Absolutely loved

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lion's Lady to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version, but I loved the Audio version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lion's Lady?

The prologue to the book was a wonderful description of what had happened in the first days of Christina's life and the dream of the Shaman was so descriptive that you could not help but be drawn in.

What about Susan Duerden’s performance did you like?

I loved the voices and her calm cadence which she uses while speaking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction, but I can remember thinking, could that really happen?

Any additional comments?

I really liked this book. Thankfully if you don't agree with me you can return this book. I would recommend that if you like other Julie Garwood books, or other historical romance books then you should try this book.

Great story!

I enjoy this author and this was a great story. Loved the characters and the plot. Christina was wonderful as was Lyon. Loved it!

Still a Favorite

Always was & still is a favorite story. One thing, the woman who did Christian's part sounded too native born English instead of someone who might've had a slight French accent due to her background. Otherwise, overall, an excellent endeavor.

Gallentry Returns

A refreshing change to our hostile world. Keeps one guessing. Unable to pull away. A woman's book that men could learn from.

I love this book!

This book is one of Julie Garwood's best!!!! I have read it 4 times!!!!!!

Interesting twist of history and romance

The story is interesting, peppered with details about Dakota traditions. The romance scenes are pretty detailed. The narrator tends to sing-song and accent the last word of every
sentence. Ignore that and enjoy the story.

Worth the credit

Garwood infuses humor, endearing characters, intrigue and steaminess for a good read. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more of the series.

Awesome

I simply love Julie Garwood’s books. They are so much fun to read. In this book The Lion’s Lady you find a strong, intelligent, conning , woman. She’s a perfect match for her Lyon. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys, adventure and LOL moments. This book has it all, including some good loving. Not excessive though. One of my favorites.

Hero or Villain?

I've loved the story, and series, for decades! My old paperback was well worn. However it's hard to stay engaged in the story when your main character/hero is voiced like a villain. Susan does a great job reading, and distinguishing voices, I just can't get past the hero sounding sinister and creepy instead of sexy and seductive.

Incredibly entertaining!

Julie Garwood came through again with another page turner. It keep me wondering what was going to happen over and over again. Great character development also!
