Audible has the worst selection of B.Small books

Bertrice Small is my all time favourite writer of old fashioned bodice rippers, unapologetically trashy, lusty and impossible to put down. Audible, however, has the worst selection of her books.
I just finished reading Adora and Wyndham series and hoping to listen to something equally exciting I downloaded this book.....What a disappointment, the book is hard to get into, very slow moving, dull and just plain boring.
The heroine is not particularly likeable and a bit annoying, she is one of those stereotypical tall and masculine Scottish lasses who fight better and generally do everything better than any man...
There is not much passion and love between H and h, none of them are in love, it is more like two friends learning to love each other though “doing their duty” and having lots of s....not my favourite romantic theme.
Did not finish, stoped after chapter 8...

With all of that said, it is probably just me, as I don’t like Scottish romances at all and Bertrice Small didn’t convert me.

Boring

I have not read a book by Bertrice Small for some time and looked forward to it. But this was a mistake. The characters were superficial. The story boring. Finally I just wanted it to end. A waste of money and time.

Good book

This was a very well written book by Bertrice and the narrator did a fabulous job with the characters. My only fault was that the book itself was exceptionally long and the story seemed to have dragged out too long! It would be nice to have a follow on to this book to see if the first born from both sides actually got together or not. A good listen though!!

Shallow storyline

Found the storyline to be tedious. Found the romantic aspects missing and lovemaking vulgar. Thought the book would get better further along, but was disappointed: waste of time.

Great Story

One of the best books I've listened to in quite a while. Not as adventurous as I hoped but entertaining non the less. If you are looking for a great read after this try Winter king or tea rose. I wish other reviewers would advertise a next read for me.

Great Disappointment

This is my 1st negative review. Personally I believe in pushing through a book. I have listened to some great books with bad narrators and still managed to finish. This is the first i have listened to a bad book with an ok narrator...Seriuosly one of the lines was she woke up..used the bathroon and left it for her helper to clean...took a bath...brushed her teeth...got dress...went down to breakfast where she was served oatmeal which she added honey and cream then ate.....of course not in my exact wording but the meaning was the same.... this book put me off completely...it was boring...the description indicates more of a search for the lead female's equal...so i would expect multiple courtships not at chapter 3 she was already married off by the king's orders. Waste of credit. I will not finish this book!

Disappointed

Too predictable stories starting to be the same story line really love this author but need new story lines

Very bored with this one

The story line draws on and on and this narrator makes no attempt to make each character sound different.
She also pushes each voice as a loud and angry character. Not a fan and can’t listen anymore. Loved the previous border books and narrator.

so disappointing

it starts with female that can out-fight anyman, and when she needs this particular skill with an enemy she is weak and docile. he even threatening her children. seemed like author went back after she completed the book and added a whole section unworthy of her Talent

loved it

Loved it,as usual. Ms Small was the Queen, wish there were more on audible now
