COMPLETE AND UTTER JOY!

What made the experience of listening to For My Lady's Heart the most enjoyable?

Nicholas Boulton reading Laura Kinsale, what else?

What did you like best about this story?

Unusual, Historical, exciting, romantic and amusing.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Every word of every chapter; it was a complete experience, as always.

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

I always want to listen to Nicholas Boulton speaking Laura Kinsale but, at times, I find myself misering it so that it lasts longer.
I will be listening again, of course.

Any additional comments?

Just another dose of sheer perfection!

Couldn't stop listening!

This is my 4th Laura Kinsale audiobook and ready to get part 2 with my new credit. I love her style of writing and Nicholas Bolton and his amazing narration just makes her books even more appealing. This one was different again to others I've listened to but just as good!

enjoyed it

The first 4 hours were a bit boring. I didn't le Melante the heroine, she was woode an awful person, it's true she had her reasons to be awful, but still I couldn't bring myself to le her. I loved Ruck though. So it took me a while to get into it, especially till I got used to the dialogue in the old English. Then it started picking up a bit. But half way through it got a lot better and the end was brilliant.
The narrator was very very good. I continued it because the narrator was so good, if the narrator wasn't any good I would have stopped, so thank goodness for Nicholas Boulton.

*** Brilliant Narration - Highly Recommended ***

Would you listen to For My Lady's Heart again? Why?

Already listened to this several times - great choice of narrator from Laura Kinsale. Currently my favourite audio book.

On the basis of this audio book alone I've purchased all Laura Kinsale's other audio novels, all performed by Nicholas Boulton, and also looking out for other Nicholas Boulton audio books

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ruck and Melanthe - exactly as I imagined how they should be from reading the book previously. Loved the northern accent and characterisation for Ruck

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The dragon's tale, Ruck and Melanthe’s travels together, the time at Wolfscar, the jousting at Lancaster's court and many, many other great scenes

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were many great moments in the book, too many to name

Any additional comments?

If you have been put off reading this novel because of the perceived difficulties with reading and understanding Middle English, listen to this brilliant audio performance by Nicholas Boulton and you'll wonder why this was ever an issue.

Thankfully this audio version is the original unabridged book (not the edited version where Laura Kinsale amended some of the Middle English).

I am not usually a fan of medieval novels at all but listening to this book has changed my views to be more open minded about them. Very highly recommended.

Ideal escape.

For when you just need to get away from it all! Good story, not too cheesy and a good mix of good guys and bad guys to keep you listening. Narrator was nice and clear and the voices absolutely fine. I intend to download the next one to see what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.

Another brilliant collaboration

Another enthralling story brilliantly narrated.
The mediaeval era is conveyed so clearly and the characters are wonderfully wrought. I loved this book
