Is it my imagination or does this series keep getting better? I love this series. I have consumed every book with excitement at their release.
A Love To Remember was such a good book. I don't even know where to start. I sat up all night and read it in one sitting. I feel like I cried through half of it. And I felt embarrassed for the characters at parts because I grew so attached to them.
Oh, Philip, why do heroes sometimes have to be such fools. You just want to give him a good smack to make him see straight. And Rose, our heroine.......
They both had strength of character, loyalty and love. Philip just needed a boot in the rear. But don't they all sometimes?
If you don't treat yourself to A Love To Remember you're seriously missing out.
Now I'm anxiously awaiting another something new from Ms Evans.

I've read a number of this author's books and enjoyed them. This continues a series, but stands alone well, since I don't remember all the particulars of the prior books. This is the story of Rose and Phillip, she is a wealthy widow, he was a second son who enlisted in the military, drawing his older brother into the battle with napoleon, consequently making him the new Earl. He suffers severe survivors remorse and plans never to marry. Rose had also planned to never marry, but after a few years of a lovers affair, realizes she loves and wishes to marry him, while he remains steadfast in his refusal. They part, both in pain, and both regret the loss. Much more ensues prior to a HEA, but it does come. Recommend.

5 Stars! Wow!! I LOVE this book!! I read the whole thing in one sitting!! This is my first time reading a book from this series & now I'm going to have to buy & read the rest!! I really love how Rose isn't the normal 1800's innocent virgin or non-sexual widow!! It's a refreshing change from the usual main female character!! This was a really good book! It's got mystery, suspense, romance, it's got pretty much everything!! It's a well developed story & I felt so bad for Philip & the guilt he felt over his brothers death! I HIGHLY recommend this book! I loved it so much that I'm going to read the other books in the series! If I could give it more than 5 Stars, I would!!

I always enjoy this author's books! I enjoyed seeing characters again, and the main couple was just plain cute. I was a little annoyed at times because the hero was just being stubborn. I was also a little surprised by who the bad guys were...I think just a wee pit more foreshadowing would have been nice.

I'm very much looking forward to Bronwen's next book!

Bronwen is one of my favorites. I am always excited for the next book. This book didn't let me down. Great from beginning to end. Loved it!

A Love To Remember by Bronwen Evans is an awesome read. Ms Evans has gifted historical romance fans with yet another amazing story. This is a well-written book and a nice smooth read. The characters are phenomenal and perfect for Philip and Rose's tale. There's plenty of action, drama, sizzle and suspense that kept this reader up way past her bedtime. I totally LOVED reading this book and look forward to reading many more from the talented Bronwen Evans in the future. A Love To Remember is book 7 of The Disgraced Lords Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.

Rose Deverill, one husband was enough& she has no need to remarry being the wealthy widow of the Duke of Roxborough. Thanks to a string of steamy affairs, Rose is perfectly content to be known by polite society as the “Wicked Widow” until she’s reunited with the man she fell in love with at age fifteen Philip Flagstaff. They meet at the graveside of his elder brother Robert who was killed saving Philip whilst fighting at Waterloo. They become lovers later that same day & two years later their bedroom encounters are still scorching, but it breaks Rose’s heart to wonder whether her reckless behaviour ruined her for Philip Flagstaff.
The second son of the Earl of Cumberland, Philip never wanted the title. Philip is determined never to pass on the inheritance to children of his own. Then Rose appears, soothing the pain with her delightful curves and passionate kisses. The notorious Duchess seems to want nothing from him and yet Philip has never ached to give a woman more.
Another compelling page turning five star novel that took me through a whole gamut of emotions from exasperation to crying. The prologue started the roller coaster of emotions & had me filling up. I found it very hard to put down & read it in a day Once again a stunning romance; the pace is kept up throughout the book & builds to the kidnapping & rescue. Definitely a keeper along with the rest of the series & one to read again & again. The attraction between Philip & Rose is electric but their relationship is so much deeper, they are best friends too. Rose suffered with her first husband & it took a strong woman to defy society & be her own person. Philip is almost floured by the guilt & grief of Robert’s death, it takes time & patience for him to realise he can move on.

Bronwen did it again. The book is fantastic. Troubled lovers,suspense and villains in disguise. It even had the libertine scholars coming to the rescue to help Philip and Rose.

Whenever I pick up a Bronwen Evans historical romance I'm guaranteed three things:

1. dashing heros who are equal parts rogue and gentleman
2. Beautiful ladies who are fierce in their beliefs and passion
3. A romance, sometimes hard won but always sure to please

On all three points, A Love to Remember hits its mark and we as the readers reap the spoils. The Disgraced Lords Series also offers a fair amount of suspense and intrigue to sweeten the pot, just in case you were wondering.

I recommend it!

I received an ARC of this book, from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Pigheaded stubbornness is taken to almost ridiculous extremes in this pair of lovers who have a lot of sex, but refuse to marry because the widow wants her freedom, and the lord is paralyzed by guilt over the Waterloo death of his brother....until they don't and aren't, but not at the same time.

