The hero is with his mistress at the beginning of the book and he's decided that he's bored of her. He decides to tell her the affair is over after a big social engagement they're attending. His mistress can tell his affections are waning and tries to bait the hero into marriage which doesn't work.

Then it switches to the heroine and her family and all their relatives are listed as they get ready for a big social event. Then the heroine g I only got a few chapters into this book and set it down. Then the heroine goes all 'Woe is me! Her four uncles haven't liked any of her choices in men and she doesn't know what to do and I like rakish hero's but the one in here didn't feel charming to me. The heroine's personality didn't feel engaging and her oh-so-sad plight of being beautiful and unmarried turned me off.

I think this is probably more a case of not my cup of tea than anything, but whatever it is I couldn't finish it. View all 6 comments. I absolutely adore the Malory family.

Strangely enough I almost love them more than the plots. I actually danced around my apartment, that's how happy this book made me! We get to meet Regina aka Reggie who is an orphan with four overprotective uncles. She is strong, beautiful, clever and funny.

Love Only Once (Malory-Anderson Family, #1) by Johanna Lindsey

In the middle I was so angry but even though they could have resolved some issues if they talked it made sense why they didn't. I kind of regretted it but after reading it now I think it might actually be the perfect order because I already know James and Anthony and all the others. It definitely didn't hurt. I can't wait to read Tender Rebel to finally get Anthony's story. Jan 10, Kimberly Carrington-Fox rated it it was ok Shelves: View all 5 comments.

Oct 29, Katrina Passick Lumsden rated it really liked it Shelves: Sweet, melted Velveeta, I couldn't help but love this book. Even though it has the dreaded Big Misunderstandings over and over and over and over again, the writing is intelligent, the characters fleshed out and likable, the plot engaging, and the romance sort of jarringly sweet without being saccharine. Reggie was amazing, and as someone who grows weary of the female stereotypes in these books they're either indiscriminate whores or blushing ninnies I couldn't help but celebrate a virgin cha Sweet, melted Velveeta, I couldn't help but love this book.

Reggie was amazing, and as someone who grows weary of the female stereotypes in these books they're either indiscriminate whores or blushing ninnies I couldn't help but celebrate a virgin character who, for once, wasn't rendered speechless by a little flirting and innuendo.

Nicholas, as well, was dashing and handsome and sweet underneath it all, but be was also a right jackass. In other words, they both came across as believable rather than cardboard cutouts. My only complaint is that we weren't treated to much real feeling between Reggie and Nicholas. They were either fighting or giggling and cooing.

I understand that's in keeping with the farcical romance Lindsey was apparently shooting for, but there was a lot of emotional upheaval in this story. Too much, in my opinion, to be swept under the rug with laughter. A single heartfelt, serious overture of regret, apology, and acceptance would have gone a long way, and turned this into something more than just another overly formulaic historical romance.

Love Only Once

Anyway, I actually liked the first half of this book. Due to a wacky and highly improbable turn of events, the heroine, Regina Ashton, has found herself in a compromising position with the hero, Nicholas Eden, and due to the gossip, her uncles want to challenge him to a duel. But she has decided, based on this one encounter, that he is the love of her life, and convinces them to insist on marriage instead. Even though he keeps telling her, "Run while you can, I am not marriage material. Yes, it was silly, but it was fun. And then half way through And if you haven't read this book and think you might want to, please don't click on the spoiler tab, because I am purging myself of all the stupid things I just read.

Which is the entire second half of the novel. He knows Regina won't be able to accept this, but apparently she will like him better for leaving her stranded at his estate with his hateful "mother" while he hides in the West Indies? Meanwhile, Regina is already pregnant from the one time they fooled around in the gazebo at their engagement party, but she is too proud to admit to her new husband that she's carrying his child.

Because she doesn't want him to stick around due to paternal obligation or anything like that, only if it's undying love. Even though she knew he never wanted to get married in the first place. Then there is a bizarre escapade involving one of Regina's uncles, who used to be a pirate and was disowned from the family, and he decides to kidnap Nicholas wife in order to lure him back so he can avenge himself for being insulted on the high seas years prior to the story. But when he realizes his enemy's wife is also his beloved niece, and introduces her to his own illegitimate son, soon all is forgiven and there is a big happy family reunion and he goes to drag Nicholas home again.

Nicholas and Regina have missed each other and want to reconcile, but both are too stubborn to admit it, so they keep fighting. Nicholas comes up with a scheme to get back in the marital bed and plies Regina with so much wine that she isn't even sure if it really happened or if she dreamed it all.

Then when the maid is bringing in their son for his midnight feeding, rather than wake Regina back up and maybe have to listen to her yell about their drunken encounter, he holds the baby to her boob while she's sleeping and puts her nightgown back on, so in the morning, she's like, "Wow, that was a hot dream! He's not just forcing himself to do his 'duty. It was a really quick read and even a bit entertaining if only to wonder what ridiculous thing would happen next.

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

Rereading this was a pleasure! Review in a few! This one may take a minute. Cause I remember loving it but it was full of things I hated. View all 7 comments. I wanted to read a book in the Malory series so thought better begin at the beginning.

And got a selfish whiny boy masquerading as the hero. The effervescent h is no better — swearing no one messes with a Malory twice but lets the H walk all over her doormatty self - more than once. The h-H had an absolute non-connection as far as I could see. She tentatively thinks she loves him but I saw no conviction. The other times he got away with it but not this time as the h had family that could bring on the pressure. Their engagement period was good for one deflowering and those consequent efforts to get her to dump him.

The modus operandi - paying more attention to his? He marries her under duress and then very callously dumps her at the country estate quite literally at the door and turns the carriage around to live with his cold and mean mother who he himself avoids at all costs! And goes off cavorting to the Caribbean for 7 months. Is he celibate during the separation? The middling chapters are mercifully?

And they were another reason he looked like a boy. And not acknowledging his son? And taking off all the clothes was a scandal waiting to happen. Okay you want the cherry on the top? I dint need that so late in the book! And then those sulky sorrys she forces out of him! Despite the bad bits, at least in the last quarter, they at least did spend some time together and patched together a higgledy piggedy hea.

Four tough Malory men who love her dearly but could never agree on anything when it came to Reggie!

Uncle Anthony was my absolute favorite and I just loved the relationship that they both shared! Nicholas Eden is an arrogant, notorious rake and knows that he could get any woman he wants. When Nicholas Eden captures Reggie and locks her in his room he is so drawn to her and her tempting beauty.

His original plan was to play a trick on his devious ex-mistress but he mistakenly captured the wrong women. Uncle Anthony was furious that his niece was put in such a compromising position. Can you imagine his shock when he returns to find out he has a son? He only slept with Reggie once 4 months before they married so how could he have a son?

There were so many twist and turns in this book. Nicholas was so jaded when it came to marriage because of his own parentage. He was so worried that Reggie would hate him when the truth came out. That is what kept him away from her so long! The Malory family seems like a very interesting lot. I thoroughly enjoyed Regina and Nicholas' love story.
