Publisher's summary

All of England rejoiced on her wedding day. But Judith vowed that her husband would get only what he took from her!

At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes and burned with desire for her...but his heart had been pledged to another.

Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body but rejected her love...never admitting her fear of losing him.

But destiny held another fate for Judith...a fate that would keep at last...The Velvet Promise.

©1980 Jude Deveraux (P)1980 Simon & Schuster

Love those Montgomerys!

The Black Lyon, the Velvet series, and all the other Montgomery (& Taggerts) series are worth a go on audio format for those of us that love the Montgomerys and Taggerts! I only have the four Velvet series on audible, but would love to buy more in these series.

Perfect performance for a good story.

Would you consider the audio edition of Velvet Promise to be better than the print version?

The audio edition of Velvet Promise is better than the print version. I read this book many years ago. I was excited to see it come into Audible's library. I honestly think that a narrator can ruin a great story. This was not the case for this book. I was very pleased.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoy series that follow a family. The brothers were introduced well in this book. A reader is allowed a glimps of them that does not interfere with the main story. I did not feel like the next books were being "set up".

What does Gabra Zackman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I can't explain anything specific. I have listened to many wonderful audiobooks. Gabra Zackman's performance was one of the best.

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

This is a book that I wanted to listen to all in one sitting. I just downloaded the next book in the series so I can start it, and I have 2 books in my library that I was going to read before I continued the series.

FABULOUS!!!

I enjoyed this book so thoroughly. It was VERY well written and the performance was very good. The only thing I would change is the tone she read in. She sounds a bit depressed and most all women sound the same as do men. Other than that I LOVED the book and storyline. Loved all characters, bad and good. Wish it did not end
