Once More, My Darling Rogue Audiobook Summary

They are England’s most eligible bachelors, with the most scandalous reputations. But for the right woman, even an unrepentant rogue may mend his ways . . .

Born to the street but raised within the aristocracy, Drake Darling can’t escape his sordid beginnings. Not when Lady Ophelia Lyttleton snubs him at every turn, a constant reminder he’s not truly one of them. But after rescuing her from a mysterious drowning, he realizes she doesn’t remember who she is. With plans to bring her to heel, he insists she’s his housekeeper–never expecting to fall for the charming beauty.

While Ophelia might not recall her life before Drake, she has little doubt she belongs with him. The desire she feels for her dark, brooding employer can’t be denied, regardless of consequences. So when Ophelia’s memory returns, she is devastated by the depth of his betrayal. Now Drake must risk everything to prove she can trust this rogue with her heart once more.

TW for sexual assault, child abuse/child sexual assault, death of a parent, and suicide. THIS WAS SO GOOD! So basically this premise is a historical version of the 80s movie Overboard and I loved every second of it. Drake and Ophelia hate each other, so when Drake finds Ophelia almost dead in the Thames, he rescues her and tells her she's his maid. Ophelia has amnesia, so she believes him and stays with him, acting as his maid. I loved how Drake slowly fell in love with her and second guessed what he was doing and why. Then, there as a mystery behind why she was in the Thames and if she was in danger, so he couldn't let her just go back to her old life. What started out as a harmless prank turned much more complicated and I loved Drake's inner turmoil over it, especially as he grew to actually like Ophelia. It was fun how Ophelia had instincts that didn't match a servant, but she definitely grew as a person as she lived as a servant and getting to know other servants. And the tension between Drake and Ophelia was through the roof! The ending of this did take a very dark and serious turn. The characters went through a lot of growth and trusting each other, and I really enjoyed watching that development between them. Also, as the second book in the series, we did get to see some of the first book's couple in this book and I loved seeing them again! Overall, this was such a good book and I can definitely say that I am now a HUGE fan of amnesia historical romances!

3.7 starsLate to the party on this one again and with the wonderful reviews already out there, I'm just going to put up the quotes I liked from the book with a few thoughts. “We just don’t know each other very well I suppose.” And so begins the story of Drake Darling and Lady Ophelia Lyttleton, two individuals who circle and attack each other because something of the other calls out to them. Ironically, it takes lies and deceit (Drake lies to Ophelia while she has amnesia telling her she is a servant) to start the crumbling of the high thick walls their personal demons have erected. “You think what he did is a reflection on you?” Drake asked quietly. What drives Ophelia's ice queen persona also takes away her perceived self worth. In the beginning, Ophelia's snooty elitist attitude puts the reader’s sympathies strongly with Drake but as this isn't my first rodeo in romanceland I couldn't help thinking there was something behind her rude actions. There is and it will break all your hearts and along with Drake as we get to know Ophelia more, we begin to understand her more. Drake's handling of the situation and words are so raw and beautiful, he refuses to let Ophelia hide and in doing so helps to wash away the shame she has covered herself in. “If you’re going to grace me with a touch, I don’t want you wearing gloves.” “I’m not going to touch you, I’m not—” He peeled off her glove, tossed it aside, and returned her palm to his jaw. “Much better,” he said, raising his eyes to hers. The desire smoldering in his gaze arrowed straight through her, down to her toes, causing them to curl. And he was right. It was so much better to touch, skin to skin. The restrain, repressing, or what have you that had to be observed during this time period is probably why I enjoy reading it so much. The spark of when skin to skin of a simple touch of the hands occurs never fails to disappoint. He stroked his thumb over her lower lip. “You can say no at any time and I’ll stop.” He freed the button at her collar. “Anytime you become uncomfortable. Whether it be the releasing of a button, the untying of a ribbon, you need only say no or wait or stop. Your command is mine to obey.” Another button loosened. Another. Another. She didn’t. I loved the tension of this couple in the beginning, their weariness of each other. The middle part did get long as "Phee" was a housekeeper trying to housekeep and Drake self flagellated over his lying. If the middle had been edited down about 10% I think it would have kept the pace up in the story. At about the 80% mark I couldn't put the book down as things really started to heat up with the past being revealed and Ophelia regaining her memory. I was on the verge of tears for most of the ending because of the quality of writing and how Ms. Heath brought realism to her characters and their relationship. Not a question, but a command. It was his way. As it was hers. One didn’t ask when one thought the answer might be no, although why in the world he would think she wouldn’t marry him was beyond her. “How can you want me knowing all you know about me?” she asked. “How can I not?” They were no longer dancing, but standing in the midst of dancers with his large gloved hands, his wonderful large, scarred, powerful hands cradling her face as though it were made of the most delicate spun glass. “How can you love me knowing what you know of me?” he asked. Tears stung her eyes as she smiled. “How can I not?” At the start I couldn't wait for Ophelia to get her comeuppance, I anticipated a snarky sassy throw down with Ophelia being humbled at the end. Instead what emerged were two extremely guarded individuals who through a touch of fate and revenge were stripped of their outer shells, creating an ending that was emotionally heartbreaking as it was beautiful.

