About this listen

In Rexanne Becnel’s award-winning debut novel, an innocent noblewoman is forced to honor a betrothal agreement with a ruthless warrior who is her family’s most bitter enemy.

Lady Lilliane was betrothed to Corbett of Colchester at the age of fourteen, long before their families became sworn enemies. Years later, Corbett unexpectedly turns up to claim his beautiful bride and, by contract, her valuable dowry: Castle Orrick. Suspecting some royal intrigue lies behind Corbett’s sudden desire for this marriage, Lilliane vows she will never lie in his bed.

But what fate awaits Lilliane - and all England - if she resists him? And what darker fate if she surrenders?

Enjoyable

The synopsis sounded interesting but I wasn’t sure what to expect based on the few Audible reviews posted, however, I was engrossed from the beginning and binged right through to the end.

It’s a well written story (with clean love scenes) that focuses primarily on the relationship of the 2 leads. There was a backstory and subplot that eventually came full circle, though I wish it had been fleshed out more to enhance the intrigue.

The narrator has a lovely reading style for storytelling. As such, she didn’t have to resort to dramatically changing character voices to differentiate between speech and general text, which I appreciated.

I recommend this novel and look forward to listening to other stories written by this author and read by this narrator.

likeable

Narrator sounds like she is reading a children's book and she didn't have much difference between the characters voices. I recommend listening at 1.05 or 1.10x speed. the book was enjoyable but it took until after the first hour before it got interesting then I had to stay up most of the night to finish it.
