General idiocy ensues. The heroine's name is Regina, but I got slammed with "Reggie" the entire book. Shoot me.

She really was sumthin' speshul, and her relationship with her uncles was such that, had the author been Lora Leigh, things would have turned into a Very Special Regency episode of Marly's Choice. OK, so Marly's "uncles" weren't really, but you get my point. Reggie was so "unconventional" that I'm sure butt plugs would have been welcomed with a grin and a shrug and a "Why not? She's a jaded adventuress and nothing can spook her. The Malory uncles? Other reviews say they're totes awsum, but I thought they sucked.
OMG, they would not shut up or stop shoving their charisma and horseplay and handsomeness and bickering and "unconventionality" down my throat. It didn't help that there were about a million characters in this book, they all just happened to be connected in some way, and I was apparently supposed to care.
I blame the patented Lindsey big font on some of these Avons. It makes me think I'm supposed to be visually or mentally impaired and I get cranky. Double Chocolate Chip, please. At first glance of the next few books, continuity might be a bit rocky. Or maybe JL just makes crap up as she thinks of it. I'm thinking that might be the case. Why do I keep reading her backlist? Oh, who am I kidding? I blame you, Bob and Elaine. Your artwork makes me want to read whatever crap is under that sparkly cover.

He was a complete rake with many ex-mistresses. He was also a pirate for some time. It was like reading anew character every few pages. There were also weird plot holes and the pacing was off. Feb 20, Jessica rated it it was amazing Shelves: arranged-marriage , historical-romance , rake. This book starts out with Nicholas being a rake and pondering how to deal with his latest mistress. He decides to kidnap her to get back at her for trying to make him jealous and ends up kidnapping Reggie instead!
And the romance goes from there. I really loved the 4. I really loved the marriage of convenience, but what I loved the most was Reggie's huge, overprotective family. She was raised by her uncles and they are all fiercely protective and want the best for her. She loves them and wants a husband just like them. They all pop in and out of this book and they are so fun. This book does read like a soap opera, but I loved it.
The only reason I gave this 4. Nicholas has his own secrets and he doesn't want to marry Reggie because he doesn't thinks he's accept him when she learns his secrets.
Reggie was definitely headstrong and I loved how she didn't let him walk all over her. She stood up to the men in her life and was determined to live life on her own terms. It was great! I can't wait to continue on in the series! Written July 19, 3 Stars - Charming "oldish" and undoubtedly entertaining sweet Love Only Once is a quite old both loved and disliked historical.
I couldn't resist when I saw it was just a few bucks for the kindle book including the hrs audiobook narrated by Laural Merlington. We'll see if it is a dreadful miss or a happy winner for me.
I'm not sure Ridiculously fun - I'm almost ashamed but I actually smiled and giggled in nearly eight hours.
This, despi Written July 19, 3 Stars - Charming "oldish" and undoubtedly entertaining sweet Love Only Once is a quite old both loved and disliked historical. This, despite all these silly twists, too cheesy emotional statements, a grumpy hopeless hero and so many amazingly incredible events.
Either way, Love Only Once is a heart-warming sweet, very predictable but nevertheless really amusing HR. Who can resist a brave young heroine like this one? Not to mention her family and lovely uncles. Summary: Two stars for an outdated but amusing oldish HR and an added extra shining star for a well done and very fitting narration by Laural Merlington.
Perhaps that was true, perhaps not. No one really knew Nicholas well enough to be sure. Imagine hunk-looking heroes, pirates, heartbreaking scenes, brave beautiful heroines, stolen kisses, man fighting, deceitful evil female rivals, sizzling hot secret encounters and thousands of unnecessary misunderstandings.

