Temptation & Twilight

By: Charlotte Featherstone

Narrated by: Helen Stern

Iain Sinclair, Marquis of Alynwick, is certain there is a special hell for him. An unrepentant rake, he holds nothing sacred - except for beautiful Elizabeth York. For years, Alynwick has tried to forget the woman he loved so well, and treated so badly. A woman who could hold nothing in her heart for him but hatred.

All of society believes Elizabeth, the blind daughter of a duke, to be a proper young lady. But no one knows of her wanton affair with Alynwick. When Lizzy learns of her ancestor's ancient diary - filled with exotic tales - she longs to uncover the identity of the unnamed lover within and hesitantly agrees to allow Alynwick, who claims to have knowledge of the "veiled lady," to help her solve the mystery.

Eager to be Lizzy's eyes, Alynwick brings the seductive text to life, and each night it takes greater effort for her to remember his betrayal. With each whispered word, her resolve gives way, without her knowing that a centuries-old secret will lead them to a present-day danger.

Loved this series

Would you listen to Temptation & Twilight again? Why?

Yes I would listen again. I loved this entire series. It was a bit different but a great story line and I loved the characters.

Had to force myself to finish

Read from August 07 to 29, 2012

Audiobook read by Helen Stern. I had to FORCE myself to finish this book--and that's after devouring the first two books (and Book 2 ends on a great cliffhanger). Unfortunately, this book goes back in time and rehashes most of the events of Book 2--and introduces a new (boring) "mystery." Iain is an absolute jerk. When you wish the heroine would end up with the OTHER guy, it's never a good thing.

It's Alynwick!!! Not Alyck....ugh!!!

Given that this is the third book in a series in which the main characters played pivotal roles in prior books, the mispronunciation of the main character's name is extremely distracting! While I usually enjoy books narrated by Ms. Stern, this effectively ruined what would have been a very good ending (?) to this series.

The story has many twists and turns and for the most part flows fairly quickly. This author never disappoints and Alynwick is one of my favorite characters-probably because of all of his flaws. As long as the name change/mispronunciation doesn't bug you, it's worth the credit.

Prepare to lose sleep.. I could NOT put it down..

What did you like best about this story?

Awesome love story. Man desperately in love with women, can't live without her...everything a lady loves to hear.. Had a great plot as well.. A lot more going on than just the couple too which is always a plus..the other thing I really thought was cool was the perspective views the author gave to each book and character. She makes sure you don't miss a thought or emotion. Excellently done!

Have you listened to any of Helen Stern’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I thought narrator to be nice..she added a lot to the story and pulls you in with her voice.

Any additional comments?

This book and series all together really surprised me. I don't often listen to many stories more than once but I just finished it and I can't wait to go back and hear it again..

Worth the wait!

Where does Temptation & Twilight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very, very good. Loved this series. Wanted to wait for the audiobook and it was certainly worth it. He is clearly my favorite of the characters in the trilogy.
