Publisher's summary

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.

Excellent

Wonderful story and performance. I love Julie Garwood and have all her books in paper form, digital and now on audible.

Splendid

Julie, I have once again thoroughly enjoyed one of your stories. You write like a woman who has lived many lives and most in ancient England and Scotland. Very well done Julie.
Anne, you bring the characters to life. Each character has their own characteristics. Well done Anne.

Great story

Love the story, narrator could have been better. To me, she made the characters seem whiney.

Classic Garwood, but couldn't you get Rosalyn Landor??

I have read several Garwood books, and even though they are quite formulaic, there is just something comforting about them. They almost always live up to expectations. However, the performance of this novel quite ruined the experience for me. I think Anne Flosnik did the best job she could, but her voice was not well-suited for this book.

Good story narration could have been better

I remember reading this story in regular book form and it was absolutely wonderful. In audio it could have been better. The voice of Madeline was very babyish and why me kind of nasally to. it was very distracting I know Madeline is supposed to be a character who gets into scrapes without knowing it and should have an innocence about her butt The Voice was just too distracting. or perhaps The Way It Was Written Madeline was just too much of a oxymoron. One minute she's this naïve young woman taming this Warrior and the next minute she's bold and kissing the hero. it just threw me off.

One of my favorites

Absolutely love this book and I've read it several times, but Anne Flosnik ruined this book for me.

Couldn't listen to this lifelong favorite

I know that listening tastes are subjective, and I know there are tons of romance readers/listeners who enjoy Anne Flosnik as a narrator. But I can't stand listening to her. The guttural way she does the men's voices combined with the overly breathy way she ends sentences and does the female voices grates on my nerves. In the future, I'll be skipping books narrated by her. Which is unfortunate, because she does the narration for several of my favorite historical-romance authors.

Narrator wrong choice for this book.

This book may have been better if the narrator had done a better job. Narrator failed to give the characters the strength and depth I think the author intended. Flosnik didn't do justice to the male characters.

Well thought out story.

Enjoyed it, but the sex scenes were way too frequent to be believable or fun.

Nice book, glad I was able to read it!

this was a great book set back in the day when there were true gentleman to fight got your honor. funny to see how head strong Madeleine was in a setting so long ago. thanks for the great read.