¡Maravilloso! ¡Me encantó! Definitivamente en este género mis gustos van contra la corriente porque, a pesar que es un libro con una valoración relativamente baja entre todos los de esta autora, para mí ha sido uno de los mejores que he leído de ella. Creo que también tengo debilidad por los dueños del Dodgers, ya que el libro de Jack Dodger fue el que más me gustó de la serie anterior.Me acuerdo perfectamente del Drake Darling de 8 años, que se metió por la chimenea a robar en la casa de los duques de Graystone en Enamorarse del diablo, para después, por circunstancias del destino, ser adoptado por esta familia. Su lealtad hacia ellos y la humildad y agradecimiento respecto de su suerte realmente me emocionó. Por otra parte está Lady Ofelia, que desde el principio de la novela se adivina que su actitud mezquina oculta algún secreto. Pero de verdad, nunca me imaginé lo terrible que era, realmente no lo vi venir hasta casi el momento en que se descubre.El avance de la relación es exquisito, sobre todo porque el perder la memoria le permite a Ofelia ser y actuar como habría sido de no tener que cargar con ese espantoso pasado. Para Drake es todo un descubrimiento esta nueva Ofelia que lo descoloca, lo seduce y pone su mundo al revés. Hay escenas para atesorar por la camaradería que generan como pareja, en particular cuando ella lo está esperando ansiosa por saber cómo le fue en la reunión donde se discutiría el destino del Dodgers (que fue otra parte que me arrancó lagrimones, al igual que cuando el duque de Graystone le regala un reloj a Drake).Bueno, no quiero destripar nada más, solo recomendarlo. Se puede leer de forma independiente, pero sin duda se disfruta mucho más habiendo leído la serie anterior: Scoundrels of St. James. Reto #11 PopSugar 2021: Un libro sobre el olvido

4.5 It's Good To Be Naughty StarsDrake Darling knows exactly how lucky he was when the Duke and Duchess of Greystone decided to raise him as their son and is determined to not let them down, not let his horrific lineage pick through the layers of proper behaviour. This is kind of hard when he has Lady Ophelia reminded him of his origins all the time.Lady Ophelia has perfected the art of appearing cold and distant, even obnoxious most of the time. Since she was a child it has been driven into her mind that those of lower origins than hers are beneath her notice and Drake Darling gets to her more than most. She can't accept how such a lowlife can move in the same circles as her.So when Drake finds Ophelia at the bank of Thames with no recollection of who she is or how she came to be in the river, he decides to get his revenge on her and persuades her that she is his housekeeper, determined to deceive her for just a day, just to teach her some humility. But the day turns into days and the days into a week and soon Drake comes to care for the new Ophelia he sees. But is this her true self or is she really the obnoxious girl he knew all those years?In the beginning of the book Ophelia was the most annoying heroine I've ever met. For the life of me I didn't know how LH would redeem such a snobbish and rude person. She belittled everyone she didn't consider her equal, she was rude to servants and she acted so entitled I just wanted to congratulate whomever pushed her into the river.But then slowly Phee changes. She learns to enjoy doing simple chores and caring after animals. She is overjoyed with simple gifts and gestures. She finds pleasure in just sitting in front of a fire and sketching. And while some of them are insticts left over from her previous life(the animals and the reading) she also learns that the lowliest of servants is just as important as the master of the house.This combined with the bits and pieces we learn about her past help in forgiving her for her awful behaviour. And the fact that when she gets her memory back, she doesn't lose her newfound appreciation for other people's work.Drake was fun. He was a nice person, proper and hard-working. Everything to make the Greystone's proud and never have them regret taking him in. There are demons there but he gets over them with the help of a certain feisty lady.Overall the book was much fun. My only black spot was when Drake had sex with Phee before she remembered. I thought he took advantage of her. But so did they so I won't hold it against him much.

