Gentle Warrior

What did you love best about Gentle Warrior?

I truely enjoyed the story. The book kept you guessing as to what the outcome might be.

What other book might you compare Gentle Warrior to and why?

The Bride - as I feel why they are similar they are also totally different in the story line.

What about Anne Flosnik’s performance did you like?

I just truely enjoy Anne Flosnik in all audio books that I've come across

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

yes, but didn't have time!

Any additional comments?

I just enjoy all of Julie Garwood's writings.

My favorite!

I have listened to this book many times. Even if I know what it is about I enjoy it every time. My favorite book! If I had paid attention to other reviews I would have missed it.

Great story, horrible narration

Great story but will never purchase one with narrator again, she reads to slow and her voices are almost laughable

Love The Book But Narration, Not So Much

This narrator seems to think that all men speak like Count Chocula. I have found that speeding up the audio makes her listenable, not great, but listenable.
I love Julie Garwood's stories.

A bad narrator can kill a good book!

I ADORE Julie Garwood. Let me preface this review with the fact that I have read, re-read, listened, and re-listened to every historical book of hers at least 4x. I found this book on Audible and couldn't believe I hadn't listened before.

Sigh...all I can say is you lost me at the first chapter. I couldn't follow the narrator and her super deep breathing and drawn out last word of every sentence. I couldn't distinguish between voices, and her cadence is off. Simply put, I zoned out after the first chapter and will be requesting a credit return. So disappointed because I wanted to love it. Will have to consider the book.

Formula Romance

All her books seem to be the same because they all follow the same romance writing formula. I really dislike this narrator and the way she read love scenes made me laugh and it was highly distracting. I did like the hero alot, but i'd say it's a better read maybe.

Good story. Horrible, horrible narrator.

What made the experience of listening to Gentle Warrior the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the story. Lots of funny moments when the heroin constantly getting into trouble.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anne Flosnik?

Anyone but her.

Any additional comments?

Once again a good book almost ruined by a bad narrator. Also, I found it very difficult to "like" the hero. He was always so mean. There was too much shaking of the heroin which really bothered me. I was afraid the poor woman was going to get "shaken lady syndrome".

Story line predictable

If you could sum up Gentle Warrior in three words, what would they be?

Not too bad

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

As I guessed

How could the performance have been better?

Need a different narrator . Almost quit several times. Accent was so hokey.

Any additional comments?

If you can get past the narration the story was not bad.

Worst narration!!!

I LOVE Julie Garwood, but the reader on this book didn’t let me even finish the story. I really hope the rest of her Audible books are not like this.

The difficulty of being conqured and the adjustment of two cultures coming together despite their suspicions of each other.

A sweet tale of a young woman who's life changed when her life was changed due to the Norman invasion of Saxon England. Her love for her Norman knight and her fear of a uncertain future.
