Lord of Danger

De: Anne Stuart

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

The plan was for beautiful Claire to marry the terrifyingly sinister Simon of Navarre, wizard in residence to Richard the Fair. Instead, her plain sister, Alys, takes her place, proving herself more than a match for the man with the secrets. Meanwhile, sweet Claire falls in love with a handsome knight, and the truly evil Richard the Fair tries to make life miserable for all.

Set in medieval times, this is a rich, gorgeous tale of love, deception, and ultimate redemption.

Written in 1997 Before The Genre Turned to 💩

What a great read! I’m so leery of anything from the romance genre these days as it all seems underwhelming, but this was a welcome surprise. Kept my attention and not too time consuming! Will be looking for more from this author! 👏🏻

Almost great

It could've been so much better if Simon didn't remind us in every chapter that he's been with countless women. This was supposed to be a romance, and being constantly remided that he was a womanizer and she an inexperienced virgin is not. But this was written in 1997 (I think), so I'll cut it some slack. I was more invested in Thomas and Claire than the main couple and they are the main reason why I even finished this book.

Really enjoyable

Story is good. There’s great character building and I rooted for the two girls throughout. It was worth the listen

Good story but I thought it went a bit too far!

I enjoyed the story behind this book but I did not enjoy the some of the parts involving sex. I thought the author strayed over the line from romance to pure sex and it wasn’t necessary and made me uncomfortable.

LONG AWAITED

Where does Lord of Danger rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is without a doubt one of my favourite stories of this genre. This book was the first Anne Stuart's books i have ever read and it got me hooked. I love the story and its characters. Simon is a wonderful hero...dark, dangerous, wicked...yum ; ) I also really liked Alys...strong and clever and not annoying at all (often a problem with so many heroines in other romances). Alys' sister Clair is a bit obnoxious, but she suppose to be that. Her romance with Thomas is very sweet and makes a nice contrast to much more intense and special connection that Simon and Alys share. The only thing that i have a little complain about is the abrupt ending...but that just because this couple is so wonderful together that i want to know more about them ; )

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lord of Danger?

When Simon secretly came to visit Alys while she is transported in the cage. I could feel his despair and longing....wow...; )

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

Everything, she did a fantastic job...just perfect. But i knew that after her performance with The House of Rohan. I always believed that from all the narrators of Anne Stuart's books she is the best.

Any additional comments?

Very happy that it finally happen and awaiting Ritual Sins next month...yay!

Amazingly Different!

I love romance, intrigue and danger. This had all of it and more. It’s story was very different from what I’m used to, but oh my, I absolutely loved it. The narrator did an amazing job! I was there through the whole thing. I would highly recommend this!

A very enjoyable book.

I very much enjoyed this story and the narration, would love to find more from this author. Will be looking!

A good listen

The narrator made this book an enjoyable one to listen to. Her different voices really matched with the personalities of the different characters and made it easy to tell who was speaking when.

The book itself was pretty good. If I'm not mistaken, this is my first time reading/listening to Anne Stuart. I usually prefer Victorian era romance, but it was cool to switch it up with a medieval setting.
Simon of Navar is really just what I want in an anti-hero, and despite her convent upbringing, Alys was smart and not at all what people assumed of her. She and Simon were well matched and I really liked their story (along her sister's sub-plot).

Awesome

I have a difficult time putting the book down. the reader did a fantastic job wasn't whining like some of the other books that I've listened to. the storyline had well-developed characters it was complex in the fact that it had side by side storylines going for the two sisters and both storylines did end up finishing. I do recommend this book.

Loved it.

Loved it. The Narrator made it come to life. She was excellent. I would definitely listen to her again. I didn't want to put the book down.
