Love Letters

Conquests, Book 2

De: Emily Murdoch

Narrado por: Katie Bunn

Anglo-Saxon England.

Having built a rich empire and keen to win the favor of the royal court, Hilda and AEligard have little time for their daughter, Catheryn.

But one man, Selwyn, is intrigued by the intelligent and high-spirited girl.

Selwyn sends Catheryn a love letter as a joke, disguising it as though it is from one of her father's thanes. Catheryn is fascinated by the letter, and cannot imagine who would be capable of sending a poem of such imagination and beauty.

When Selwyn offers to help Catheryn identify the mysterious suitor, she accepts, and they start to realise that they have more in common than they thought.

Soon, Catheryn finds herself falling in love with Selwyn instead....

But the strict hierarchy of Anglo-Saxon England stands in their way.

Selwyn, a steward, could never be considered Catheryn's equal, let alone an eligible suitor.

Will they manage to stay together despite the odds?

Or will duty tear Selwyn and Catheryn apart?

Emily Murdoch is a medieval historian and novelist. She is also the author of Conquests and Captives.

Loved listening to this story.

This story gives back the emotions of a young couple trying to establish their feelings for each other now that they are no longer children but young adults at a time in history when it was practicaly unheard of to break through class bounderies and decisions where made by the parents.

I ❤️ clean romances

Looking for an light enjoyable book to curl up with? I definitely recommend this book. And if you can listen to it on audiobook, the narrator has the perfect voice for this book. It’s a sweet read about a young medieval teenager, Catheryn, trying to become a woman in her own right. Enter Selwyn, her childhood friend who seems determined to remind her not to lose the carefree youth he knew her to be many years ago. However, before Selwyn realizes it, he is in love with who she has become in his absence. The rub of course is that now he is just a lowly steward and she is the Lord’s daughter and heir. How could she ever return those feelings?

Loved it

This book by Emily Murdoch was wonderful. Very well written and engaging. I loved the humor in it too. I highly recommend it in the Audible form.

Very Entertaining!

Where does Love Letters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I believe I would rank this book in the top 20. It was such a pleasure to listen to Katie Bunn.

What other book might you compare Love Letters to and why?

I think Cecelia Mecca books dealing with the highlands both writers hold very true to the time setting of the stories.

What about Katie Bunn’s performance did you like?

Her tone was good and the way she brought the story to life. Let's say it was a quick 3 hrs.

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

Well, let's just say I did not leave my office while listening to the story. I have to say that Selwyn kind of ticked me off and I made a few nasty comments. So I guess you can say I got into the story.

Any additional comments?

I suggest you either read the story or listen to the book there is an interesting ending. Also please note the description of the book is right on. I find that is not always true. I recommend you take a chance on this one.
