wealth, he should settle down to the business of marrying and producing heirs.

The Duke's Captive by Adele Ashworth - FictionDB
I liked the strong Viola and how she kept to her morals and the truth. Hte just hard not to see this story as a story about nonconsensual sex. Unlike another book, there is no rape or forced seduction maybe but more like lust- gotta jump your bones sex and was well played in order to move the story ahead.
Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days When will my order arrive? Since her acting and music reading talents were also suspect, she decided Broadway might not be for her.
Adele Ashworth never once strayed into either one of these areas. I think the waters are muddier there. European Historical Romance Review Tags: I mean, come on, give the woman a chance to explain what happened and how she felt. Normally, I'm not down with scenes of this nature, but given Ian's recollections and feelings of betrayal, violation, and horror at his past with Viola and her sisters, I was able to read it and not hate Ian although I was sad that he went through with it.

The Duke's Captive
It w The first half of this was very slow for me. Added by 1 of our members. The whole way this story places out is really flawless and very well executed.
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I love this book for many reasons, one of is Adele writing.
Widowed at twenty-three, Viola has become a self-sufficient young woman living in London and raising her son. He was held captive and drugged and she was the only one there to comfort him. There is something about this story that I find distasteful.
June 26, Publication Date: Vengeance would be his His sister Ivy is the one to give him proof of Viola's honest and true love she has for him. I am oddly in the middle - I didn't care enough about either of them to find anything intense, and also not enough to get mad about things. I liked it overall and would read another by this author. But Adele worked very hard at her favorite pastime and, by her senior year in college, she'd read just about every Kathleen E. Ian Wentworth was kidnapped and held hostage in a dungeon, chained to a wall by Viola's sisters.
She could have happily loved Ian and been with him if he didn't have such a stubborn streak. Mar 17, Mary Vilarino rated it did not like it.
Jul 12, Wild Rose rated it really liked it. She did everything she co This was the first book by Adele Ashworth that I have read and it wont be the last. Wow, This was a very intense book, and there is a lot of morally ambiguous behavior on the part of both hoer and heroine. Viola is a woman with too many secrets.
