Publisher's Summary:

Scotland, 1345.

They call him Wee William. Though he stands nearly seven feet tall, with arms and legs the size of tree trunks and hands as big as buckets, there is nothing wee about him. His scowl alone is enough to make most men's bones rattle with fear. And women, rather than swooning, tend to run in the opposite direction.

The giant Highlander is a self-proclaimed bachelor who has sworn for years that there isn't a woman in all of Scotland worth shaving his beard for, and for good reason. Years ago, after a bonny young lass broke his heart and left his dignity in shreds, he swore never again to put it in such peril. As a testament to his sincerity, he vowed never again to shave his beard.

Then he met her. In a single heartbeat, Wee William was lost. Forever lost to a brown-haired beauty with gray-blue eyes brimming with tears - a woman in need.

On her wedding night, Nora realized she made a terrible mistake. She had agreed to wed Horace Crawford when he promised her younger siblings would live with them. He soon broke his word and sent them away. Horace soon proved a harsh, cruel husband who owned no heart, nor a shred of decency.

On a dark, cold winter's night, when Nora had almost given up hope of ever saving her siblings and herself, God answered her prayers in a most peculiar way. Through a band of fierce Highlanders on a mission to retrieve small but priceless treasures. Treasures she had unwittingly harbored.

Little did the Highlanders know they would return with more than those treasures - they would return with Wee William's Woman.

unforgettable, the best one yet

Would you listen to Wee William's Woman again? Why?

Oh I definitely would! Wee William is my fave character in the whole series and I waited for his audio for seems like forever LOL I think this is the best performance of Brad Wills yet of any I heard so far.

What other book might you compare Wee William's Woman to and why?

There is no comparison, each book/audio has a charm and story that keeps it unique, and this one is definitely unique.

What about Brad Willss performance did you like?

Where do I start? Loved the deep voice, the flexibility of switching from character to character, be that woman, man, child, old or young, English or Scottish accents, I wondered sometimes if there is really only his voice. The passion with which he tells the tale is incredible, pulled me in and didn't let go.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was, alas real life interferes sometimes, I also wanted to drag it out so it will last longer.

Any additional comments?

I loved the book when I read it, but now having listened to it narrated by the incredible voice of Brad Wills, Wee William is burrowed in my heart for good. There will be more times where I will be listening to this audio. Thank you Ms. Tisdale for a great story and Mr.

Amelia's Story

Any additional comments?

So far, this is my favorite book in the series, probably because of Amelia. The baby of the family, Amelia Andrews is true to the reputation of the youngest sibling. She's a bit flighty, precocious, nosy about secret things, and quick to bend or disobey the rules. In the past her cute innocence has probably gotten her out of several punishments, so she isn't concerned with bending the rules.

At the age of 14 two of Amelia's three sisters were attending balls and parties with hopes of finding a suitable husband. Amelia being too young to participate, she was relegated to spend time at her mother's or aunt's side. British custom forbid her to speak to a man without a chaperone present, and preferably not at all. (Try that today!)

In her own resourceful way, Amelia strikes up an ongoing conversation with David Hartford, the Earl of Castledon, a grieving widower. It would be scandalous for a young lady to be speaking to a gentleman without a chaperone present. Ever creative, Amelia positions herself with her back to the Earl, and talks freely. Wow, does she talk freely. Amelia doesn't seem to stop talking. She's not familiar with embarrassment, sharing her thoughts and feelings without filters. The Earl is only attending the events because he has promised his daughter that he would remarry so she would have a mother.

At 33, David Hartford is 13 years Amelia's senior. His wife has been dead for 6 years, leaving him with a 5-year old daughter (now 11).

Skipping a lot of details here, Amelia was drugged and kidnapped from a ball one evening, right under everyone's nose. Her older sister, Margaret, was charged with her care that event. When she couldn't see her, Margaret enlisted the Earl's help locating her. After realizing she had been captured by an unwanted, womanizing suitor, who needed to marry a heiress to pay off his gambling debts.

