Publisher's summary

All of England rejoiced on her wedding day. But Judith vowed that her husband would get only what he took from her!

At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes and burned with desire for her...but his heart had been pledged to another.

Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body but rejected her love...never admitting her fear of losing him.

But destiny held another fate for Judith...a fate that would keep at last...The Velvet Promise.

©1980 Jude Deveraux (P)1980 Simon & Schuster

Love those Montgomerys!

The Black Lyon, the Velvet series, and all the other Montgomery (& Taggerts) series are worth a go on audio format for those of us that love the Montgomerys and Taggerts! I only have the four Velvet series on audible, but would love to buy more in these series.

First in a wonderful series

These four books feature strong, brave heroines and equally strong men who rise above their cultural standards to create truly equal romantic partnerships. Am I reading too much into them? I don’t care. Jude Deveraux was a trailblazer. This particular book is also especially well narrated.

Kept my interest

Any additional comments?

I would have given it five stars except the main male character was so cruel to his wife - hit her, raped her, laughed at her, flaunted his "lover" in front of her and everything else repulsive. It was very hard to like him at all and hard to understand why the heroine loved him. The book held my interest however, kind of like a train wreck.
