A Novel

De: Julie Garwood

“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.

Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe.

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

Great

I enjoyed listening to this audio book again. I re-listen to most of Julie Garwood's books like I used to reread them. The narrator Rosalyn Landor did an excellent job of all the different voices. Sometimes I even forgot I was listening to a woman narrating. She's that good. Definitely worth a credit.

I shouldn't have hesitated

I waited a long time to read this book because of the negative reviews. I should have known better. I've enjoyed every book I ever read from Julie Garwood. This was a good story with mystery, action and romance. Not my favorite in the series (Ransom was my favorite), but enjoyable and worth my credit.

Wonderful story! Thank you, Mrs. Julie! How I miss you. I love all of your books. God bless!!

As usual, I have always loved all of
Your books. I love how every book was brought to life.

It Was long

The book was long....it kept going on and on and on. I was expecting something as witty and funny as The Bride, but it was not even close. Even with Rosalyn Landor reading, it still became a chore after a while. I can't say I would not recommend it...I can say it is something to get used to.

Such a good, sweet story

This type of book is not my favorite genre so I don't normally purchase them. But I'm so thrilled it was on sale because it kept my attention and I listened to it in two days. Usually, I find too often this genre is heavy-breathing, bodice-ripping stories with no real story, or believable characters. This book was an exception among the books of this vein that I have read. it was fast paced, had characters that were likable and plenty of villains, like King John, love, suspense, honor, treachery, etc.
Because I enjoyed it so much I will be looking at more books by Julie Garwood. And Ms. Landor was a splendid narrator. I'm sad to leave these characters behind.