Margaret took one route to Scotland and David the other, both knowing a woman could be married there without her father's permission. David found her first, beat the kidnapper, and rescued the damsel-in-distress. British societal norms being what they were, a woman was disgraced after spending a night alone with a man, no matter the circumstance. Of course the Earl agrees to marry her. His stipulations were that it would be a marriage of friendship, sans love, providing a mother for his daughter. Amelia will have his name and a title, a daughter, and enough money to buy whatever she wants.

Publisher's Summary:

The vivid scar that spans Sir Iain MacLagan's cheek is a daily reminder of the wife he lost - and of the enemy that still stalks him. Commanded by Scotland's king to remarry in order to unite two powerful border clans, lain reluctantly weds Islaen MacRoth, a woman whose delicate appearance belies a playful, seductive nature that proves dangerously attractive to a man who has vowed never to jeopardize his heart, or his loved ones, again...

Raised with eleven boisterous brothers, Islaen has little time for foolish romantic notions. Even so, she hoped for more than a forced marriage to a man who shares her bed, but not her life. Step by step, Islaen sets out to wear down Iain's defenses.

Members Reviews:

Not Hannah's Best......3-1/2 Stars.

This book is one of Hannah Howell's early books and it shows in the writing. It does have some sensual or sexual tension between the main characters but it doesn't seem as strongly developed as in her later books.

I enjoy books that have characters with flaws and Islaen and Iain definitely have issues, one of which takes manipulation to resolve. Islean has low self-esteem with very little "backbone" and Iain suffers with deep fear which manifests into him looking like a jerk most of the time. Together they learn, become closer, and develop a strong bond.

No, this book is not the most spectacular story but it is not a total disaster either. I still found this book to be likable in many areas so I would still give this book 3-1/2 stars. Its an even better listen if you wait and get it on sale!!

I could not finish this book

The story was good. The narrator was simply aweful. I would like a refund please.

Narrator not so good

A good story but the narration was bad and made the story boring . I will avoid this narrator from now on

Book was awesome, but

The book was awesome but the narrator was terrible. Go back to Angela Dawes please

Enjoyed the book but this is book no# 2

According to Hanna Howell's website this is book two in the series. Even with that being said I enjoyed it. Not my favorite HH book, but that is only because of the narrator. Ashford MacNab is not bad just not in the top five.

Title: The English Witch

Subtitle: Trevelyan Family, Book 2

Author: Loretta Chase

Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-14

Publisher: NYLA

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 103 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

The traditional Regency classic from New York Times best-seller Loretta Chase is back.

A comedy of manners

Her fathers prodigal ways have forced the extremely lovely Alexandra Ashmore into an engagement with a strange man in a strange land: a man blind to the effect her unearthly beauty has on other men, and which has earned her the title "the English Witch"! So when shes kidnapped by another love-struck suitor, Alexandra assumes shes truly doomed to a loveless marriage with her captor.

A villain redeemed

But her troubles have only begun - for although she's quickly rescued, her brave "hero" is the notoriously irresistible, unrepentant scoundrel Basil Trevelyan, who finds himself quite taken with the tart, spirited Alexandra. So taken, in fact, that hes determined to make her his own. Now, if he can only charm her into agreeing with his plan!

Members Reviews:

The English Witch

I like reading early books by successful authors. The stories have bright nuggets of things that make us enjoy the later books.

This story is comfortably predictable, and good for relaxing with a cup of very English tea.

A Charming Romp

After reading Isabella I looked forward to reading this second entry in the series. Starting in Armenia with a vague archeologist and his bewitching daughter we travel with them back to England accompanied by a handsome rake . Multiple engagements, one kidnapping, a couple of elopements and lots of lords and ladies keep the tangled plot moving. The dialogue is great fun and kept a smile on my face all the way through.

