Lady at Arms

De: Tamara Leigh

Narrado por: Mary Sarah Agliotta

He was the vilest of men.

Lizanne Balmaine has spent years honing her skills at arms, determined she will never again be at the mercy of any man. When she comes face to face with the one who stole her future, she seizes the opportunity to exact revenge. Soon he is her prisoner, at her mercy. But something is different about him, something that makes her question her purpose. Is it possible a man can be so changed? More, can she right the wrong that could lay ruin to her family?

She was a question never before asked of him.

Ranulf Wardieu does not seek a bride, nor a settling of scores when his mission for the king places him in the path of a beguiling, raven-haired maiden. But fascination turns to fury when she imprisons him. Accused of wrongdoing, the nature of which she refuses to reveal, he discovers the lady is as skilled at wielding a sword as she is at verbal sparring. When he bests her at her game and his jailer becomes his captive, he is determined to learn what wrong he has done her. However, as they engage in a battle of wits and wills and he glimpses her woman's heart, he discovers Lizanne is a question never before asked of him - one his own jaded heart refuses to answer.

really enjoyed it all around

I enjoyed this book. It is fairly predictable but still enjoyable. Apparently, it is a clean remake...so U appreciate that too. I will be reading /listening to the next in the series!

A female tomcat meets her match!

This is one of my favorite fictional period pieces by Ms. Leigh. A strong hero and heroine in a medieval setting with simple splashes of romance and daring bouts of swordplay and intrigue. It has the right mixture of dialogue and action to keep your attention, along with an excellent narration by Mary Sarah. The narration adds such grace and dimension to the reader's enjoyment. So, if you enjoy a thrilling clean medieval romance, don't miss your opportunity...buy this audiobook.

We'll researched, well written...

The narrator is awesome! I love her voice/s and her telling of the story. The book is well written and stays clean (THANK YOU) and lovely. Great plot, great use of period vocabulary, and historical rettoric.

Couldn't get over the accent

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I watched a movie not long ago where a character intentionally put on an overly dramatic British accent. As soon as I heard this narrator, all I could think of was that character. I couldn't get over it...I'd love to listen to the rest of Tamara Leigh's books, but since all I can think of is that character I'll stick to reading them.

Feminine & Fearless

When I read the description before purchasing the book I was very intrigued. The mystery of the hero and the confusion of the heroine. The book is fun, serious, extremely interesting, well written, and well performed! You won’t want to put it down. I finished it too fast. I’m just grateful Tamara Leigh has so many midevil tales. I can’t wait to start the next series.

Amazing!

I could not stop listening! Amazingly fast paced, adventurous, romantic story! A much more racing and romantic story then EverAfter! (One of my favorite movies!). I thought the narrator did a great job. It is your typical romance story, with those awkward moments that make your own cheeks flush due to the awkwardness of falling in love and verbal sparing:) but very clean. The characters are lovable and you feel completely drawn into the story as you cheer them on to finding out they truly love each other.

great

another great read. I have truly enjoyed listening to this book and the narrative. thank you

totally entertaining, sweet and clean

couldn't out it down. love this writer. good clean and fun. narration is great too

Not my favorite

You can tell that to author wrote this in a different time in her life. Although it was clean, I felt her hero lacked strong moral character. There was little to no conviction on God and faith, And the beginning of lizanne action seamed silly and actually annoying through the first half of the story. However it did pick up but it lacked the thorough creative story line that her faith series held. Sometimes there was things her charecheter did that had no purpose. This is not typical of Leigh's writing, so I was a little disappointed. In the end it was an entertaining read. I may read another in this series or skip it.

Could not stop reading

very good. from the first page to the last. didn't want to stop reading.
loved it
