Publisher's Summary:
In the feuding English court, gentle Lady Madelyne suffered the cruel whims of her ruthless brother, Baron Louddon. Then, in vengeance for a bitter crime, Baron Duncan of Wexton the Wolf unleashed his warriors against Louddon's domain. Exquisite Madelyne was the prize he captured...but when he gazed upon the proud beauty, he pledged to protect her with his life. In his rough-hewn castle, Duncan proved true to his honor. But when at last their noble passion conquered them both, she surrendered with all her soul. Now, for love, Madelyne would stand fast...as bravely as her Lord, the powerful Wolf who fought for Honor's Splendour.

Didn't notice I was orderig abridged...
Any additional comments?
Just wanted to mention that I love Honor's Splendour. I have a copy in paperback and Kindle. I wanted it in audio as well, but didn't notice when I ordered it that it was ABRIDGED. An abridged book may be OK if you have never read the book before, but if you have, it is VERY disappointing. The parts of the book that are left out are ones that I believe add to the story. Ms. Garwood has written a very entertaining book, but I think the abridged version did not do the story credit. I ended up ordering a copy of the unabridged book in audio, and am happy with it. But I learned from this experience that I will never buy an abridged audio book ever again. I rated this 5 stars for the STORY, not the actual product.
Good Read

Amazing story, terribly narrated...
Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Anne Flosnik?
Julie Garwood, 10 stars. Anne Flosnik like this, 0 stars. Julie Garwood and Anne Flosnik (as she read in this book,) combination? Meh! Probably NOT.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Honor's Splendour?
Man possibly dying of exposure, quiet, abused woman with dignity won't allow him to die, tries to save his feet the only way she could but that left her terribly vulnerable.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anne Flosnik?
Someone with a real accent and less caffeine.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
Better narrator.
Any additional comments?
I went ahead and purchased this despite my misgivings because I read the story. Anne Flosnik's narration in this book made my want to beg her to give up smoking and let the poor dead animal die already. I believe we all have room for change, but, this narrator just should not be allowed NEAR a classic to kill it the way that she narrates. I love classics, I hated this version. Just as I hated so many other classics that are my favourites that she has killed through neglect in the Audible Library. If you are going to read professionally, make some effort and for goodness' sake LEARN HOW, please.
Love Julie Garwood and this story, However
Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Anne Flosnik?
I will read and listen to any book Julie Garwood writes however, I do not like to listen to Anne Flosnik as it seems her words are ponderous and weighty vs light where they need to be. She has a nasal tone which I am sure is to convey the period and accents for the language but I think if she would loosen up some and pick up the speed in places the book would be a better listen.
