About this listen

She is the daughter of his enemy...and the keeper of his heart.

Richard de Claiborne, the dark earl of Dunsmore, serves King Edward Plantagenet well. Sworn to obey his king's every order, he nevertheless chafes at the command he wed the daughter of his enemy - a man who slew his father in cold blood.

But King Edward wants peace in his lands, and he will stop at nothing to get it. If he has to order his most powerful Marcher lord to marry a Welsh princess, he considers it a small price to pay.

Princess Gwenllian is a political pawn. When she's forced to marry the evil Black Hawk de Claiborne, she quakes at his fierceness and brutality. But she does her duty to her father and her people, knowing she will never surrender to her enemy.

In the halls of Black Hawk's great keep, Gwen glimpses a man who can be tender and passionate - and who teaches her about breathtaking sensuality and a desire so great it threatens every vow she ever made to keep her heart locked tight.

As war once more looms between Wales and England, Gwen realizes a terrible truth: she's in love with the enemy. When long-buried secrets threaten to destroy her fragile happiness, she must make a terrible choice - or watch the man she loves sacrifice his life to save hers....

Contains mature themes.

Narrator

This would have been much better if it was read by a man and/or a man and woman. I had a very hard time understanding this narrator.

Good mixture

I enjoyed the story line. The characters kinda drove me crazy. What if he doesn’t love me 😢. She always thinks the worst of me. 😞.
Tons of make up sex... okay, just a lot of sex period... hold on to your skirts!

What a great book

I never read one of Natasha Wild’s books before but now I’m going to be looking for another one. She writes like Kathryn LeVeque. So much so that while reading sometimes I had to look back to see who wrote it. Kathryn LeVeque is one of my favorite authors.

Annoying Heroine, But I Only Have Myself To Blame

Author definitely has an excellent grasp of history, but I couldn’t get past how dumb & whiny heroine chick is, exacerbated by Anna Parker-Naples’ incredibly annoying interpretation of her voice. Anna’s take on every other character is spot on except for the main female protagonist: go figure. I soldiered on despite a voice that was like nails on a chalkboard.

Needs A Male Narrator

This was the first novel I have listened to by this author and I enjoyed it very much. I will admit that I loved the story, but the narrator needs to be a male. The leading male character (Richard) was a strong larger than life leader of fighting men, so a female narrator just didn't sound right and the female lead character's voice (Gwen) sounded like a ten year old girl, not a grown woman of twenty... it was off putting, especially during the love scenes. Author, Kathryn LeVeque, writes stories such as this and she always uses a male narrator, making the characters sound as they should.

I would like to highly recommend the author Kathryn LeVeque if you have never read any of her books. She seems to always get it right.

superb intimacy

enjoyed a historical medieval romance fictionalized romance. quite an interesting story, from a young woman's perceptive of being married off the enemy. something that is often overlooked and happened countless times in history.

Erotica not historical

I bought this story as a historical romance. But it is best classified as Erotica. It was more sex scenes with some story in between. Not my cop of tea and I could not finish it
