Born and raised in Latvia, Rebecca Balodis marries Rhys Sudduth, an English diplomat. Shortly thereafter, he is summoned home to attend his father’s deathbed. Rebecca cannot accompany him at the time and becomes trapped in the turmoil plaguing her country. He is informed she died in the upheaval.

Nearly four years later, Rebecca escapes and arrives in London with their son in tow. Arriving in the middle of his sister’s ball proves awkward, especially since Rhys plans to announce his betrothal to a young debutante later in the evening.

Can this pair ever find or even recognize an enduring love?

I write historical romance fiction novels set in the 1800s forward with a twist of suspense. All of my characters and stories that are portrayed in my books are fictitious. I am a native of Texas, but I have traveled through out America and beyond. As a dreamer, I love to visit new places where I can imagine a heroine meeting a hero in a special way. I’m an avid reader of (all sorts) and I love to write.

I married my high school sweat-heart and after having raised three sons plus one daughter, our love for each other remains unshaken. Now we enjoy our eight grandchildren. We can send them home, but we’re always happy for their return.

Outside of my family activities, I sing with the Silver Belles at my church and hate to miss even one practice. The local chapter of RWA is also at the top of my list of pleasures. It keeps me grounded with craft and connected with other writers.

Most of all, I enjoy going fishing with my husband. Give me a pole and leave me alone to bask in the sun, listening to water gurgle along the riverbanks while allowing my mind to float away to some distance place. Ah! Perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
This story surpassed all my expectations of a historical romance. I love this story right from the beginning, I could the emotions and the need for passion. I felt for Rebecca and how she had to deal with being separated from her husband and finally after fours yeas she was reunited with Rhys, who thought Rebecca had passed away and was about to marry someone else. I felt like he was a tortured soul because he had found new love but belonged to Rebecca. I loved the mystery, the story is more then just a romance, it has a outstanding creative plot. I felt the story is well written for the time period and everything was described well, like I can actually picture the story like a great movie. I cant wait to read more from this author. This is a book that you will not be able to put down. There is romance in this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Deep Forgiveness
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed reading about Rhy and Rebecca love. It seems Rebecca hold on to this undying love for Rhy. When Rebecca shows up sure he would be in shock but to punish her for being alive is very dismal. I believe a part was missing where jealously should have been shown in Rhys part for Gorgi(villain) wanting Rebecca. I needed a little bit more to be sold on the part of Rhys truly loving Rebecca. It still a good book to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015

I have to admit that I have very mixed feelings about this book. On one hand I enjoyed the story tremendously but on the other hand I found Rhys's reaction to his wife's reappearance distressing. When I read a romance book, I don't want my hero desiring after another woman no matter what the circumstances. My heart broke for Rebecca and all that she had suffered not only in that four years of separation from Rhys but mostly from the way Rhys treated her from the moment she arrived. Just like Rebecca, I was angry and hurt by the things he kept doing. Rhys never asked her about that four years they were separated, never tried to find out from Rebecca how she had fared without him, never asked much about his son or how she dealt with the death of her mother and made her feel that he wished she had stayed dead by him from the moment he laid eyes on her again. Rhys even told her that she had chosen a bad time for returning and that being he was going to announce his betrothel to Susan. All Rhys thought about was his ruined plans and that he had to give up Susan. Not once did he consider the fact that if his wife had not shown up at that time and he would have went forward and married Susan, that Susan would have been ruined. Like all romance stories, Rhys finally did realize that he never stopped loving Rebecca but the hurt he caused her in no way made up for that. Despite this, I did enjoy the story and Rhys did redeem himself somewhat thus my mixed feelings but I was upset with him and totally disgusted with his earlier behavior and that made me think his love was not as deep and abiding as Rebecca's was for him. Part of me understood Rhys having dealt with Rebecca's supposed demise this way but mostly I just found myself not liking him because of it. All in all, the story did keep me entertained and I did enjoy how it played out but I felt that I could not rate it higher because of my disappointment in the heroes behavior was so great. Despite that he blocked out his memories to deal with his grief, having his beloved wife returned to him would have been a terrible shock but should still have brought on a sense of joy as well if he had truly loved her. That it took him as long as it did to realize his love for her troubled me and his desire for Susan while trying to be a husband to Rebecca only made me agree with the villain that his love was not true.

