Publisher's summary

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.

Didn't notice I was orderig abridged...

Any additional comments?

Just wanted to mention that I love Honor's Splendour. I have a copy in paperback and Kindle. I wanted it in audio as well, but didn't notice when I ordered it that it was ABRIDGED. An abridged book may be OK if you have never read the book before, but if you have, it is VERY disappointing. The parts of the book that are left out are ones that I believe add to the story. Ms. Garwood has written a very entertaining book, but I think the abridged version did not do the story credit. I ended up ordering a copy of the unabridged book in audio, and am happy with it. But I learned from this experience that I will never buy an abridged audio book ever again. I rated this 5 stars for the STORY, not the actual product.

Amazing story, terribly narrated...

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

Julie Garwood, 10 stars. Anne Flosnik like this, 0 stars. Julie Garwood and Anne Flosnik (as she read in this book,) combination? Meh! Probably NOT.

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

Man possibly dying of exposure, quiet, abused woman with dignity won't allow him to die, tries to save his feet the only way she could but that left her terribly vulnerable.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anne Flosnik?

Someone with a real accent and less caffeine.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better narrator.

Any additional comments?

I went ahead and purchased this despite my misgivings because I read the story. Anne Flosnik's narration in this book made my want to beg her to give up smoking and let the poor dead animal die already. I believe we all have room for change, but, this narrator just should not be allowed NEAR a classic to kill it the way that she narrates. I love classics, I hated this version. Just as I hated so many other classics that are my favourites that she has killed through neglect in the Audible Library. If you are going to read professionally, make some effort and for goodness' sake LEARN HOW, please.

worst garwood book

The narration is not great but I didn't like any of the characters. If I had read this book first I wouldn't have read any other of her books. Don't waste a credit.

Great story, OK narration

The story was amazing like all Julie Garwood books. But it was a little hard to listen to with the narration. Kind of monotoned.

Excellent reading

Never disappointed in anything Ms. Garwood writes, excited to discover her in audio books as I have all her written books and re-read them!

Disappointing

I had read the book version prior to getting the Audible version. Many parts of the story was omitted I was very disappointed, wasted a credit.

Please re-record all JG books with Rosalyn Landor

The story was good as usual for a Julie Garwood book. Narrator was terrible. All of the voices were done in an angry growl no matter what the tone.

A FAVORITE

This book is one of the best, and the audio version was great! Good narration and the story is one of my all times favorites. Julie Garwood has always been a fantastic writer.

Just okay

Not much story line, a lot of sexual scenes. Warriors in that time period, I don’t believe acted in such a manor. Other novels from this time period were better by far. Therefore, sorry, just not Julie’s best.

old time favorite

this book as been one of my favorites since I started reading Julie Garwood books. it's just as good as an audible production, and I see this becoming a favorite in this format too.
