I Liked It!

This book has all the elements that make up a good Historical Romance story, although the sexual and arguing scenes were a little over the top for me.

I thought Ann Flosnik did an excellent job. In my opinion she's a good actress and I can't understand anyone giving her negative reviews. Her ability to change her voice, accurately portraying the different characters each time they speak, is truly a gift. It's very hard for a women to sound like one man, much less several different men...and women. A narrator can make or break a story, and Ann Fosnik's performance makes this story.

Good story, terrible voice

I enjoyed the story immensely but could barely stand the voice. It was aggravating to say the least. There is a sometimes nasal, sometimes guttural sound that grated.

All in all, an okay listen.

Strong characters, both emulate the title.

The characters and the story were engaging, but the audio performance was weak. I would have preferred that the uncle was punished for his part in the murders, too. With another narrator this book could be 5-stars.

Good book but not my favorite by this author.

I love most of Julie Garwood’s older books, this was her first and not one of my favorites but still good one. While I would re read The Bride, Saving Grace and most of Julie Garwood others, this book is a one time read. You can tell the author gets better with time on her latter books. Narrator was not the best, but as the story continues it gets easier to ignore her.

Ugh! This narrator is on my 'never again' list.

I like Ms. Garwood's stories. This one was no exception. But the narrator. Oh dear. I could barely get through the book.

Thank you, Julie Garwood for bring History to life

betrayal, family heartbreak, protection of the heir, revenge.

Narrator is TERRIBLE!!

I LOVE Julie Garwood's historical romance books. I have read them all over and over again. I do admit that this is my least favorite of her books, but I like it all the same. This narrator is simply terrible. And as I read the other reviews I realized that I will have to suffer through listening to her again. I cannot believe that she has been hired for several of Julie Garwood's books. If these were any other books I would stop them and delete them.

Not her best!

Not crazy about the narrator, but got over it. The story; if you like a lot of sex scenes, this is your book. I didn’t like the anger of Jeffrey, it went on to long. Of all the Julie Garwood books this is my least favorite. Disappointing.

Narrator is terrible

Not my favorite Julie Garwood book but the narrator was terrible! I wont listen to this narrator again.

Not Bad

The story is sweet. It seems to drag on a bit. The main characters keep going over the same thing through the whole book. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad book but this one isn’t my favorite. I still rated it a bit high. There is spice but sometimes it felt forced.