Nick is a dead loss from start to finish. And I kind of hated how often Reg just gives in to him because he's hot.
And his reasons! I don't care how view spoiler [forced your hand was in marrying, dumping your wife at the door of your home and then leaving the country is monstrous.
That's a hateful, childish move and guarantees that your marriage will be filled with strife and disdain hide spoiler ].
And Wow, was this a let-down. And he never apologizes or is held accountable for the inhuman treatment he dishes out time after time. He is such a childish little butt-pimple that I wanted Reg to smash his face in on her way to a HEA with someone else. I made it to the end on the strength of liking Regina. Except for her brain leaving her stranded in the face of his hotness, she was a lot of fun. She has strength and determination and she doesn't let petty people like Nick's piece-of-work "mother" get to her.
I liked that she didn't waffle or hesitate to take his home s in hand and that she just dealt with the bad place she found herself in. I lost a lot of respect for her giving in to Nick as often as she did, but the rest of her was outstanding. Also, there's a ton of backstory that comes out that sounds like this should be in the middle of a series instead of its start. Seriously, that Malory family is one messed-up pile of drama. Though an interesting one, I'll admit. I may continue this series just to get more of the family.
I'm giving this a second star on the strength of Reg and her family dynamics. I stuck through the suck for them and hope this is an outlier for stupidity in Lindsey's heroes. A note about Steamy : There are a couple of explicit sex scenes, putting this in the middle of my steam tolerance.
They are, frankly, stupid and I hated every single one of them because every one of them was Reg being a fool and Nick being one flavor of butt-pimple or other.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance I decided to re read this Malory Anderson series, as I am working on character sketch for this series and I had realized that I haven't reviewed much of the series and somehow Love Only Once fell through the cracks.
And boy did I have a wonderful time reconnecting with this fun family and this romance that just gave me laughs and fun times. Love Only Once is the first book of the series and it starts off with Regina's story. Now Regina This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance I decided to re read this Malory Anderson series, as I am working on character sketch for this series and I had realized that I haven't reviewed much of the series and somehow Love Only Once fell through the cracks.
Now Regina is the daughter of Melissa Malory, where she and her husband were killed in a fire when Regina was two years old. The rest of the Malory siblings raised her together but it was Anthony Malory she is the closest to.
Regina is a heroine you just fall in love with right away. She is so devoted to her family. Her uncles and all of her cousins. I love the way she handles her family, you could say she is cunning but only in trying to help those she cares the most about. At the beginning, she is unsatisfied with all the matches and has gone through multiple seasons already.
After visiting her Uncle Anthony, she is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped and taken to Nicholas Eden's home. When Nicholas realizes that its not his mistress at his home, but a strange woman he goes back home and chemistry sparks between them. But even though he returns her in secret. His ex mistress now, tells the worst gossips in the Ton about what happened and Regina's reputation is tattered and they are forced to marry. Now Nicholas has his own inner struggles and torments.
His father is gone, and his mother who is horrible practically blackmails him around the circumstances surrounding his birth and believes that Regina will lose any feelings she has for him if she finds out the truth so he tries to push her away.
But with the fun interference from Regina's family bring them back together and it gets pretty lively. You will fall in love with Nicholas and Regina and the whole Malory Family. View 2 comments.

The biggest insult, however, was after an entire book of this behavior, the hero comes in to ravish the heroine after a night of drinking, after which both are happy.

Feb 23, Brooke — brooklynnnnereads rated it it was amazing Shelves: historical-hellions , books-i-own , february This was the first Johanna Lindsey that I've read and now I'm wondering, what took me so long?! This novel is the first in a series and it has everything that I enjoy in a historical romance: chemistry between the two main characters, humour, and family.
As an aside, I will say that if you like the Bridgerton series either the novels or the television series by Julia Quinn, I highly recommend checking this novel out. Both of these series are similar in that they contain stories involving romanc This was the first Johanna Lindsey that I've read and now I'm wondering, what took me so long?! Both of these series are similar in that they contain stories involving romance, humour, and a close loyal family. Now, back to this novel.
Surprisingly, even though this book deals with one of my least favourite tropes, I absolutely loved the story. Never did I ever expect giving a novel with this trope five stars but in this novel, it was done so well.
Part of the reason I could look past the trope involvement is that I absolutely loved the characters from both of the main characters Regina and Nicholas to other characters such as Regina's uncles.
Oh my goodness how those uncles had me laughing! I can definitely see how this novel withstands the test of time. Yes, there may be some changes in the language that we use now or difference in etiquette but I could easily see this novel being written today. I cannot wait to read more of the Malory family and more written by Johanna Lindsey in general.
This book has two of the most stupid characters ever! They saw problems and failings in everyone, never once stopping to think things through or talk to each other.
And then suddenly - pling - out of the blue, everything was roses and sunshine. No, reality does not work like that. When you've spent a whole year hating someone you don't just forgive them after one rump in the sack. So I wasn't pleased with this book. Dec 12, Nicolette rated it liked it. Will you?

Nicholas Eden only wanted to teach his mistress a lesson before he leaves her and instead — he gets the wrong lady. The Malory family will accept nothing but marriage, even if the viscount Eden is an unwilling participant.
Regina seeks to reform the rake but Nicholas is someone who does not take kindly to being told what to do. This is my first Johanna Lindsey book as well. I have always wanted to read a book from her and I thought why not start at the beginning of this series? I think it is safe to say that I will continue reading more of her work.
Her parents died when she was only two years old. Although Tony and James are always at each others throats, they will go to war for each other and the family.
Don't have a Kindle. Free sleep tracks. A good night's sleep is essential for keeping our minds and bodies strong. Love Only Once This story is wonderful. I laughed, I cried, and could not stop listening to it until it was finished. It's about time Johanna Lindsay's books were narrated.
This narrator is excellent, she brings it to life with her wonderful voices. The first edition of the novel was published inand was written by Johanna Lindsey. The book was published in multiple languages including English, consists of pages and is available in Paperback format.
Directed by Allan Harmon. When Lucy Windsor's Amanda Schull childhood sweetheart plans to demolish her great aunt's Gilded Age estate and replace it with a golf course, she fights to preserve it.
This is also the first book in the Malory series. I cannot remember exactly which one it was. I just know that I didn't read the series in order.
