About this listen

Adair Radcliffe is only a child when her family perishes in the War of the Roses, so her real father, the womanizing King Edward IV, takes her in, honoring his promise to her mother. Once Adair turns 16, the king marries her off without her knowledge - and to her later outrage - in a wedding by proxy. But when tragedy leaves her a widow twice over, Adair realizes that her already tenuous social position has sunk even lower. Now, all she can do is hope that the Scottish laird to whom she is sold will have mercy on her. But little does master or servant suspect that love knows no rank.

Contains mature themes.

A very well written story. I was compelled I listened. I cried. I replayed visualised. It was intense. Yes, it was gracious, well done I look forward to more. This was the first of your books I’ve read, and I’ve listened to many books. I will now listen to for books, hopefully have as much joy as I did with this one.

Adair led a remarkable life of constant change, and like a cat with 9 lives she always managed to land on her feet. I liked how historic facts were seamlessly woven into this storyline and I was invested in the outcome. Justine's narration was perfection as always.

An interesting blend of history and fiction

This was an interesting time in which to write. There was a lot of cruelty back then and surviving the elements was tough. In this novel the heroine was super strong otherwise she would never have achieved so much. Everything was neatly wrapped up in a satisfied ending. I look forward to listening to another of this author’s tales.

Another great story from this author.

I wanted to love this book but it was too drawn out, the characters had a vast dialogue but they weren't well developed at all.
The emotions in the book were very flat and the voices were hard to distinguish.
If you enjoy the historical references then you may enjoy reading this but for a love story it fell very short and was very sad and depressing.

Too long
