Story5 out of 5 stars 126
It is no act of love that Regan experiences the night she takes her sister's place in the marriage bed, a counterfeit bride to sate the lust of her twin's new husband. Come morning, her sister, carrying another man's child, resumes her place, and Regan is spirited away to a nunnery. But a more exotic fate awaits the fiery Celtic beauty: Regan is sold to a slave trader. It will be her destiny to come under the tutelage of Karim al Malina, master of the erotic arts, who will mold Regan - now renamed Zaynab, the beautiful one - into a love slave fit for a Moorish king.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 201
Adair Radcliffe is only a child when her family perishes in the War of the Roses, so her real father, the womanizing King Edward IV, takes her in, honoring his promise to her mother. Once Adair turns 16, the king marries her off without her knowledge - and to her later outrage - in a wedding by proxy. But when tragedy leaves her a widow twice over, Adair realizes that her already tenuous social position has sunk even lower. Now, all she can do is hope that the Scottish laird to whom she is sold will have mercy on her. But little does master or servant suspect that love knows no rank.

Slowly, he wins her trust and her heart, and she accompanies him on the Crusades to North Africa. But when Edward falls ill, Rhonwyn boldly leads his troops, only to become a captive of the sensual Emir of Cinnebar, a man who will teach her the ways of erotic love.

Adair Radcliffe is only a child when her family perishes in the War of the Roses, so her real father, the womanizing King Edward IV, takes her in, honoring his promise to her mother. Once Adair turns 16, the king marries her off without her knowledge - and to her later outrage - in a wedding by proxy. But when tragedy leaves her a widow twice over, Adair realizes that her already tenuous social position has sunk even lower. Now, all she can do is hope that the Scottish laird to whom she is sold will have mercy on her. But little does master or servant suspect that love knows no rank.

It was a nice book. To see how someone’s life can change so drastically was eye opening. To see how ancient cultures were in history was different from cultures of today.

A story you can sink your teeth into…
The lush settings, the melt-you-to-the-core passion, the wonderful fleshed-out characters, and the historical events in the background kept me engaged and up all night to finish.
🎙️ Narration was good. I recommend listening to ALL of her books at 1.7+ speed!

My Favorites
1. The O’Malley saga | The ultimate family saga of female powerhouses and the men they bring to their knees.
2. World of Hetar series | The “Throne of Glass” of bodice rippers!
3. Beloved | A historical feast.
4. A Moment in Time | A breathtaking love that is an echo in time. Emotional and unputdownable.
5. The Love Slave | A sensual historical hot-for-teacher romance.

Simply can't get into it.
The performance was ehh. and the story lane made me feel as if it was dragging. 4hrs in and there was finally a little action. To me it was just too wordy and I found that the lead was too annoying. Overall not great.
