Truely lovely Story

I loved the story. Tommy, has to be one of my favorite character, you can’t help but fall in love with him. Elizabeth at times was very annoying and childish. Sometimes it was hard to remember that Elizabeth and her family went through a very difficult period when they lost everything, which made Elizabeth a bit selfish and unwilling to give up the comforts of nobility when they regained it all back. I also liked the side story of the phantom warriors of Robert the Bruce, and Thomas’s key contribution to that group of men. But at the end true love is well worth the wait.

I have listened to all of the series so far. This is the best one yet. The love story made me laugh, cry and then cry happy tears Can't wait to hear the next story.

lovely

loved this one. such an amazing story. The romance is beautiful and moving. Must Read

AWESOME book!

It had been a while since I ventured into this series, and oh, how I missed it! I ADORED this story, and I've always wondered about the mysterious Striker, so I was excited about this story. It certainly didn't disappoint. This was a fabulous book and I can't wait to check out the next one!

Antony was a new narrator for me, and I wasn't sure about his voice at first, but I really liked his voice, and his accents. I can't wait to hear the next story!

Great Series

I have read every book in this series, and I believe it to be one of the best fiction based on history series I have ever had the privilege to read. This book was as good as all the rest, while being just a little bit different. It was about people who are family and friends to one of the main characters, but worked it's way back to the general theme of the series at the end of the book. Monica McCarty never fails to deliver.

One of my favorite

I felt like this one offered more pertaining to storyline. Even has Beauty's Gaston character.
Ha Ha

Longing and heart breaking, I was pulled right in

i was pulled right into the book. My heart went out to Tommy, I was rooting for him right up ntil.... You'll have to read or listen to it yourself.

Really good, not her best

Only issue w/ narrator: mostly, women's voices sounded more like children's - unusual for him.
