Jilted by his bride-to-be, wealthy Spanish landowner Don Vidal Salazar fears he’s lost his passion for life. That is, until his English secretary, Rosalind Carlisle, intervenes.

Unable to resist her sympathy, Vidal makes a scandalous request of his friend—a night of resplendent passion. A request she shockingly grants.

A year later, neither can forget the tender liaison. Vidal, his heart finally free, is ready to take another chance at love, and he offers Rosalind her heart’s desire.

But Vidal doesn’t realize that Rosalind came to Spain fleeing a scandalous past and a cruel fate that may tear the lovers apart forever.

Simone Beaudelaire

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In the world of the written word, Simone Beaudelaire strives for technical excellence while advancing a worldview in which the sacred and the sensual blend into stories of people whose relationships are founded in faith, but are no less passionate for it. Unapologetically explicit, yet undeniably classy, Beaudelaire’s 20+ novels aim to make readers think, cry, pray… and get a little hot and bothered.

In real life, the author’s alter-ego teaches composition at a community college in a small western Kansas town, where she lives with her four children, three cats, and husband – fellow author Edwin Stark.

As both romance writer and academic, Beaudelaire devotes herself to promoting the rhetorical value of the romance in hopes of overcoming the stigma associated with literature’s biggest female-centered genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart warming story
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013

I just finished this book. It is not the first I have read from Simone, and so far I have liked all of them.

Rosalind is such an interesting character. With a love that borders devotion, she wins the heart of her man. Vidal takes his time to unlock his emotions, but when he does, he is perfect for her.

The book takes place in a vineyard in Spain and a couple of other places nearby. As with all the other books I have seen so far from this author, the steamy scenes are plenty, and sweet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vidal & Rosalind
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

This was a cute story. I felt that it seemed like the characters attitudes were more modern than the historical time they were set in. I felt for them in all their difficulties and enjoyed their passion and compassion. I think it could have been set in a more modern era with almost the same effect.

I will read more books by this author.

The book used some techiques I'm not a fan of but otherwise didn't really have anything wrong with it, but it didn't work well for me either although I can't tell you why. Perhaps I was just the wrong reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars a simple and sweet love story
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013
A beautiful written romance set in 1800s Spain. This story is filled with emotion and sweetness. If there are been some tension written into this tale it would have been a five star all the way. A little too sweet for top ranks but this author is very talented. This was an earlier work and she gets much better. Read this book first if you can and move on to the rest of her stories. the romance reader will love this.

This book reads like something a junior high school girl would write to entertain herself and her friends. Characters are stock, plot is predictable, sex scenes so repetitious one was enough. Truly horrible book

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this with your favorite chocolate!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2020
Savor the pages!! When it comes to the romance genre there aren't many authors who can make me blush and keep reading - but this author can! I am usually a very harsh critic when it comes to the romance genre. I am a reader driven by scenes and characters that seem realistic. Usually, romances - for me - are filled with cliches and unbelievable situations. However, this book was completely believable and hot! I was completely thrown for a loop in the first scene when the main character turned out not to be the first female introduced, and the initial jilting of Vidal was a complete surprise. Rosalind is a completely relate able character, with depth and history. It is a story that I will be keeping in my personal kindle collection forever. Thanks, Ms. Beaudelaire for making a romance story that I can finally enjoy with my favorite chocolate!

This was an interesting book, it had a good enough storyline and you do kind of appreciate the characters for who they are and who they get to be.
Worth a read, I might purchase another book from this “series”

3.0 out of 5 stars Steamy romance
Reviewed in India on March 2, 2020

I know I am in the minority yet I wanted to share my honest review. This is the first time I have read author's work and I hope all her books are not the same. Reading the blurb and seeing 5 * reviews, my expectations were high. The one thing that was common in the story is if you feel bad, you have sex, feel good have sex. If that isn't enough, get heroines father and seamstress to o have few more sex scenes. I have no issues with steamy romance as long as the story remains in foreground and sex scenes are added as required.
Story happens in Spain. Vidal's betrothed rejects him when her ex comes back. Rosalind is Vidal's secretary and maid. She comforts him and they have sex. A year passes by , she doesn't want to be his mistress so she continues loving him afar. When Vidal believes that he is over his heartbreak, her past comes, it's quickly dealt with and we proceed to sex scenes. They become engaged to be married only for Vidal's ex to return, there is angst written for 1-2 para and all is well. Meanwhile Vidal gets her father to Spain for blessing. He falls for their seamstress and again back to steamy scenes. Rosalind discovers that she is pregnant however she has complicated pregnancy. Overall story is good and too much potential however the focus went on steamy scenes more so yes I was bit disappointed
