Honor's Splendour

By: Julie Garwood

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

In the feuding English court, gentle Lady Madelyne suffered the cruel whims of her ruthless brother, Baron Louddon. Then, in vengeance for a bitter crime, Baron Duncan of Wexton — the Wolf — unleashed his warriors against Louddon's domain. Exquisite Madelyne was the prize he captured...but when he gazed upon the proud beauty, he pledged to protect her with his life. In his rough-hewn castle, Duncan proved true to his honor. But when at last their noble passion conquered them both, she surrendered with all her soul. Now, for love, Madelyne would stand fast...as bravely as her Lord, the powerful Wolf who fought for Honor's Splendour.

Love Julie Garwood and this story, However

Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Anne Flosnik?

I will read and listen to any book Julie Garwood writes however, I do not like to listen to Anne Flosnik as it seems her words are ponderous and weighty vs light where they need to be. She has a nasal tone which I am sure is to convey the period and accents for the language but I think if she would loosen up some and pick up the speed in places the book would be a better listen. Do not base this author solely on the narrator. Try her other books done by other narrators.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Honor's Splendour?

The moment where the Wolf discovered how brave and selfless his prize was. The confusion he felt in direct proportion to how he viewed himself as the one in charge at all times.

What didn’t you like about Anne Flosnik’s performance?

Once again, Anne Flosnik needs to adjust her tone and speed as she drags the novel down in places and as I have read this book multiple times in hardback and paperback as one of my favorite authors, it bothers me more than it may others. When I read it in print there are places where I chuckle aloud, places where I wait with baited breath for the time to turn the page, and where I am proud to be female. That is the tone of Julie Garwood books. I will read other books that Julie Garwood writes with her narrating them, but I prefer not to.

Do you think Honor's Splendour needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I think all of Julie Garwood's books need a follow-up as there are so many other characters who have rich story lines waiting to be told and her signature style would convey itself well to that. I often want more than the last paragraph and would like to see the story 3 generations forward or in modern day tied into the heritage of their ancestors.

Any additional comments?

Would love the system to message us when we have certain authors who have new books come out or are pending so we can pre-order them. Love the new pre-order program where the book auto-downloads upon availability.

I kind of enjoyed that it wasn't extremely long. great book I was used to listening to suspense thrillers and just thought of a book that I used to read in high school and I'm happy I look this one up

Excellent