Glad I went back for this

Older Chase books which I hadn't read have less complex plots than her later books but are very enjoyable in the audio format. Perfect performances.

Another Masterpiece

I am truly sad that at some point Im no longer going to have any more books to read by Kathleen. This book was great and I cannot wait to read more in this series, I always enjoy her silly scenarios that her characters get into and of course how everyone seems to fall in love.

Beginning okay but

The story started off okay, but once the main characters returned to England it all started to go down quickly. I wasn't even able to finish the book.

Sometimes I can deal with one stupid character, but having both romantic interests being totally without sense ruins a story.

It was even more disappointing due to the fact that the previous book, Isabella, was rather good and I had high hopes for Basil.

The narrator was acceptable, but there always seems like the recording is too sharp or metallic sounding.

I have liked almost all of Loretta Chase's books especially the ones read by Kate Reading, but this one was not up to par with the others.

Language: English

Release date: 05-13-14

Publisher: Kathryn Le Veque Novels

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 239 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

It is A.D. 1486. Fresh from his treacherous turning of the tides against Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth, Sir Gaston de Russe's reputation is dark and dirty. Those loyal to Richard hate him and those loyal to Henry Tudor fear him. He is, after all, The Dark One.

In order to gain a strong foothold in Yorkshire, Henry sends Gaston to one of the largest fortresses in the north, a massive bastion called Mt. Holyoak Castle. Having formerly belonged to Sir Guy Stoneley, who is now a prisoner in the White Tower after his capture at Bosworth, the castle is still the home to Guy's wife, Remington, her three sisters, and her son.

Gaston takes possession of Mt. Holyoak, pleased with his acquisition and intrigued with Lady Stoneley, who is beautiful, somewhat shy, and demure.

Gaston soon comes to find out that Mt. Holyoak harbors a horrible secret of rape and abuse. Guy Stoneley abused his wife and sisters, so much so that the women look to Gaston as their savior. As Gaston struggles to administer the North and form alliances with those still loyal to Richard, something more is taking place that threatens to distract him from his task. The lure, the power, is more than he can resist.

A strong bond is forming between the knight believed to be the ultimate traitor and the lady who has known nothing but sorrow and horror. And with that realization, a delicate love story begins as two lonely people find solace and comfort with each other. Gaston soon realizes he loves Remington more than anything, which sets the stage for the biggest battle of his life: the fight against the Catholic Church in his quest for an annulment so he can marry her.

Join Gaston and Remington as they embark on an epic adventure of discovery, love, anguish and sorrow, defeat and victory. From the hills of Yorkshire to the halls of London, share their story of a lifetime where dreams become reality and true love really does conquer all.

Loved, loved, loved this book...............

Kathryn is becoming one of my most favorite and loved author. I have read several of her books and this one was no different. I love Gaston so much! I found myself listening as I wake up and prepared for work, on my way to work, on lunch, then driving home and while I was home. It was so interesting.

Epic Medieval Love Story

After listening to The White Lord of Wellesbourne I knew I liked the writing style of Kathryn Le Veque and I had to listen to this second book to find out more about Gaston, the Black Knight.

Ms. LeVeques clever way of writing draws you into the story and makes you feel as if you are part of the actionactually feeling the events as they happen and love being there. This epic book has times of pure sadness, times of laughter and times of intense emotion. It's truly and emotional rollercoaster that kept me guessing throughout.

Although I thought the language was a bit modern in places it didnt take away from how much I enjoyed this book. If you enjoy Medieval historical love storiesput this one on your list!

YES!

EPIC! I LOVED it! Read the white lord of wellesbourne first. The characters and the story were great. I couldnt stop reading/ listening. There were no over-the-top stupid interactions or words said to create a plot twist. I will definitely read/listen to it again. I think they equal de Wolfe and jordan. Simply a new classic.

Great story

This has been the most emotional book I have ever read.

