I enjoyed very much

This was an enjoyable story and it was so nice to read Rothgars story finally! He and Diana had great chemistry. It was fun to see as these two people who had never wanted to get. married, navigated through the situations and emotions that changed that resolve. Susan Duerden did a great job. I really enjoy her narration. There was one very very annoying part of the story and boy howdy did SD relay it well! The King says "What What" wwwaaayyyy tttoooo mmmuucchhh! But the story is worth the annoyance. I suspect it was intended to come across as annoying as it was. Haha

I got this book for the sale price of $2.55 and it definitely was well worth it. I very rarely spend a credit on just one book some saying I wouldn't spend a whole credit on itdoesn't really count. However I totally feel itsworth a 2 for sale.

Great character development

One of my favorites. I enjoy the whole series. Wonderful story and performance. I have listened more than once.

Loved!!

What a great story! One of my favorites in the series. What made it even better was that SD was the narrator. A great listen.
