Remember When

A Ravenswood Novel, Book 4

By: Mary Balogh

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

Discover the beauty of second chances at love and life in this heartfelt new novel from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

The Dowager Countess of Stratton, Clarissa Ware, née Greenfield, has just presented her younger daughter to the ton, and the rest of her life belongs only to herself. She returns to Ravenswood, intending to spend the summer alone there.

But the summer has other plans for her.

Born a gentleman, Matthew Taylor has chosen to spend his life as the village carpenter. Growing up, he and Clarissa were close—dangerously so, considering his family’s modest fortune. As a young man, he never would have been a suitable match for the daughter of the wealthy Greenfields. Clarissa married Caleb Ware, the Earl of Stratton, so Matthew married another, though he was widowed soon after.

Now everything is different—Clarissa has already lived the life expected of her by society. And Matthew is as attractive and intriguing as he was when they were young. As their summer friendship deepens into romance, they stand together on the precipice of change—essentially the same man and woman they remember being back then, but with renewed passion and the potential to take their lives in an entirely new direction.

Great narrator

This kept you listening right to the end. A gentle very nice story about love at a later age.

Sweet Second Chance

Though a little slow, this sweet story is a wonderful continuation of the family saga. I’m sure it can be read as a stand alone, but it’s probably best if read/listened to after at least the first book. RL is as usual a brilliant narrator. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great book and series
