Stormswept

By: Sabrina Jeffries

Narrated by: Carmen Rose

The first wedding night that Lady Juliana St. Albans spent with the dark and daring Rhys Vaughan was intoxicating, the heady culmination of her new husband's driving hunger and her own awakened sensuality. When he mysteriously disappeared the next morning, she waited for him in hope and desperation. And when he was finally proclaimed dead in a shipwreck, she bitterly mourned the loss of her love.

The second wedding night that Juliana spent with Rhys Vaughan was six years later, after he returned to claim her just as she was about to wed another. This Rhys was different - bolder, harder, and convinced that she'd betrayed him. Only their blazing passion remains from their years apart. But is it enough to light their way through the maze of mystery, menace, and mistrust - to the love they once shared and would have to find again?

Critic reviews

"A fast-paced historical romance that not only delivers all the boldly sensual passion Jeffries' readers have come to expect, but also makes wonderful use of its refreshingly different Welsh setting." ( Booklist)

Kinda Irritating

The narrator did not always change her tone or inflection of characters voices so the listener had to rewind in order to understand numerous conversations. The male Welsh accent was laughably bad!! The lead male was schooled in London-so it could have been plausible that he had an English voice!! Flimsy story at times and darn irritating how the author felt it necessary to have the lead lady “lose her ability at speech” when her pompous, arrogant and stupid man was near her. Kinda dumb story that had the real potential at the beginning, of being a great story. Totally fizzled!! Boo!

Excellent

I enjoyed the story and the characters, sure I wanted to smack georgianna when she left a note, but a good story will make you feel your emotions. Narration was excellent, she always does a fantastic job with any book I’ve heard her narrate. Sabrina keep up the great work.

Wasn't as well written or read as previous novels

Would you try another book from Sabrina Jeffries and/or Carmen Rose?

Yes but not read by Carmen Rose

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The reading was not in sync with the story.

Did Stormswept inspire you to do anything?

No

Wonderful

This story was unique and full of plot twists. I found myself invested in the characters and their story by the end of the prologue. Exceptionally well written and absolutely enjoyable.

Swept Away

Great story! It reminded me a bit in premise of Twice-Loved by LaVyrle Spencer, but better. This is an enchanting tale filled with love, heartbreak, forced separation, second chances, forgiveness, and eventually trust. Carmen Rose was a perfect fit for the narration - I adored her Welsh accent and all the poetry recitings.
