This was definitely a more historically accurate romance than I've read in awhile. Forced marriages, clan wars and dodgy rulers were the norm. I know I should appreciate the author for her fine work in research but in a little way, it makes the journey to happiness a little rougher. Men were the rulers and could do as they pleased and who they pleased. Obviously, this does make romance a little tricky. We have to get past the hero being a douchewaffle because of course, he fights the love bug.
The storyline was interesting and the characters showed a lot of growth from the beginning to the end.
The narrator does a great job and I found him extremely easy to listen to. Saying that, I was bloody glad this one didn't have a lot of sex scenes. Derek Perkins has a more mature voice and it felt like I was listening to my father reading. It was a little awkward and I nearly skipped listening to them.
Another great story from the Romance Package and I'm keen to step back in time with Margaret Mallory again.
