Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Hannah Howell enthralls listeners with her unforgettable tales of the love between fierce knights and their passionate women, weaving her storytelling genius to give us one of her best romances yet....

On the eve of her wedding to the heir of Saiturn Manor, the stunningly beautiful Gytha is shocked to learn that her betrothed, a man she barely knew, is dead. Now she must marry the new heir, Thayer Saiturn, a battle-hardened knight known as the Red Devil....

With a face scarred in battle and a heart broken in love, Thayer has no interest in marriage. But not even the Red Devil can break the promise his foster-father made years ago and soon finds himself married to a woman whose exquisite beauty and sweet innocence intrigue him. But can his new bride look beyond his scars to find a hidden passion and undying love locked deep inside him?

Contains mature themes.

Narrator was quiet

It was a good story and the narrator was good but she was just so soft spoken that I had a hard time focusing on what she was saying and she was a bit quiet

Good book

The storyline was a bit predictable, but the characters were well done and each had to overcome their own perceptions of themselves and each other. I liked the banter between them. I’d recommend this book!

I absolutely loved it!

This is a well-done version of beauty and the beast. I listened every second i could to this wonderful story. I adored the characters, and the storyline was unique... which made it even better! I was hooked from the first... in fact I wanted more when it came to its ending... thank you for the enjoyment!

Listened for the narrator

I am a huge Mary Jane Wells fan and listened for the narration. This is my first Hannah Howell experience. I enjoyed the writing style, liked the story, and felt connected to the characters. The dialog was witty, it made me laugh several times.

I already own

I already own this book that was released in 2013 and this one said 2021 so that’s not true. I’m getting a refund!

Book was ok

Loved the story but got tedious at times. Did not like the reader at all. She was not good at the various character voice changes

meh....boring

just a pretty boring plot... no chemistry no emotion...like a computer wrote it...and though normally I like Mary Jane Wells' narration, even she couldn't salvage it...

Unenjoyable

It was tedious to make it through this book. Mary Jane Wells is an amazing narrator, but even she couldn’t save this one. The story was tiring and the multiple attempted rapes in the plot were not what I was looking for in a lighthearted romance. The main characters were annoyingly hesitant about expressing their feelings even though it was obvious to everyone around them. I didn’t realize that this book was written years ago, because of the release date of the audio book. That may explain why it feels so outdated.