4.5 stars! “Don’t tell me that when my memories return I won’t like you. Because I don’t believe it. I won’t believe it. I know what I feel for you now at this very moment, and I know deep within my heart, to the depths of my soul that I will never care for anyone as I care for you.” Drake Darling may be raised by aristocrats but he is not one. He cannot escape who he truly is, especially when Lady Ophelia Lyttleton goes out of her way to insult and belittle him at every opportunity she has. Which is why when Drake found Lady Ophelia confused and with no knowledge of who she is, he decided to tell her that she is his servant as a petty revenge. Although doubtful at first, Phee eventually found pleasure in doing household chores for her employer. However, she is later heartbroken when she regained her memory and discovered that everything that has transpired between her and Drake was nothing more than a revenge act on his part. Once more, My Darling Rogue is the second book from Lorraine Heath’s historical romance series, Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James. I know, I am reading this series out of order again but this looked like the most interesting out of all books. I like the amnesia trope in historical romance so this one was fun! I have not read any book from the series this is connected to but I do not think it diminished the enjoyment I had with it. Meet Lady Ophelia Lyttleton: She is the daughter of an earl. In Drake’s words, “She is opinionated, irritating, haughty,” and I can assure you, she is exactly that during the beginning of the book. She never dances and entertains spares, let alone commoners. Her line could be traced back to William the Conqueror so naturally, she believes she’s all that. She was a literal bitch. She had always been angered by Drake Darling’s existence, if she could kill him she probably would. That’s how much she hated him. Phee, however, is another story. She was a girl who was nice and had a care for the people and the animals that surrounded her. And eventually, it was revealed that there was more to this haughty aristocrat than what she portrays herself to be. Meet Drake Darling: He was born as Peter Sykes. He was the son of a murderer. It was something that has always haunted him. He does not have any blue blood at all but he was raised within the aristocracy. His mother entrusted him to Frannie Darling who married the Duke of Greystone. His new family loved and treated him as their own. But no matter how refined he is by now, it will not erase the fact that he’s a commoner. He does not like Lady Ophelia either for she slights him with every chance she has. He can’t seem to understand why she was so bothered by him but eventually realized it’s because she believes him to be beneath her. Lady Ophelia Lyttleton is Lady Grace’s (Drake’s sister) best friend, so the two cross paths all the time. During an evening ball, Lady O sees Drake again and she can’t help but put him in his place and remind him that he is beneath them. She’s disgusted by the Ladies showing interest in Drake Darling, ladies did not consort with commoners! Ophelia, being high and mighty, approached Drake, - “Boy,” she repeated with a touch more arrogance, “do fetch me some champagne, and be quick about it.” Of course, Drake obliged because he knows she’s just provoking him. This is not the only time she gave him the cut direct. She was a horrible person to him. And how the tables have turned when Drake found Ophelia unconscious in Thames. When she woke up, she had no idea of who she was at all. His initial plan was to return her to her family but she was being so bossy even when she seemed not to remember that she was a lady. Drake decided to tell her that she’s his servant to teach her a lesson and as a little revenge too. He planned to keep it going only for a day…until it had been more days than that. As days passed by, he discovered a woman who was not at all like Lady O who was always so arrogant to him. And he can’t help but fall for her. Revelations, explanations, Traumas, internal conflicts and finally a well deserved HEA!Lady O was a complex character. In the beginning, I did not immediately like her for the way she treated those who she deemed beneath her. She was so annoyingly haughty. But, I must admit that her disdain for Drake entertained me. It was so obvious that she was attracted to him but she has her reasons why she cannot and she must not, so, she resorts to hating him. Her trauma does not excuse her actions. What she did to Drake was not very nice. However, it does explain why she is the way she is. Why she’s so guarded and why she doesn't like Drake, who looks like the kind of guy who can lure anyone without thinking of the consequences. Who she was as Phee, I believe, is the real Ophelia. One who’s protective of who she cares for, one who wants to shelter animals (Drake said something beautiful about this in the epilogue which explains why she does that), one who’s not judgemental of where Drake came from. A person who’s strong and intelligent. Lady Ophelia was her defense mechanism. A facade of who she should be. Phee is who she is, buried by Lady O deep within her. I came to understand her character and eventually cared for her. I loved her by the end of the book. I can see why Drake loved her! Drake’s life was actually so sad. I loved him immediately. Perhaps because he was on the receiving end of Ophelia’s contempt. I loved how the book started and ended with his journal entry. I love his relationship with the Duke and Duchess, it’s very touching how they loved him as their own. I feel sorry for him