Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey returns to the dazzlingly passionate world of the Malorys, an aristocratic family of rakehell adventurers and spirited ladies, in a thrilling new tale of unbridled desires.

James Malory sets sail for America to honor a promise he made to his in-laws: His daughter, Jacqueline, will have her come-out in America. Judith and Jacqueline Malory are not simply cousins; they are inseparable best friends. Refusing to miss Jacqueline's come-out in Connecticut, Judith convinces her parents to let her delay her London debut by a few weeks so she can accompany her cousin. Neither girl intends to fall in love during her first season, but Judith's plans are overturned when aboard ship she comes face-to-face with the ghost who has been haunting her dreams.

Unknown to the Malorys, deckhand Nathan Tremayne is a smuggler with a noose around his neck. Determined to carry out a covert mission in America that could gain him a pardon, Nathan senses that beautiful Judith Malory is trouble. Somehow the minx knows his secret - and now she's blackmailing him into doing her bidding. While passions can soar on the high seas, Nathan knows this aristocratic beauty is merely amusing herself with a scoundrel like him.

When the unthinkable happens in Connecticut, and the elder Malorys' hands are tied, Nathan takes command of a dire situation. Captaining his own ship, he turns the tables on Judith as he steers them into some intense Caribbean heat, where he will fight with all his mettle to win the right to her heart.

Great book!

I've just began reading the Johanna Lindsey books, and I've loved all the ones I've read and listened too! I'm so glad it's been the same narrator every time and the characters were spot on! I was hung on every word and it was a great story. It was full of love, family, and romance!!

loved it!

great story, I've listened to it multiple times. really hope that Jaco wool get hey sorry now.

Ahhhhh Lindsay.....

I was 11 years old when I found my love and passion of Historical Romances. I am dyslexic and had the hardest time learning how to read but once I found Jude Deveraux and Johanna Lindsay, my world flipped upside down in all the right ways. I don't feel as if the narrator is the right fit for this story at all, the characters are young, the voice of the narrator is not. That being said I read this years many years ago when it first came out and was already in love with the story, so I was able to over look the voice as I got lost in one of my favorite time periods, listening to the words of one of my favorite authors. Thank you for posting this book and keeping it alive!!!

Too Notch

I wish Johanna lived a much longer life so that she could bestow upon us many more exciting and heartfelt novels. Loved it, as much as the rest.

Perfect

This book was amazing and so was the reader. It just comes to life :) a must have

Loved it!

Really like the story. Hope more Malory novels to come. Wished Rosslyn would have been more prominent.

Great listen!

I love the Malory-Anderson series! Laural merlington is fabulous! I enjoy listening to her narration

Really good

This was another good one, in this series I can’t wait to read the next one

As always I Love Lindsey's Mallory-Anderson series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I like that Ms Lindsey is continuing the Mallory/Anderson saga with the Anthony's daughter, I hope Ms Lindsey is working on Jack's story.

What other book might you compare Stormy Persuasion to and why?

If I'm recalling correctly it's like James's Story (A Gentle Feuding). With a sea voyage, an unknown enemy and a kidnapping

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

Yes, she has a smooth flow and I enjoy her style. Ms Merlington is one of my favorite narrators

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This is a hard one, but what I enjoyed is the fact that held his own against the Mallory's.In and out of the ring. But mostly I liked Jack and Judy grown up.

Any additional comments?

Please Ms Lindsey I would like to know what happened to the 'bastard' and Andrew? Who will Jacqueline drag kicking and screaming to the alter?

Always good 👍

Ms Lindsey has provided a great reading experience as in many years previous. I have read all the Malory series and thoroughly entrenched all.
