Publisher Description
Lady Meleri Weatherby is desperate to escape the unthinkable: marriage to a man she does not love, a man she knows to be unspeakably cruel. In a bold move, she breaks off her betrothal to Lord Philip and flees her home in Northumberland, vowing to marry the first man she meets, never considering the consequences of such a show of independence.
Robert Douglas has been dealt an equally dark hand by fate: the proud Scot must take an English bride or lose his ancestral home and noble name. It seems an impossible situation, until destiny puts him in the path of a strong-minded English lass with a will to survive that equals his own.
Marriage is an ideal salvation for both. Meleri will be safe from her vengeful fiance in Beloyn Castle with the Douglas clan, and Robert will be able to keep all he holds dear. But neither has bargained on a heartless man who will go to any lengths to seek revenge, the tenacity of a stubborn ghost, and the most powerful force of all: love.
Customer Reviews
Bride of Black Douglas
I felt like the author tried to cover too much ground in too few words. The back-story and character backgrounds were very long and involved, while the plot and love story seemed to skip ahead in leaps and bounds. It is a short story that read like an abridged version of a longer one, but was entertaining for all of its brevity.
To story... Unabridge?
This story was very good. But the book could have been 10 hours unabridged, it left so many questions. I looked to see if there was a book2!?!?!
Not particularly remarkable
Perhaps I expected too much from this short audiobook. I guess that it was just too predictable for me. I do have to say that she narrated it quite well... The story and characters were just not developed enough for me to empathize with them at all.
