About this listen
Anglo-Saxon England.
Having built a rich empire and keen to win the favor of the royal court, Hilda and AEligard have little time for their daughter, Catheryn.
But one man, Selwyn, is intrigued by the intelligent and high-spirited girl.
Selwyn sends Catheryn a love letter as a joke, disguising it as though it is from one of her father's thanes. Catheryn is fascinated by the letter, and cannot imagine who would be capable of sending a poem of such imagination and beauty.
When Selwyn offers to help Catheryn identify the mysterious suitor, she accepts, and they start to realise that they have more in common than they thought.
Soon, Catheryn finds herself falling in love with Selwyn instead....
But the strict hierarchy of Anglo-Saxon England stands in their way.
Selwyn, a steward, could never be considered Catheryn's equal, let alone an eligible suitor.
Will they manage to stay together despite the odds?
Or will duty tear Selwyn and Catheryn apart?
Emily Murdoch is a medieval historian and novelist. She is also the author of Conquests and Captives.

Story
When Veronica said "I do" to Sebastian Sinclair, Duke of Edgefield, she thought all her dreams had come true. He was dashing and doting, and she absolutely adored him—until he betrayed her trust, shattering their marriage, and her heart, into a million tiny bits. She hasn't seen her husband in the two years since, and she'd just as soon make it twenty. But when she learns that her beloved grandfather's dying wish is for her and Sebastian to attend the family's Christmastide celebration, she swallows her pride and asks him a favor: to pretend they're the happy couple they once were.

Story
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.

Loved listening to this story.
This story gives back the emotions of a young couple trying to establish their feelings for each other now that they are no longer children but young adults at a time in history when it was practicaly unheard of to break through class bounderies and decisions where made by the parents.

I ❤️ clean romances
Looking for an light enjoyable book to curl up with? I definitely recommend this book. And if you can listen to it on audiobook, the narrator has the perfect voice for this book. It’s a sweet read about a young medieval teenager, Catheryn, trying to become a woman in her own right. Enter Selwyn, her childhood friend who seems determined to remind her not to lose the carefree youth he knew her to be many years ago. However, before Selwyn realizes it, he is in love with who she has become in his absence. The rub of course is that now he is just a lowly steward and she is the Lord’s daughter and heir. How could she ever return those feelings?

Very Entertaining!
Where does Love Letters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I believe I would rank this book in the top 20. It was such a pleasure to listen to Katie Bunn.
What other book might you compare Love Letters to and why?
I think Cecelia Mecca books dealing with the highlands both writers hold very true to the time setting of the stories.
What about Katie Bunn’s performance did you like?
Her tone was good and the way she brought the story to life. Let's say it was a quick 3 hrs.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Well, let's just say I did not leave my office while listening to the story. I have to say that Selwyn kind of ticked me off and I made a few nasty comments. So I guess you can say I got into the story.
Any additional comments?
I suggest you either read the story or listen to the book there is an interesting ending. Also please note the description of the book is right on. I find that is not always true. I recommend you take a chance on this one.

Is it love?
Selwyn and Catheryn are from different social classes so they aren't suppose to fall in love. I really didn't like how he toyed with her feelings. Loved the time period and thought the author and narrator did a great job of switching between these two main characters. Thought the author did a great job of making me feel like I was there.

A delightful story!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audiobook, as a sweet romance story, set in the Medieval time period, in Anglo-Saxon England. The author uses her knowledge of the time periods, and weaves it into the story, making the story more meaningful and understanding, as a result.
What about Katie Bunn’s performance did you like?
Katie does a good job changes voices for the main characters, which makes it easy to follow.
Any additional comments?
It gives an insight into how things were, during this period of history. The differences in status based on either birth or land ownership, and how they become part of the nobility, was interesting. It is a sweet romance, woven within the time period, and makes it delightful to listen to.

Very worthwhile
Oh my word. This is such a sweet and romantic love story and I simply loved every second of it. What a pleasure!
This is the second in the series and is considerably shorter than the first one and it is a stand-alone.
The main characters held their own and each showed different yet very endearing strengths.
I must say that I had a bit of difficulty to begin with with the names of that period but that is only because they are unfamiliar to my modern day ear and I quickly got used to them so that wasn't a real problem.
The audiobook is again narrated by Katie Bunn and she has a pleasing voice.
Please do yourself a favor and read or listen to this story. It is really worth it.
The above is my honest and unbiased review of a free audiobook version of the story from the author.
