Resumen del Editor

The Survivors' Club: Six men and one woman, all wounded in the Napoleonic Wars, their friendship forged during their recovery at Penderris Hall in Cornwall. Now, for one of them, striking a most unusual bargain will change his life forever....

Ralph Stockwood prides himself on being a leader, but when he convinced his friends to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, he never envisioned being the sole survivor. Racked with guilt over their deaths, Ralph must move on...and find a wife so as to secure an heir to his family's title and fortune.

Since her seasons in London ended in disaster, Chloe Muirhead is resigned to spinsterhood. Driven by the need to escape her family, she takes refuge at the home of her mother's godmother, where she meets Ralph. He needs a wife. She wants a husband. So Chloe makes an outrageous suggestion: strike a bargain and get married. One condition: Ralph has to promise that he will never take her back to London. But circumstances change. And to Ralph it was only a promise.

Survivors

The Survivor's Club is one of the best series I've read and I still have a couple more to read. Mary Balogh has a fertile imagination. I'm looking forward to reading her other series.

Survivor Series is like Comfort Food

This author writes easy listening novels for people who just want a happy ending. There is much repetition and so one can lose some of the story but will always be able to learn that information again. Mary Balogh novels are leisurely stories that have romance, historical character roles, usually wealthy dukes, counts, earls etc. And very happy endings. I never get tired of the same premise.

WONDERFUL AND JOY MADE READING THIS BOOK EXCITING

Great series

Very enjoyable story and narration. Loved it most when the members of the Survivors Club get together. Already purchased the rest of the series.

Love Surviors Club

Would you consider the audio edition of Only a Promise to be better than the print version?

I like both it did take a bit to get used to the narrator but really really good,

What other book might you compare Only a Promise to and why?

Graveyard series they both keep you interested in different ways

Best in series so far

Up to the last half an hour or so, it was 4 stars for the storyline (narrator is excellent as usual). And than the villain/crude got his deserved set down and launched it to deserving 4.5 stars. For 5 stars story it would have to be something I’ve not seen so far. It seams as if only nobility had happily ever after in stories from this era.
I’m certain life was far less colorful and by far more dreadful for middle or lower classes but love was most likely as great and as terrifying and exhilarating as for everyone else.

I love this author

The reader is excellent. The story is full. The characters go through good development.

Great series!

I love how fresh the author is with her storylines. The characters are very likable. Great narration.

Only A Promise

I enjoyed "Only a Promise"/The Survivor Club Series. The characters were believable and realistic. Thank you

An unusual storyline with unique characters

I saw that some reviewer‘s found this one to be a downer, but I really did enjoy it from beginning to end. Of course, being Mary balogh, you know it’s going to have a happy ending, but you never know exactly how they’re going to get there. I devoured this one in a day!
