About this listen

Danielle D'Aville, the ward of Edward III, was sworn to obey the King's order to marry her enemy Adrien MacLachlan, the legendary Scot who masterminded the fall of Danielle's beloved home, Aville.

Suddenly she was the arrogant knight's reluctant wife, pledged to a marriage neither desired. But swept off to his castle in the Scottish highlands, and into his strong embrace, Danielle was soon possessed by a raging passion for the husband she had vowed to despise.

I enjoyed the story, I have not checked the historical accuracy but taken at face value it offers a perspective on the English versus French battles of the time with a lovely background story.

Good story, excellent readers

An ok listen. The naivety of the female lead was deeply frustrating . The narrator’s Scottish accent was truly terrible, sounded like a poor Sean Connery. Not worth a credit! His pronunciation of ‘’maclachlan was so bad!

Not the best Scottish accent.

I was quite enjoying the story despite the bolshi heroine until she effortlessly drew a longbow and loosed an arrow into the target. Even a fairly strong man would find that difficult. The narrator tried valiantly.

Hmmm

Utterly appalled at this - less than 30 minutes in. Will be reporting such misogynistic ‘work’! Utterly horrified