because he feels the need to prove himself worthy of being taken in although unnecessary. And this part, “But no matter how far I journeyed, I could not escape my sordid beginnings. I could not be anything other than what I was born to be.” It was so good! He was a commoner, and yet he was raised by aristocrats. He made something of himself. He’s now a wealthy man and yet it cannot erase his past. It cannot erase the fact that his father is a murderer, and he is afraid that he might be just like him. Drake was very human. He was not perfect. He had flaws, he had conflicting emotions and contradicted himself because he was a man who had more to him. Although his initial decision was to teach Ophelia a lesson, he could not help himself but be intrigued by her and eventually care for her well-being. He dislikes her at first, but only because of her disdain for him. Both Drake and Ophelia were flawed people who brought out the best in each other. I love the amnesia trope so this one was really enjoyable for me. I was hooked right from the prologue and I stayed up way past my bedtime just so I could finish reading this one. I loved both the hero and heroine. I dislike shrewish characters but I guess I have a thing for heroines who believe themselves way too good for the hero at first (e.g. Annabelle from Secrets of a Summer night and Cynthia from Like no other Lover) so when they fall for the hero and finally admit it to themselves, it’s all very sweet and rewarding. What Drake did to Ophelia was wrong. He should’ve returned her to her family but I understand his motivations. If someone was constantly reminding me that I was beneath them, I would take the chance to exact a petty revenge to get back at them. What Drake did was wrong but that does not make Lady O’s disdain for him any more right. I think she got what she deserved. Later on in the book, she admits that she deserved what she got and that she would probably do what Drake did. For he had been the subject of her anger for so long that one would understand why he did something so immature. The synopsis might seem wild, but Drake was actually so kind to Ophelia. He had not mistreated her or anything, he was even the one doing the chores because she did not know how to. Although he decided to be rude to her at times to attempt to humiliate her, he did not mean it. Eventually, Phee learned and was actually doing the chores not because she believes it her duty but because she wanted to please Drake. She was quite fond of him. Drake was the type of man to crumble completely when Ophelia cries. He was willing to do anything for her. Even when he was not aware he loved her, he showed her that cared for her. He wanted to teach her a lesson and yet it had not felt like a success at all when she regained her memories for he knew that he had hurt her. He was honestly so in love with her! I do think Phee loved him very much too. Although she fought it when she knew the truth. And the parallels okay! Lady O snubbed Drake when he asked to dance with her years ago, and now it is she who demanded him to dance with her. I found it so sweet, I screamed! For someone who had the rule not to dance with spares and commoners, she was willing to let go of that because she was a better person than she initially was. Phee, who was so buried deep inside Lady O had come out and was ready to try her chance at happiness and love. They changed each other for the better, they saw each other for who they truly were, knew their deepest hurt and shame and were ready to love each other anyway. This was so long! I got carried away. I just loved Ophelia and Drake. They are so complex.  Flawed and yet completely redeemable and loveable. I think that the ending was a bit rushed, I think she should’ve regained her memory at the 70% mark but it was not really a big deal. It worked out just as well but if she regained her memories earlier, the angst would’ve been better! Overall, I enjoyed this so much! Heath once again proved herself capable of writing characters that had depth and a romance that’s so tender it’ll tug at your heartstrings. Some quotes: “Without my memories, with no tarnished past”—with no memories of Wigmore to intrude—“I was free to fall in love with you. I do love you, Drake. At first I was hurt and so angry but when I take in the entire tapestry of my life, my happiest, most joyful moments have been with you.”“I won’t be Lady Ophelia after we marry.”“You’ll be marrying a commoner, but the title of Lady comes from your father. You can keep it.”“I don’t want to. I want to be Phee Darling or Mrs. Darling. No more, m’lady. Just Mrs.”“You don’t have to do this for me, Phee.”“I’m not. I’m doing it for me, and because I want the world to know that I’m incredibly proud to be your wife. We’ll be equal, Drake. You and I. That’s how it should be. How I want it.”“Then that’s how it shall be.” (IM SOFT!!)“She didn’t do her chores around the house because they were her duties. She did them because she wanted to please him. She wanted him happy. She wanted him to want to come home to her. She wanted to greet him with a smile and a kiss. She wanted him to take her into his arms. She wanted him to return at midnight, slip into bed beside her, and cradle her. She wanted him to sleep beside her, his breaths matching hers.”She turned her attention back to Drake. “Kiss me once more, my darling rogue.”Taking her in his arms, he did just that.“The love of a wife for a husband she chose. The love of a woman for a man who appreciated her strengths and her weaknesses. The love of Phee, the center of my most precious memories, the heart of my life.”

