About this listen

As heir to a title and great wealth, Will Masterson should have stayed home and tended his responsibilities. Instead he went to war. Now, after perilous years fighting the French, he intends his current mission to be his last. But all his plans are forgotten when he arrives in the small mountain stronghold of San Gabriel and meets her.

Knowing herself to be too tall, strong, and unconventional to appeal to a man, Athena Markham has always gloried in her independence. But for the first time in her life, she finds a man who might be her match. Two of a kind, too brave for their own good, Athena and Will vow to do whatever it takes to vanquish San Gabriel's enemies. For neither will back down from death, and only together can they find happiness and a love deeper than any they'd dared imagine.

I start with the narrator because so many narrators - especially in the 'included free' category - are second rate or even ruinously, wildsly bad ... but Beverly A Crick is terrific. Never a wrong word emphasised, because she truly understands what she is reading. Flawless pronunciation. Multiple accurately captured voices with several accents. When the script inserts a chuckle - so does Beverley, utterly charmingly.
The story also gets 5 stars without a doubt. The principal characters are credible, the plot well thought out, the romance tender. Even before I finished the book I downloaded everything else Mary Jo has in Audible, and I greatly look forward to hearing them.

Beverley Crick is the best narrator I've heard in Audible, and a cracking good story.

I am disappointed to report that I found this book weak in its story …
Having read so many of the authors books by know - I found this book rather boring and tiresome.

The narrator did a great job and therefore I finished the book.

Not that brilliant…