Publisher's Summary:

A glittering French aristocrat is on the run, disguised as a British governess. England's top spy has a score to settle with her family. But as they're drawn inexorably into the intrigue and madness of Revolutionary Paris, they gamble on a love to which neither of them will admit.

Critic Reviews:

"A flawless romance in which an espionage-steeped plot is deftly balanced with a lusciously sensual love story." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Historical Espionage Thriller

I listened and enjoyed "Spymaster's Lady" and knew I had to give this book in the series a try. After listening to both I think that "Spymaster's Lady" was better but "The Forbidden Rose" did not disappoint.

This book is written around the history of the French revolution. This intriguing story details the culture for that time period with added suspense, espionage, and romance. The author eloquently writes each character with depth by tapping into their feelings, expressions, and personality.

I am looking forward to other books by this author. If you like stories with history, suspense, espionage, intrigue, and romance give this one a try.

FOR ME THIS BOOK WAS SORT OF LIKE " THE MONA LISA"

Not sure if I liked it and not sure if I didn't like it. I thought it was very drawn out with too much detail of the how-to of spying and being stealthy and not enough romance. There seemed to be a lot of characters with very hard to remember names and I wasn't sure who was on what side half the time...that being said...with about three hours left it started to narrow down to the important characters and I did like the ending. I am not sure why this was number 3 in the series...to me it should have been number two...it took you back before the time of book number two so half the time you just knew what was going to happen because you already read it in book two. I didn't hate it however, I could have done without the whole first half of the story. Sorry (sort of)

Excellent beginning to a terrific series!

Joanna Bourne has created vivid powerful characters living in a time of chaos and fear. This was my second listen and I was again swept up in their dangerous trek across France to Paris in the dark days of 1794. The author is skilled in creating secondary characters as vivid as the hero and heroine, fully realized, not simply a means to move the plot along.

Although the books can stand alone and be read in any order, I prefer them in the sequence of when they take place.

Kirsten Potter does a very good job as narrator.

Wonderful, Romantic

What did you love best about The Forbidden Rose?

Very well done even the ascents were excellent - I felt I was there !

What about Kirsten Potters performance did you like?

yes

Gripping, sexy, smart prose. a class above

French secret police, spying, intrigue and sexy love, written brilliantly. closest writing to diana gabaldon I have found. fans of Outlander would like..

Members Reviews:

Not as good as first in series

This audio tends to repeat itself for a few sentences. This book in series was extended way too much. It could have been shortened a great deal. The narration was superb

GREAT HIGHLAND HEROINE!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really liked the character of Flanna - 'The Flame': She was bold, strong and definitely in charge, which was a nice change. The story was a little slow to get going but once it picked up it was action packed and passion filled. This narrator is wonderful, she is the best at doing male voices that I have heard so far, which really helps makes the romance dynamic and believable. I would recommend because Roderic is awesome, really sexy and crafty and because the second half of the story makes up for the first.

Wonderful.

Great improvement, narration and story. It was gripping, intriguing and exciting. I couldn't put it down. I look forward to the next in the series.

Very disappointing

What disappointed you about Highland Flame?

This was a waste of a credit IMO. The story drags and the narrator is awful, I really disliked this book and struggled through it.I would never read another book by this author or the narrator.

What was most disappointing about Lois Greimans story?

Plot is slow and tedious

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Gemma Johansson?

Susan Duerden

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Highland Flame?

Probably half of them!

Any additional comments?

Terrible waste of my credits and time listening, I kept hoping it would get better!

I really wanted to like this book....

Any additional comments?

The story was drawn out...not sure if it was the narrator's reading of the story or the writing...but I thought it would never end. I would have liked a lot more "niceness" and less "battling" between the characters. I just did not relate and I think it was because of the narration...not good at all.

A house descended from the kings of Cornwall, they are a proud but warring people. Their most hated enemy is their neighbor to the north, the rich and cunning Earl of Cornwall. Dennis, however, is not like his forefathers; a giant of a man and a skilled warrior, he is also quiet and gentle. He does not possess the same fiery instincts of his family and for that, he is often looked upon as weak.

