His Lady Bride

Brothers in Arms, Book 1

By: Shelley Bradley, Shayla Black

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

He was a legend on the battlefield, but Aric Neville, known throughout England as the White Lion, had had his fill of intrigue and bloodshed. So he threw down his sword and walked away, to live a solitary life, cultivating a reputation as a sorcerer. But his prized tranquility was shattered when the villagers brought him a bride. Gwenyth de Auburd was a raven-haired beauty too impudent to ignore and too tempting to resist. When the war raging around them sucked Aric into his past again, he also fought a losing battle against his undeniable desire for the luscious, willful maiden...only to learn that he had come to cherish her as his wife.

Contains mature themes.

Narrator and story was amazing and fun!

I enjoyed how the author intertwined history into her novel. Her writing and the characters are so relatable and unique. The story flows well and is descriptive as if you are watching a movie play out in your mind.

I have to say the performance by the voice actor made the story even more enjoyable. When I search out the narrator, to see what other stories he has done.

A good story

The story and writing were pretty good. I was actually surprised because this is a new author for me. However, Tim Campbell can make a calculus textbook sound amazing and sexy. 😊

More Please!!

I had no idea that Shayla Black wrote historical romance until I stumbled across this audiobook - I loved it! My only regret is that the rest of this series is not yet on Audible so I am (im)patiently waiting for the continuation :)

This book is set near the end of the War of the Roses and Aric Neville, famed Yorkist warrior and cousin to Queen Anne, has become disillusioned with the constant fighting, politics and bloodshed. Gwenyth is a saucy, beautiful, spoiled and stubborn yet hilarious character who is both irritating and loveable. As I came to understand her character (and her lamentable circumstances brought on by her cruel family) I was charmed by her creative insults, her refusal to be silenced, and her compassionate nature.

Shelley Bradley (a.k.a. Shayla Black) weaves a Phillipa-Gregory-meets-Sylvia-Day tale with skill, humor and sensuality. Tim Campbell is talented as ever in his narration of His Lady Bride. There is some explicit sex in the book but by no means does it take over the story-line. A well-written, sexy, medieval tale of love, politics, war, family, and duty. Keep them coming!!

Female is a bit trite

Not sure I like the female lead. Her thought process was rather simple and her character flat while the rest was well rounded

Great Start to a Series

Shelley Bradley is a new author for me and a nice surprise. I like Aric Neville's character, and you will understand the reason for his choices. However, Gwenyth de Auburd got on my nerves. You learn early on why she has such an attitude, still she is so selfish. I like the development of the story and the surprises along the way. I am looking forward to book 2. Tim Campbell is always great.

Performance.

Great story, and the narrator did a great job, love everything about it since I like historical romance stories ,I definitely recommend this audiobook.

Story sharing

I liked how all three of the male main characters are included from the beginning rather than squirrelling them away until its their turn to tell their story. It makes me want to learn what happens to the other two men even more!

History…

During a time of actual history this author sets this very interesting love story of two people who are forced to marry. A former knight and a former lady are just trying to get the n wording th their lives but are forced to confront some very dangerous plot twists. It is a wonderful story with good narration which keeps you spellbound throughout.

Fun storyline with a smidge of history

Fun listen! Very well told by author! The narrator was great! Can’t wait for the next book!

Unexpectedly good read

All kudos to narrator, but the story itself was good. Was hoping for a different finale
