Sapphire

Daughters of the Dagger Series, Book 2

By: Elizabeth Rose

Narrated by: Stan Chandler

Sapphire is one of four sisters named after the gems in daggers bought by their late mother in regards to a superstition. She has been betrothed to Lord Roe Sexton, a man she's never met. But when she goes to Rye to meet him, she's told he's dead, and she's married off to the evil baron instead. So she sneaks out in disguise not only to get away from her abusive husband, but to find the meaning of true love, stopping at a nearby pub in the process.

Lord Roe Sexton returns from war overseas after being away for over a year. Victorious and celebrating their success, he stops with the soldiers at a pub looking for a drink and a woman for the night. The one he chooses seems to be trying to tell him she's a lady, but he doesn't believe her since she's dressed like a whore.

A mistaken identity turns into a night of passion that neither of them will ever forget. But when Roe returns to his castle the next day to find his lover there and also married, things get very complicated. And when he exposes a ring of smugglers, Sapphire's life is endangered and one wrong move could bring about disastrous results for both of them.

Can a woman who was thrown into an abusive marriage with a man she despises, find love and passion with the man she was truly meant to marry, or will greed and deceit keep them apart? Emotions as well as intrigue are taken to the limit in the second book of the Daughters of the Dagger Series - Sapphire.

Sapphire

This was a lovely romance! I really enjoyed this book. Narrator and author did a great job.

Narrator weird

The narrator uses weird ways to differentiate characters. Some sound like Boris Karlof and some sound falling down drunk slurry. Personally, he irritates me. The story line is predictable but passes the time and is entertaining enough I want to listen to the series, but Audible doesn't have Amethyst's story. Hopefully they'll have it soon, or it will ruin the series for me.

Another gem!

With the exception of the feeling that someone must have just said *poof* - 'love', this was another good book from one of my favorite writer/narrator teams. Medieval romance with headstrong women and handsome protective hunks, some real chemistry, and... well.... *poof* good book!

Sapphire

Sapphire is an exciting story filled with adventure, mystery, betrayal, and suspense. Sapphire, our feisty, outspoken heroine, and Roe, the handsome, brooding hero belong together. In fact, they were betrothed. His failure to communicate with his family while he was away serving the king resulted in the belief that he had died and she was given to a cruel baron for the sake of an alliance. In addition to this problem, he discovers that smugglers are stealing wool from his port. Stopping the smugglers, true love and a happily ever after might lie just beyond the baron’s secrets. I enjoyed Stan Chandler’s narration. His characterizations draw the listener into the story.

I enjoyed the story but the narration took some getting used to. The characters were strong and fun to hear about.
