About this listen

In Rexanne Becnel’s award-winning debut novel, an innocent noblewoman is forced to honor a betrothal agreement with a ruthless warrior who is her family’s most bitter enemy.

Lady Lilliane was betrothed to Corbett of Colchester at the age of fourteen, long before their families became sworn enemies. Years later, Corbett unexpectedly turns up to claim his beautiful bride and, by contract, her valuable dowry: Castle Orrick. Suspecting some royal intrigue lies behind Corbett’s sudden desire for this marriage, Lilliane vows she will never lie in his bed.

But what fate awaits Lilliane - and all England - if she resists him? And what darker fate if she surrenders?

Nice listen, at times a little boring, but it had healthy dose of medieval spice. I even chuckled a few times.

Spicy

Struggled to get into it as the narrated spoke too fast and it became irritating, felt like she couldn't wait to finish the story. However is was improved by slowing the speed down.

A Pity

An interesting story line but I cringed a number of times when the female lead was obviously going to make the wrong decision and complicate her relationship with her husband.

Disappointing

Did not finish - the consent issues made me too uncomfortable. I read a lot of romances (especially historical) and I can cope with a lot of male authoritarianism and possessiveness accurate to the time but I felt genuinely uncomfortable listening to the 'Hero' speak to/about the Heroine and how little he considered her feelings to be worth. He seemed to lack any empathy at all and was incapable of compassion. When the sex scene started despite her saying no multiple times and flinching away from him, I couldn't go on.

Perhaps he improves later but I don't think anything could redeem him for me.