2.0 out of 5 stars The problem with Heros who are insensitive pigs
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

I appreciate that it takes a lot of effort to write a book and I admire the courage to publish that book. The problem is that when you're writing a romance, there needs to BE a romance. This is a bit spoilery so please be warned.....

Essentially the hero and heroine fall in love, get married, get separated and four years later the heroine comes back from supposed death with a child but the hero has met someone else and is wanting to marry her. Okay, this is a workable trope and has been done to good effect before - just not in this case. The Hero doesn't want the heroine back, he is in love with the new woman. The hero is a complete and utter jerk to the heroine including using the heroine as a substitute sex partner for the woman he really wants.

Unfortunately, neither the Hero nor the heroine conveniently dies or gets abducted by aliens. Instead there is a suspense sub-plot about a crazy obsessed guy who wants the heroine and her treasure. So with a half-hearted rescue scene and a half-hearted Hero speech about he REALLY loved the heroine all along and was just superficial with the new love we get a very, very half-hearted HEA after a ton of angst and heartbreak on the heroine's part, (the angst is well written though).

Here is the thing about angst, anybody can write good angst, the world is full of heartbreak with lovers unfairly and unjustly parted. Here is another thing about angst, if the cause of angst is the rejection of the loving wedded heroine by the hero she is wedded to in a romance novel, there had better be some massive redemption on the hero's part to win back said heroine.

When a hero is a jerk, you have to redeem him with a grand gesture in an on his knees, heart-blood on the floor type manner. When this isn't done, all the glorious angst for the preceding 100 pages has been in vain, cause the HEA is just unbelievable. Even if you're doing a bodice ripper, you have to have a redemption - the heroine gets a lot more leeway with other men as well, but that is another story line for another time.

This is supposed to be a romance, a reader is supposed to finish the story with a renewed faith in the power of love conquering all and it just did not happen here. If a hero calls out another woman's name when he is intimate with the heroine, there needs to be massive apologies accompanied by equally massive gifts of the Harry Winston type - or - if all else fails, a sudden remembering of alien abduction with a hideous mind probe that temporarily erased the deep and true love the hero felt for the heroine due to the trauma of the situation. This story had none of that.

For primers on the redemption of a badly erring hero I recommend  Lady Gallant  and the far darker  To Have and to Hold: (Intermix) (A Wyckerley Novel) - both of which are tutorials on proper hero angst driven redemptions for all historical readers.

What should have a been a re-wooing of the betrayed heroine turns into a dreary, duty bound acceptance of the hero's responsibilities because he DID marry her and that IS his son. The hero sorta explains his love for the new woman as ephemeral infatuation (rather unconvincingly), because hey--the heroine is the wife he is stuck with and he wants to sleep with her again a get a somewhat passionate response. No one wants a potato in bed, so the hero made a kinda effort to alleviate that problem.

The heroine, who never doubts her love, (just his and rightly so), dutifully accepts that she will always be second best because essentially she has nowhere else to go. This isn't a romance where love conquers all, this is a fair attempt at historical suspense with two people who are stuck with each other cause they are married. I would have felt better had she killed one them off or at least had an alien abduction with a brain transplant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating!!!
Reviewed in Australia on August 4, 2021

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance packed full of so much drama and angst it gave me a headache reading it. I have to be honest here, this book frustrated me to death. It had so much potential. But Rhys ruined it lol…. I hated Rhys with a passion and just wanted to throttle home the whole way through the book. He was just such a jerk, so cruel to Rebecca- and quite unnecessarily so!! The push-pull gave me whiplash, and there was so much manufactured drama and contradictions that I really did have to force myself to keep reading.
I have enjoyed the other books of Ms. Woodson’s that I have read previously, so I was hoping the whole way through the story that Rhys would redeem himself- but in the end he didn’t, and the little he did do was too little too late.
I found the story hard to get into and couldn’t connect with the characters at all. I did feel sorry for Rebecca and all she went through- but I thought she could have done so much better than Rhys!
On to Wareeze Woodson’s next book. Stay tuned.

Thank you, Wareeze Woodson!
