Publisher's summary

In this splendid New York Times best-seller, Julie Garwood brilliantly crafts the majestic story of a young Englishwoman determined to fight for her freedom...a woman whose life would be transformed by the rare, unexpected gift of love.

When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry - and selected a bridegroom for her - it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain.

At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tenderly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side - and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed!

Checks all the Boxes

I want to say that this was a marvelous story, but that is understated. I t fulfills most of my requirements in that it is good historical fiction, has good deal of adventure and romance interwoven into it. In addition the performance of the narration was excellent as usual by Rosalind Landor. Bravo 🙌!

I liked this one.

The story kept me company on several winter nights. The narrator was good with the different characters. I enjoyed it.

Fantastic Team make for fantastic entertainment!

Julie Garwood is truly one of the best of the historical romance writers, and Rosalyn Landor delivers the story to its best.

Once again the Highlanders and the English butt heads with a beautiful lady in the middle. Johanna is a powerful character who overcomes unspeakable terror to become a voice that strikes fear into the hearts of pitiful weaklings.

Excellent Story!

Highland hunk to the rescue.

One of my favorite stories by Julie Garwood. So glad that Audible recorded it. A light hearted, but moving story. Love the characters and their quirkiness. I had a silly grin on my face with some of the antics Johanna gets herself into. I love how Gabriel acknowledges his feelings even though it isn't cool for a warrior to have those. Narrator was okay, although not my favorite she seems slightly old for the character and her male voices are not great.

rating the listen

great story narrative ehh. not the worse I've heard. I find so far not one Audible other than the outlander series has a decent narrator. I will keep trying.

Wonderful

I love Garwood's books. But pair that with Rosalyn Landor and you have a truly magical experience. I love a narrator that tells the story and not just reads it.

Loved this book!

Has a little bit of everything, weak, abused damsel finding her courage, strength and leadership.
Handsome, powerful Highland warriors, romance, war (almost) and justice.

Unexpectedly funny

I love a strong female lead but she's also hilarious and witty. You'll also fall in love with the side characters! I'm only disappointed this wasn't longer or better yet a series! Ignore any negative reviews as those readers don't have good taste... lol

one of my favorite books and a great narrator!

I have this book in paperbook as well and just love it! I loved this narrator and really enjoyed listening to the book being read to me as much as I loved reading it!
