New York Times best-selling author Garwood's (www.juliegarwood.com) debut novel-originally published in 1985 and available for the first time on audio-is a thinly plotted medieval romance whose protagonist, Elizabeth Montwright, looks to a powerful baron to assist her in avenging her family's murder, teaching the stern young man about affection and joy along the way. Garwood is rather heavy-handed with the foreshadowing, so listeners will generally knows what's coming next. British narrator Anne Flosnik (www.anneflosnik.com) enunciates the consonants in an exaggerated way that emphasizes the highly colored prose. This novel does not translate well to audio; not recommended. [Audio clip available through library.brillianceaudio.-com.-Ed.]-Juleigh Muirhead Clark, Colonial Williamsburg Fdn.
