Shadow Music

A Novel

De: Julie Garwood

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

“Action, drama, desire, revenge: Shadow Music includes all the necessary ingredients for romantics to plunge into the moors, mountains and magical myth of medieval Scotland.”—The Roanoke Times

Prized for her exquisite beauty, Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, the daughter of one of England’s most influential barons, is a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle’s marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place.

Upon her arrival in Scotland, Gabrielle is immediately entangled in Highland intrigue, as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle’s bravery and prowess may prove fatal. Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, makes no such mistakes about the captivating princess. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe.

“No one does historical romance better than Garwood. . . . Gabrielle is an enchanting heroine.”—The State (Columbia, S.C.)

“A compelling historical romance.”—Publishers Weekly©2007 Julie Garwood; (P)2007 Random House, Inc.

It's Loooong!

What made the experience of listening to Shadow Music the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the story and characters. It was well written although I would have liked it better if it had moved along more quickly. I think I would have preferred an abridged version.

What other book might you compare Shadow Music to and why?

It's similar to several books in part, but when brought together in a comprehensive novel by a talented author like Julie Garwood ,with it's own twists and turns, it becomes an original.

Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?

Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel. She's everything you could want in a heroine, beautiful inside and out, kind, resourceful, expert archer, good horsewoman, protective of those she cares for.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I don't think the title fits the book, a more descriptive tag line might read: mayhem and violence in the Scottish Highlands

Any additional comments?

There was a lot of facets to this book, but it was not disjointed. It flowed smoothly although slowly at times.

I'm glad I listened to it. You get a lot for a credit.

Really good book

I love Julie Garwood. Glad to see another historical story again. I love her humor and her characters are great.

WOW!!!!! So much packed in to this one.

First I must say as this series comes to an end that I was rivited by every story. Now, aside from the entire series, this book, WOW!!! So much emotion, drama, strength. I LOVE LOVE LOVE a book with a strong heroine, I hate a weak woman, well, this one can take on the world and does!

I will listen to this series over and over again. Of course, Rosalyn Landor did an excellent job, as always!

The writing is mature, captivating and makes it difficult for anyone to talk to me while I'm listening. It is difficult for me to talk about this book without revealing because there is so much in every page. This is a must read series! Julie Garwood has done it again.

sweet

A romantic story taking place in early English history.v A rather too sweet heroine becomes the love interest of a powerful, gruff Highland laird.

Another winner

Garwood and Landor do it again, delivering another romance-adventure with heroic highlanders, evil barons, a beautiful heroine and a love story filled with passion and mischief.

Though the story lines follow predictable characters and events, we have come to love hearing them as many times as we can find new ones.
