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.

Good story, excellent readers
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.

Not the best Scottish accent.
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!

Sean Connery reads historical romance.
I'm sure this novel had potential, but honestly, I could not stop laughing at the Scottish accent. It's like Sean Connery is reading it. There were moments I had to skip because it was so awful.
Still it's a standard bodice ripper.

Story romanticising rape and abuse
This is a story trying to romanticise rape and abuse. Made me sick to listen to it and couldnt finish the story. It might be factually correct but that's no reason to try to glorify/romanticise it or make it OK by making them fall in love in the end. That's not love that Stockholm syndrome. Narration was OK.

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