A Heart Devoted

The Penn-Leiths of Thistle Muir, Book 5

By: Nichole Van

Narrated by: Mhairi Morrison

Living happily ever after should be easy. After all, Tristan and Isolde Gilbert, the new Duke and Duchess of Kendall, have overcome obstacles, confessed their love, married, and are eager to sail off into the sunset of their glorious future. But, of course, life rarely offers smooth sailing. After their honeymoon tour, an unexpected return to London sends the new couple reeling.

Tristan struggles to balance his new Isolde-loving self with his former role as the autocratic Duke of Kendall. Upstart relatives and scurrilous accusations complicate his efforts to find a purpose and settle into his altered standing within the ton. Worse, the still-scandalous Isolde—who never expected to be at the center of Polite Society—now finds she has to navigate meetings with the Queen, dodge vile rumors, and fend off the jealous attacks of other aristocratic ladies.

For Tristan and Isolde, falling in love was simple. But merging two disparate former lives into one proves more fraught. Can the newlyweds find a way to remain both true to themselves and one another in their new life together?

So So good

This series has been wonderful out of all of them though. The story of Tristan and Isolda is my favorite.
I highly recommend listening to the first of the 2 so that when you get to this book, you'll fully understand. How they love began.
. on a self-reflective note to read about someone who isn't fully aware of what they're true. Feelings are and then coming into the understanding. And then the allowing of it makes an amazing read gives real visuals of how beautiful love can be once understood. This is a five star read highly recommended this whole series including this book

The perfect follow for the series!

I love this series, and the narrator does an especially good job bringing the story to life. I anxiously waited for this book to be released and was NOT disappointed.

I didn’t want it to end!

I felt connected to the characters and didn’t want the story to end! I also loved the narrator.
