Summary

A fatally dangerous man...and the woman who stands in the way of all he's ever desired.

Beautiful and ruthless, the elegant assassin Allegreto will stop at nothing to regain his rightful place. And the perfect instrument has just fallen into his hands, in the lovely form of Lady Elena - the long-lost princess of the land he intends to wrest back from his enemies. But she is no mere maiden to be possessed. Even as he forces her to bend to his will, in the heat of desire and fury Elena finds the hidden power in her own soul, a merciless passion and command that will bind her dark lover and bring him to his knees. Her mastery may destroy him…or build an unexpected future from the bitter ashes of his life and dreams.

Medieval Hearts: Conclusion.

Would you listen to Shadowheart again? Why?

I have read this book in paperback form and listened with Audible; I would love to have the time to read it again but I doubt it because I have so many other tomes to listen to and read.

What other book might you compare Shadowheart to, and why?

Laura Kinsale books are in a class of their own but if I was pushed, they remind me of Dorothy Dunnett but on a much smaller scale, simply because she is unsurpassed!

What does Nicholas Boulton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Without Nicholas Boulton, I cannot imagine anyone else who can bring a book to life and add a completely new dimension to this or any other Laura Kinsale book. He is unsurpassed as a narrator. His voice is pure magic!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Sorry! I haven't a clue. I cannot think of this or any other LK book as a film in this day and age as it/they would be mutilated. Please keep something sacred and special for our imagination.

Any additional comments?

I can find no fault at all with any of Laura's books or Mr Boulton's performance.

Nicholas Boulton is a fantastic narrator. The narrator makes such a difference.

Another outstanding collaboration

Laura Kindle never disappoints and every book is different. A wonderful imagination, superb prose and a most talented narrator make this audiobook quite outstanding.
