About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Romance, 2014

Pursued by her enemies, flattered and courted for her lands, a powerful, devious princess is desperate to reach refuge. Haunted by the shadow of the young assassin set upon her, Princess Melanthe knows that an ice-cold countenance is her only protection. To succumb to love is the greatest danger of all. She can trust only one man amid the lies, the mysterious Green Knight - a true knight who never wavers once he gives his heart; a man who cannot comprehend deceit. But as an impossible love grows between them, betrayal becomes their only future.

In a mesmerizing performance, Nicholas Boulton brings Laura Kinsale's classic medieval romance to vivid life, creating a colorful world and a unique listening experience that is both true to the times and easy to understand.

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!

Couldn't stop listening!

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.

enjoyed it

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.

*** Brilliant Narration - Highly Recommended ***

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.

Ideal escape.
