Honor's Splendour

De: Julie Garwood

Narrado por: Anne Flosnik

In the feuding English court, gentle Lady Madelyne suffered the cruel whims of her ruthless brother, Baron Louddon. Then, in vengeance for a bitter crime, Baron Duncan of Wexton—the Wolf—unleashed his warriors against Louddon's domain. Exquisite Madelyne was the prize he catured...but when he gazed upon the proud beauty, he pledged to protect her with his life.

In his rough-hewn castle, Duncan proved true to his honor. But when at last their noble passion conquered them both, she surrendered with all her soul. Now, for love, Madelyne would stand fast...as bravely as her Lord, the powerful Wolf who fought for...Honor's Splendour.

Good book, but Darth Vaderette was annoying

When I saw another's reference to Darth Vader I laughed out loud. It was exactly my thought when I was listening to this novel - the more intense the scene, the more Darth Vader would have been jealous of the hissing stage whisper that turned what would have been a good listen into a comical gigglefest. She literally put the King of the Raspy voice to shame! (seriously.. there is no way to put it... I've never laughed through a sex scene like I did with this book - every mention of the word "her" sounded like a pained evil monster about to attack a fluffy bunny; it was just that out of place). I really recommend listening to the preview before purchasing.

The humour aside, the narration killed what would otherwise have been a very enjoyable romance novel with a strong male and very entertainingly wrought female character.

Romance and Amusement

This was a wonderful and enjoyable story. Really enjoy Julie Garwood books so entertaining you don't want them to end.

She was an idiot with no backbone

She was an idiot with no backbone. This book was way different from Garwood’s normal historical romances.

the best Julie Garwood piece yet!

this story was delightfully romantic, funny, and refreshing in a tale that is one of Julie Garwood's best stories. loved it!

Story OK, Narration annoying

I'm a Julie Garwood fan, but a bad narrator can ruin it. When I purchased this book, I forgot I don't care for this narrator (Anne Flosnik). She is OK I suppose, but has some traits I find really annoying. One, she kind of drags out lots of final words on her sentences. Two, overall, the narration is kind of monotone. It's not literally monotone, but it comes off that way anyway. Not a lot of differentiation between people or emotion as written. LIke her voice stays within a limited range. For example, when the hero "roared" something, it was read as a sort of gruff whisper, which doesn't sound like "roared" to me. I'm not sure I will be able to tolerate listening to the whole book.

I like Rosalyn Landor, who has narrated some other Garwood books. She's much better.

wonderful 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

yes 5 stars it's a must read ! love 💘 the story line and the characters. a book that I will read over again and again.

Would you be willing to try another one of Anne Flosnik’s performances?
