I loved everything about this book!

This book kept me captivated from beginning to end. The story wasn't your typical historical romance and I liked that......it kept it interesting. I recommend this book not only to anyone who enjoys romances but also people who like Native American stories.

I heard this narrator before and I really enjoy her reading. Many people complain when she whispers and I don't understand the complaint. She only whispers when the book says "she/he whispered". How can you fault the narrator for whispering when the author wrote that in the book?

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its worth a credit (or better yet if you find it on sale like I did snatch it up quick!)

Excellent Book

What made the experience of listening to The Lion's Lady the most enjoyable?

This book had a great story line. While it was a little slow it start, I will listen to this one time after time again. Great book!

What about Susan Duerden’s performance did you like?

Susan Duerden performance kept me intrigued through the entire book. I found myself sitting in the car, not wanting to leave the story. Excellent

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, unfortunately, this was not possible. I found myself sitting n the car to continue listening until I absolutely HAD to get out.

Great story

Loved the story premise and Susan Duerden is a great reader...really adds to the story.

LOVE!

LOVE Julie Garwood and her ability to tell stories! shaman is pronounced wrong though.

loved it!

one of my all time favorite stories. having it on audible is the icing on the cake.

Another Julie Garwood WIN

A very unique storyline and one that kept you hurrying back to hear more! Another win for Julie Garwood

Loved the story

I’ve always have been a big fan of Julie Garwood books. But I cannot tolerate the narrator of this book. All the women’s voice were creepy and more suited for a horror story. Please take a page from Amy Daws and pay for male and female narrators. I just can’t buy anymore like this book.

Excellent Well-developed story

This is a great story, well developed with strong believable characters. From the first, the background story drew me in and held my interest all the way to the end. I especially liked Lyon and how he stayed so confused by his delightful lioness that you couldn't help being on his side.

Definitely worth the credit. As usual July Garwood has produced an entertaining novel. Susan Duerden did a very good job of narrating.

At Last! The Lion's Lady Is Here!

The Lion's Lady was such a favorite of mine that for several years, whenever I was in an airport bookstore, I'd buy another copy to read while flying.

For those of us who really love Julie Garwood's historical romances, this Regency series is wonderful with this one being the best.

I can hardly wait for the rest of the series.

I love the fact that Christina is from 'the New World', which Lyon has so much difficulty in discovering. There is so much humor and love in Garwood's books.

Narratooor drags wwwooorrddss ooouuutt

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

I'm still listening to the story but I needed to write the review of narrator. She does not take away from the story but dragging out the last word of each sentence is nerve racking!!!
