Shattered Rainbows

Fallen Angels, Book 5

By: Mary Jo Putney

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

A RITA Award finalist.

Broken dreams and second chances.

Honed by danger and haunted by the past, Lord Michael Kenyon finds it easy to risk his life for his country’s sake. But in the shadow of Waterloo, he faces a far more dangerous threat - the loss of his heart to the beautiful battlefield nurse who saves his life yet can never be his.

Called a saint for her virtue and selfless courage, only Catherine Melbourne knows the tragic flaw at the core of her spirit. In Michael Kenyon, she sees the strength and kindness she craves, yet for honor’s sake, she must conceal her love and send him away. Even when freed from her empty marriage, she conceals the truth because of the bleak knowledge she can never again be any man’s wife.

Then fate offers Catherine a fortune, a title, a heritage for her daughter - if Michael will impersonate her husband on a visit to a wild Cornish island. Reluctantly, he agrees to the masquerade. But what begins as a simple journey leads them into a shattering vortex of danger and betrayal - and a fiercely passionate love that can no longer be denied.

Critic reviews

“An extraordinary reading experience. Darkly erotic and sizzling with sensuality, this love story dazzles the senses and steals your heart away. Romance just doesn’t get any better than this.” (Romantic Times)

This was one of my favorite books when

I read it decades ago. And having just finished listening, I think Shattered Rainbows is still one of the best. The narrator was excellent.

Another fallen Angel.

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." I was delighted to read Michael's story in the 'Fallen Angels' series,. This has been an exciting series and I look forward to the next book. Mary Jo Putney is a terrific writer and Sioban Waring did a fantastic job narrating,.

I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER FAVORITE AUTHOR...

I loved this book. It is well written with many twists and turns. I can usually figure out what will happen next in many stories, but this one kept me surprised. With wonderful character development, just the right amount of steam and sizzle and a great narrator, I can't wait for more books to be out in this series.

I do hope the author stays with one narrator as it gets confusing when the voices and tone keep changing. This narrator was very good.

there's so much depth and real love

I keep coming back to this story. it helps to remove the disillusionment that real love, without reservation or holding back, does exist. I love the way Michael wraps his love around her, shows that his love is genuine. Equally as compelling in the story is the vulnerability of a real man who's not afraid to show up and give his heart.

Beautiful Narration!

if you can get past the long first part of the book, you will really fall in love with these characters. I wasn't able to predict this story, which is refreshing for a historical romance. Mary Jo Putney is just wonderful.
