About this listen

The first time Thomas MacGowan saw Elizabeth Douglas, he thought that she was a princess. To the son of the castle blacksmith, the daughter of the powerful lord of Douglas might as well have been. Despite their differences in rank, they become inseparable - until Thom confesses his love, and the humiliation of realizing that Elizabeth has never considered him a potential suitor drives him to battle.

Elizabeth is devastated. She never meant to hurt Thom, but her only hope for security is to marry for the betterment of her clan. When the English capture her younger brother, she turns to the quiet, steady former protector who can climb anything. But the merciless, muscled warrior is not the companion she remembers. Though Thom has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with Elizabeth, can he truly refuse the alluring woman who makes his heart race?

Really liked the story and the narrator’s voice except I wish they would use a woman’s voice for the women’s parts. The man impersonating a woman’s voice sounds like a children’s book character and it takes you out of the story. But overall, a great story to listen to.

Great but needs an additional woman’s voice

Excellent plot, sometimes expected but sometimes unexpected, hot romance, though a tad long, and I love the narrator for all of his male voices, his female voice might be a little better

4.5! Great - love Tom and Elizabeth

Only issue w/ narrator: mostly, women's voices sounded more like children's - unusual for him.

Really good, not her best

Enjoyed this entire book very much. Thom is imperfect, yet an admirable & amazing character. Really like the interactions of childhood friends & how their different social classes in society impact them throughout their lives. Especially during the tumultuous war time. Great narration. Love this series. Hate I’m nearing the end of it. As always we get more than cameos of many characters from previous books in this series!
