Publisher's summary

Sean O'Neil was once everything to Eleanor de Warenne - but since he disappeared from his ancestral home, there has been no word, and even Eleanor has abandoned hope, promising her hand to another. Then, just days before her wedding, Sean reappears…but the boy who was once her protector is now a stranger, hardened by prison and on the run.

Weary and haunted, Sean is shocked to find that little Elle has become the beautiful, desirable Eleanor. Though he refuses to endanger her by pressing his claim, his resolve to stay away is sorely tested by the determination of a woman who will not be forsaken again. And when, in a moment's passion, Sean steals another man's bride, it is Eleanor who has the power to steal his heart….

Too many technical glitches.

If you could sum up The Stolen Bride in three words, what would they be?

Repeated recording glitches

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator did a good job, but a phrase or sentence repeated itself about ever 15 to 20 minutes.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I couldn't listen for more than a half hour at a time. I have been listening off an on for the last three days.

Any additional comments?

This will be the first book that I will use the option to return it. The repeated phrases were too distracting to enjoy as I have all the other Brenda Joyce.

Brenda Joyce is still my favorite author but…

The first book I heard on audible with the brother Rex is still my favorite! “The perfect bride” lives in my mind rent free. I obviously stumbled across it, that’s why I have been listening to the books out of order this has been the second book I have read with the brother Sean and his stepsister Eleanor.

To be honest one thing I have loved from Brenda Joyce was the slow burn to the love scene and has always been well executed in my opinion. Not crude or anticlimactic. BUT that is not the case in this book. I think this has been my least favorite book.

I also did not like the narrators, Irish voices. I felt, sorry to say but poorly executed. The regular narrator voice was fine. It was just when she spoke as Eleanor or Sean that she made me cringe 😬 and they sounded too whiny.

up and down

To much talking. I found it easy to put down but easy to pick up again. It dragged in a lot of places. I found the voice for L irritating, other then that the narrator did a good job. The story was good enough so this should have been a great book. I found both the hero and heroine whiney. TOO BAD.
