The exquisite niece of Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory, Regina Ashton, is outraged over her abduction by the arrogant, devilishly handsome Nicholas Eden - and is determined to make the rogue pay...with his heart.
A golden-haired seducer, Nicholas has been hardened by a painful secret in his past. And now that he has besmirched Reggie's good name, the hot-tempered lady has vowed to wed him.
Her fiery beauty stirs Nicholas as no woman ever has - and the rake arouses Reggie's passion to an unendurable level. Such uncontrolled desires can lead only to dangerous misunderstandings...and, perhaps, to a love that can live only once in a lifetime.

Is that supposed to be Regan/Reggie/Regina on the cover? I'm confused, because the tanned brunette looks nothing like our leading lady, described as having alabaster skin, ebony hair and crystal blue eyes (or the like). Perhaps this is Selena, sneaking away from a rendezvous with Nicholas....***SPOILERS AHEAD*** Nicholas was emotionally cruel to Reggie for much of the story, and seduced her at a ball - outdoors. Reggie comes across as both a level-headed lady and a young harridan; the shouting/screaming scenes between the H/h were just plain sad. I like "redemption" stories but this one lacked warmth and intelligence, at least until the very end. And for Reggie to be kidnapped twice (once by her own family, who were well-connected but didn't know Nicholas had married their niece?!) was a bit hard to swallow.
This is not my favorite story by Johanna Lindsey (although I'm sure I'll read another at some point).

Love Only Once A Malory Novel (Audible Audio Edition) Johanna Lindsey Laural Merlington Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
I actually liked this book because the heroine was fabulous. She was innocent without being too naive. I also loved how much she loves her family. I liked the love interest though his stubbornness started to get a little old by the end of the book.
The author did a great job describing the people, places and clothing and it helped bring the book to life. For the first in a series, she also gave enough of teasers to really keep you wanting to read more of this endearing family.
The narrator did not bother as much as other reviewers but her attempts to differentiate the characters by accents did get a little annoying. I will see if it bothers me in the next book.
A new family to join. I'm a sucker for series that follows a group as these are. What a great introduction to all the many characters found in the first book. Reggie and Nicholas start and end with kidnappings hers and his. This is the most fun I've had in a while, the interaction between family members who truly love and care for each other is marvelous. Of course we have all the angst of he loves me he loves me not and family who can battle among themselves but stand together in a crisis.. The pirate the confirmed bachelor's and a few bastards thrown in with jealous women, what else do you need. I met the Mallorys some time ago and so glad to get acquainted again, plot makes for many more great reading times to come.
Oh, this was baaaaddddd, classic, 1980’s bad. I’m so sorry because I read Lindsey way back when I first discovered historical romances and thought to try her most popular series. I very seldom leave a book unfinished, and never one I paid money for. But at 40 percent thru, I just couldn’t push my way forward anymore. Someone with more appreciation of the vintage bodice rippers from 30-plus years ago might enjoy this. Otherwise, steer clear.
This is absolutely not on par with her other work. There is no chemistry between the couple and they are barely together throughout the book. I finished it because I kept thinking it would get better but it did not. A huge waste of time and money. And I write this as a long time fan of hers and The Mallorys.
If I weren't already familiar with the Malory family & the extended series, I would have detested Nicholas Eden. He was so cruel to Regina. She was so sweet & beautiful, she didn't deserve the lengthy heartache he caused. He would lash out at her with hurtful, angry words so often, she had no choice but to start defending herself. But then he would get upset over her 'expected' rejection. He'd told Regina that she would regret her choice of husband well before they married. He later told Eleanor that it was the one thing he'd wanted to be wrong about, but HE was the antagonist! Weird mindset. He ended up being a great guy in the end, but geez, nearly every scene between the two of them was depressing. Even his plan for a romantic evening was handled horribly. Rather than be nice to Regina, he decided to get her drunk & take advantage of her. The next morning she was left to wonder if she was losing her mind, because she couldn't clearly recall the events of the night before. The only saving grace besides the wonderful Regina was the addition of her uncles. Her cousin, Jeremy Malory, age sixteen here, was especially a delight.
Okay, I'll say it While I can appreciate the desire to update covers for reprints and a new audience, there is just something about the older covers that draws my attention. I'm not saying that they are always better, but maybe having those covers is why I've never been embarrassed about what I was reading. If I wanted to read, I was going to read, and public opinion be damned. I know that now people feel more comfortable because they are using e-readers or covers aren't quite as suggestive, but again - it never really bothered me.
As I mentioned, I had actually read the 3rd book in the Malory series first. While I was a little clueless when it came to the hows, whys, wherefores of Nick's relationship with Reggie's uncles, it wasn't too confusing. But I immediately started looking for the first two books so I could read more about those Malorys.
I kind of fell behind with this series - thanks to FB and Goodreads, I have been discovering a variety of authors and my TBR list/ pile has grown to epic proportions. But I thoroughly plan to reacquaint myself with all of the Malorys before I read the new ones.
Oh, Regina and Nicholas- where to begin? I remember thinking that I would have loved to have Reggie's (or is that Regan's) problem - too many men to choose from. And, given how old I was when I read these, I suppose I should be forgiven for not understanding Nick's reticence towards marriage. But for all the misunderstandings, craziness (pirates, kidnappings), and familial interference, this story was just sweet enough to give this then-teenager all the sigh-worthy moments that she wanted in a romance. While this was not my favorite of the Malory stories, it certainly was a fitting start to a fun and wonderful series.
Is that supposed to be Regan/Reggie/Regina on the cover? I'm confused, because the tanned brunette looks nothing like our leading lady, described as having alabaster skin, ebony hair and crystal blue eyes (or the like). Perhaps this is Selena, sneaking away from a rendezvous with Nicholas....
