About this listen

(Tudor Rose Book 3)

Feisty orphan Pippa de Lacey lives by wit and skill as a London street performer. But when her sharp tongue gets her into serious trouble, she throws herself upon the mercy of Irish chieftain Aidan O'Donoghue.

Pippa provides a welcome diversion for Aidan as he awaits an audience with the queen, who holds his people's fate in her hands. Amused at first, he becomes obsessed with the audacious waif who claims his patronage.

Rash and impetuous, their unlikely alliance reverberates with desire and the tantalizing promise of a life each has always wanted—but never dreamed of attaining.

As good as the previous in the series, it's a shame Alex is so rubbish at the Irish accent, he's one of my favourite narrators but this one was beyond him, there are some good Irish narrators out there with so much Irish in this book it was a bit of a miss to cast him; he made the Irish sound like West country yokels.

Great touches and small bits from previous books but none of the tedious retelling of tales you usually get. A very well crafted series

loved it.