I felt so bad for Rose. To love Philip so deeply and to not be loved the same in return. Oh sure he loved her, but not enough to marry. But then the next problem was that they shared a lot of friends and his sister was Rose's best friend. So she would have to run into him constantly or pretty much start her life over again. There were times that I just wanted to shake some sense into Philip. That's how much I invested myself into this book.

For Rose Deverill, living through one marriage was enough. She doesn’t mind her little affairs because she knows that she will never go to the altar again. As the widow of the Duke of Roxburough, she has the means to live her life by her own rules. But, when she encounters her first love, Philip, all her old rules go out the window. She wants him body and soul. Philip has been haunted by his brother’s death in the Battle of Waterloo. He should’ve died, not inherit a title he never deserved. Now, he has to make amends, and he doesn’t deserve the love of Rose, or any woman. Can Rose change Philip’s mind? Or is their love doomed?
This was another great romantic mystery done to create sleepless nights in every reader. The characters were sweet, engaging and sometimes, diabolical. The plot started like a sweet romance then turned into a mystery which kept me up wondering whodunit. I loved the way the characters had each other’s back and were able to lend a hand when needed. But, the best thing about this story is learning that misplaced guilt can cripple a life, and we should never give up our hearts in order to appease it. An Advanced Reading Copy was received in exchange for an honest review.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I had been waiting a long time for Phillips and Roses story. I just was disappointed in Phillip he kind of was a huge jerk. He got better so that was nice but I did enjoy the read.

another winning historical romance by Ms. Evans. Totally enjoyed it!

I just loved this Novel. I am really into regency, so this did not disappoint me. There is passion, lust, regret, guilt, hot erotic scenes, romance, love and drama. This book has it all. There chemistry between Rose and Phillip is flowing out of each page. It is so well described that you almost can feel it.
The book is written in that way that you almost think you are there with the characters. When Phillip has to go on without Rose you can feel his fight within himself or when Rose has to let Phillip go you cry with her. My emotions where sometimes allover the place. I cried a some places and cheered for Rose in others.
I love that they have been given such character trait that you feel they are alive.
The book has got supporting characters that it really would miss and be a different book, if they were not there.
The book has it all. So it is really worth reading if you are into regency and romance.

This is probably one of my favorite of Ms. Evans' books.Absolutely beautiful!

It was so refreshing to read quite a different take on a historical romance. The seventh story in Disgraced Lords series could have easily become just tale; however, with the story beginning with Rose Deverill, the Duchess of Rosborough and Philip Flagstaff, the Earl of Cumberland as lovers, I knew this was going to be different. From the start, I was intrigued that this work but the obvious admiration that the two have for each other made me realise that Philip would just need some convincing to change his mindset. Philip is still grief stricken by his older brother’s death and believes that he should not benefit from being the new Earl in any form. This means that he refuses to wed or to have children, despite his obvious affection for Rose. Since the death of her husband, Rose has refused to marry but realises that she would like a family with Philip.
I was delighted to see familiar characters from past stories appear again in this novel and their presence only added to the romance and intrigue. I loved the two main characters! However, I still found myself berating Philip for his treatment of Rose and cheering on Rose for her strength and courage.

Okay I love Bronwens stories so much, but this one was a little harder to get lost in. Perhaps it was the nature of their relationship from the get go? I'm not totally sure. However the further in I got, the more I did enjoy it. Overall a good read.

This story had drama, romanace, evil villians, and a little bit of mystery. The characters were enjoyable and welcoming. I like heros who must overcome a struggle to become better for it. Worth reading this authors work!

Oh, I loved this book. It’s full of passion, lust and of course two troubled leads. Both don’t want to get married – Rose doesn’t want to remarry and Philip doesn’t want to produce a heir. Both have a backpack from their past they carry around.

Rose was kind of sold to an elderly Duke (Roxborough) before she had a season. A passionless, loveless marriage – thankfully she gave birth to a son within a short period. Plus, thankfully the Duke died quickly after it, so she was an independent widow.

Philip on the other hand was the second son of the Earl of Cumberland, who gambled a lot and lost a lot to risky investments. So one day he decided to join the army against Napoleon but he didn’t buy a commission. His older brother, Robert, followed him and when the enemy was about to kill Philip he went in between them and died – of course Philip blames him for Roberts death, even 6 years later.

Because Rose is Philip’s sister’s best friend they always spent a lot of time together. One day they start an affair. Both know that they don’t want to marry. Two years later they still have an affair and Rose knows that she loves him. The ton knows of their affair, everybody knows of it and each and everybody is waiting for him to offer for her.

Rose knows that her son’s guardian wants to her marry again. And she’d marry Philip if he’d ask her but he never overcame Robert’s death. He tells Rose that he doesn’t need an heir because he has three younger brothers who would inherit the title.

If course there is much more to the storyline. There is a lot of sex, lots of passion and lots of angst – especially in the last third of the book. There is a small “thing” in the end which was kind of predictable for me (and I loved it).

Bronwen Evans again created the perfect little escape for me – I read the book within a day, loved both leads and already knew the background story of some of the other characters because I read several other books of this series (not all so far though).

She has this kind of style that you cannot put the book away and I like it. It’s intriguing. Reading this book is like watching a movie, you can “see” it scene by scene.

I think it’s my 2nd favorite book this year so far!
