Phenomenal Story

I just love Amanda Quick. She does a great job bringing strong women characters to life in her historical novels. Well done!

Spectacular romance

This is definitely not your garden variety medieval romance. The characters are unique and charming, but not without their false. Both major characters are ones with whom you can identify, even though they are from the middle ages. And even though the story takes a place “once upon a time, long, long ago” the problems are not solved by miracles or superheroes.

The reader is one of my new favorites. She has amazing vocal variety. You can clearly hear her when she does a stage whisper, as when she uses loud volume, but never screeches. She does male voices as well as female. I am highly impressed with her and plan to search out other audible stories with her as the narrator. 

For me this was like visiting an old friend!

For me the narrator was excellent, she move the story along. She is a delight to listen to!
In my opinion Amanda Quik's classic stories are her best work; although I find her current works nice I love her classic stories.

Shades of "The Princess Bride"!

I enjoyed this bit of entertaining fluff. Early Amanda Quick when still light and fun. Barbara Rosenblat's performance makes this completely enjoyable, sincere yet with a tiny touch of juicy camp.

Second favorite book

Another story I never tire of hearing. The performance was good, and I cannot wait to listen to it again!
