Sinopse:

For Rose Deverill, one husband was enough. As the wealthy widow of the Duke of Roxborough, she has cultivated an unsavory reputation meant to discourage wife hunters. Thanks to a string of steamy affairs, Rose is perfectly content to be known by polite society as the “Wicked Widow”—until she’s reunited with the man she fell in love with at age fifteen. Their bedroom encounters are scorching, but it breaks Rose’s heart to wonder whether her reckless behavior ruined her for Philip Flagstaff.
The second son of the Earl of Cumberland, Philip never wanted the title. But after Philip’s older brother, Robert, follows him into the Battle of Waterloo, his worst fears come to pass. Now Robert lies in a soldier’s grave, and Philip is determined never to pass on the inheritance to children of his own. Then Rose appears, soothing the pain with her delightful curves and passionate kisses. The notorious Duchess seems to want nothing from him—and yet Philip has never ached to give a woman more.

Opinião:
A Love to Remember tinha os ingredientes perfeitos: um herói assombrado pelo passado, uma heróina que o ajudaria e fá-lo ver que ele tem hipóteses de ser feliz. É pena que foi no fim foi tudo rapidamente embrulhado com um laço e pronto.

Rose é sempre descrita como uma mulher independente e que não quer casar mas nós leitores só conhecemos como esta mulher que está pronta a casar novamente e que, na minha opinião tem pouco de independente – o que me fez desgostar dela.

Philip é o típico herói torturado que lá fez mais sentido, e que no fim do livro lá percebe que devia ser feliz pelo irmão e viver uma boa vida em sua honra.

O meu problema é que este livro foi maioritariamente contrário ao que a sinopse indicava. E o mistério que tinha eu percebi logo e achei as personagens fracas e, sinceramente, é melhor parar por aqui ou as coisas só pioram.

Resumindo, fiquei desiludida.

Review:
A Love to Remember had the perfect ingredients: a hero haunted by the past and a heroine who would make him see that he deserves to be happy. Too bad that in the end everything was very quickly wrapped up with a nice bow.

Rose is always described as an independent woman who doesn’t want to get married, but we readers only get to know her when she wants to get married again and, in my opinion, she shows very little of her independence – which made her a character I didn’t particularly liked.

Philip is the typical tortured hero, which made sense, and in the end of the book he gets to the conclusion that he should be happy and honour his brother by having a nice life.

My problem with this book it that it was mainly contrary to the synopsis. And the little mystery it had I figured it out right away. The characters all felt weak to me and, honestly, I should stop now or it will only get worse.

In short, a disappointment.
