But when they meet again and he refuses to come to her aid, she realizes she's sorely misjudged the man. Claire's path collides with that of Sutton Monroe, and she considers him a godsend for not turning her in to the authorities. When her fraud of a father deals her an unexpected hand, Claire is forced to flee from New Orleans to Nashville, only a year after the War Between the States has ended. To create something that will last is Claire Laurent's most fervent desire as an artist. Again, I still feel this is well worth the credit.Lasting Impression, A (A Belmont Mansion Novel Book #1) E-Kitap Açıklamasıīlockbuster New Historical Series From Acclaimed Author Tamera Alexander Yes people did not live long those days but I don't know a 48 year old nowadays who acts old. I also agree with her in Tamara's portrayal of those characters over 40 appearing ancient. I also agree with one reviewer whom stated some things mentioned in the book were not historically accurate like Sutton taking care of the heroine alone day and night (would not have happened that time period). The voices seemed so old even those belonging to little kids. I enjoyed the book overall and can honestly say that the narration ruined it for Tamera Alexander. I feel it makes the story somehow better since all the feelings and the rise of passion is evoked in the reader without adding in sexual scenes, and thus delivering a more satisfying story. After re-reading reviews from others, I feel certain that these people didn't actually read the book but skimmed through it.Īlthough I enjoy passion in my stories, if tastefully done, I also enjoy the ones where the draw between H/H is palpable and without any physical touching as it is here with this storyline. This seems to be a continuous theme throughout. More than an hour and a half to go and the author just portrayed a woman that can't be 50 with serious dementia.

Historical detail aside - Save your credit. I buy books that I can read or listen to again and again and I won't be listening to this one again. I still have 3 hours to go and I don't think I can stand it anymore. I found the book to be fussy and so slow, even though I was interested in the story and finding out how it ended. More than a big issue for me was the portrayal about the mental faculties of a 48-year-old man. Sutton spending many hours in the late day in Claire's bedroom keeping her awake after a head injury, for one.

I don't think audible made it clear that it was an inspirational romance first off (my mistake) and there were situations that seem highly unlikely in mid-19th-century among the wealthy and affluent. The book just seems wrong on so many levels. I just didn't enjoy listening to her read from the perspective of a 19-year-old young woman character and very little differentiation between any of the other characters.

Don't get me wrong - the voice actor has a very pleasant voice.