3.75 starsyes yes yesss the amnesia trope totally SLAPS in this one!its a wonder what starting over or a clean slate could do to a person. the h was a nasty lady when she had all of her wits about her, but i loved the character development she had through her amnesia. there were some revelations that made me understood her sour disposition and sympathized with her. she grew from someone i wanted to slap to one i wanna be friends with. although, i did want to slap her again when the reveal or the moment she got her memories back happened. i mean, how dare she blamed the H and be angry with him!!! he kinda reminded me of Simon Basset from Bridgerton, but a much better version.overall, this was such a lovely read. would totally recommend!

Drake Darling comes with a past, a past that haunts him but has shaped who he is. Drake can't deny his parentage, and was then adopted by a aristocratic family, and knows the ins and outs of the Ton. There is one lady, that haunts him and makes him burn...Lady Ophelia Lyttleton. A woman that spites him and rejects him at every opportunity, but when he rescues her from a drowning, he takes her home, and discovers that she has no idea who she is. So he settles her in his home as his housekeeper, thinking a bit of revenge will be good for her. Ophelia may not have her memory, but as she starts to begin a new life, she is confused and disoriented at times, but she feels drawn to Drake. She knows that he is keeping some secrets from her, and even though she has her doubts, she sees a man that is good and true, a man she is beginning to love and one she never wants to lose, even if that means never regaining her memory.Once More My Darling Rogue is the second book in the Scandalous Gentleman series. This series is connected to one of her previous series " Scoundrels Of St. James". I loved seeing the connection between these two series. I fell in love with the first series a while ago, and is one of the comfort reads that makes you laugh and engages you, and this series has definitely done the same. In this latest installment we definitely see many positive attributes of this story that will just break your heart. There were times I was laughing, and many times the moments between the characters were so tender and poignant I needed a few tissues. I loved the raw emotion that is displayed in the story and I just couldn't get enough. Lorraine Heath has done it again!! She has written a story to warm you heart and thrill you to the core.One of my favorite aspects of this story is the "Amnesia" theme, I always love guessing when that memory is going to come rolling back, and in this tale, it comes back when you least expect it. At the beginning of the story there is quite a bit of tension between Drake and Ophelia. Ophelia at first, I didn't like her much, seems a bit stuck up but you sense that there is more to her character than meets the eye. Drake is a scoundrel, and just like his adopted father, he part owns a gentleman's club "Dodgers" but knows both sides of the "tracks" and he definitely adds a element to the story that is thrilling and unique. The idea of making the woman he likes but hates too, to become his servant, adds a fun flair to the story line....and he definitely stirs things up.I enjoyed seeing how this story played out in the end. Once More, My Darling Rogue is a romantic tale of redemption, love and forgiveness. There is such a emotional feel to it, and definitely is a ride of ups and downs, twists and turns, surprises and shocks, laughter and passion....and a beautiful love story that will worm its way into your heart~~fun filled and a sweet story that had me from the beginning!!WELL DONE HEATH....YOU HAVE WON ME OVER ONCE AGAIN!!!

As ever with Lorraine Heath, I have my niggles with this and I can't quite articulate what I really liked about it, but it was a solid, enjoyable read overall and I'm rounding up from 3.5 stars to 4. The central premise is no one's favourite: amnesia. The heroine and the hero do not get on. She's a stuck up aristocratic heiress (with a tragic, serious history to explain that behavior) and he's saved from a life on the streets when he's adopted and raised by a Duke. Thus he's 'lowborn' and will never be good enough for her. The hero saves the heroine from drowning in the Thames. She's got amnesia and he lies to her saying she's his housekeeper and then they fall in lurve. Until, that is, his lie is revealed and it all unravels along with the mystery of why she was in the Thames to begin with. What can I say? The story captured me. I liked the hero. I liked the heroine. And I really liked the resolution. If it had been less well handled this probably wouldn't have made four stars but I enjoyed the way it finished up. Heath's writing is good and period appropriate. The sex is still a bit too euphemism, metaphor heavy for my taste. The big niggles: the book is woefully skewed towards the aristocracy. You'd think being a maid was the Worst Job In The World compared to being an heiress and trying to snag a husband. I think there might have been more mileage in having the heroine embrace the role or take something from it. The hero's behavior post-amnesia did stretch credibility for me. If he was trying to teach the heroine a lesson he failed, she was a terrible servant and he let her get away with it time and time again. She went on a shopping spree, for goodness sake. What kind of maid needs kid gloves, I ask you? What kind of maid buys a pair for her mate on her employer's credit? A fired maid, that's who. The title is daft. And shoehorned into the text at the end. Stupid Avon.But, as I say, I was entertained. I'll never read this again, but I was entertained.