But Dennis is anything but weak; he is brilliant and introspective. Dennis is trustworthy; the earl is not. Little does Dennis realize that his offer to marry a woman of the earls choosing will change his life more drastically than he could ever imagine, and put the House of dVant in danger of being wiped from the face of the earth.

The Lady Ryan de Bretagne is the daughter of the earls captain. Having no daughters himself, the earl chooses Ryan to marry into the hated House of dVant. Ryan is a feisty, head-strong woman and wants no part of the marriage, but is forced to wed the giant knight with the mysterious gray eyes. When he takes her back to St. Austell Castle, she is introduced to a shocking new world of women who dress and fight as knights, of filthy keeps and filthy men, and of a people who want to hate her simply because she is related to the Earl of Cornwall. As Ryan struggles to become acclimated to her strange and frightening new world, the Earl of Cornwall works in secret to destroy the treaty he has agreed to fulfill, thereby eliminating the House of dVant once and for all so he can confiscate their lands. At the heart of all of the earls animosity is a terrible secret that binds Cornwall to the House of dVant, something so awful that it cannot be spoken of. But those who know the secret know how very shameful it is to both sides.

A WONDERFUL STORY RUINED AGAIN BY NARRATOR...

I could not wait for this audio to be over...I have never felt that about a Katherine LeVeque book. She is definitely one of my top five authors. This narrator was awful and ruined the entire listen for me. Terrible female voices...whiny men's voices...terrible whispering narration and just bad experience. Please Katherine..I don't mean to be unkind to this man, however, please don't use him for your wonderful books again... I'm sorry, however, that was almost painful to listen to. Love you KL...keep those wonderful books coming!!

Argh....

What did you like best about Tender is the Knight? What did you like least?

Disappointment all around. The narrator has a lovely voice but I had to set speed at 1.5 because he read SOOOOO slowly.

The heroine was pathetically stupid.

skip Daniel Dorse narrated books

This story is great but the narrator is terrible. He totally changes the meaning and tone of the story with his awkward and boring narration.

A knight so tender and true like no other

Any additional comments?

The hope of peace came with the death of Denniss father.

Another great LeVeque story

This was a good story with interesting and engaging characters. The narrator was quite accomplished and enhanced the experience. My only negative, is the audio quality. There was some sort of glitch in the recording, a very distracting "blip" sound every few words throughout the entire narrative. I am sure it is not my issue, as I tried listening on several of my devices with the same result. This was one of the better narrators, a shame his performance was impacted by poor recording quality.

Best Le Veque Novel

Everything about this book and presentation were well done. Wow. Story is great and narrator brought it to life.

very sensitive .....loving

What made the experience of listening to Island of Glass the most enjoyable?

very enjoyable...

What did you like best about this story?

the taming of the Knight and the Shrew

Which scene was your favorite?

when he like watch her breast feed Bren

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

when he begged for her life....it showed that he never let his pride get in the way of his love.

Any additional comments?

the epilogue ripped my heart out....i had become very attached to Ken.

Enjoyed this book

Good story, Tim Campbell is a good narrator. The performace can make listening an enjoyable experience. Put together a good writer such as Kathryn Le Veque. Nice experience.

Great sequel!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes if they had read or listened to the first book "Dragonblade." It's a great sequel to the first book & I love Kenneth's love story.

What other book might you compare Island of Glass to and why?

"Dragonblade" also by Kathryn Le Veque which is the first book in this series. The only reason I'd compare it to is because it is the love story of Kenneth St. Hever from the first book.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes, great adventure & romance!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked towards the end when the little knights came to Aubrielle's rescue.

Any additional comments?

The narrator is not my favorite, but I felt he did a good job switching back & forth between the characters' voices in the dialogue.
