About this audiobook
All of England rejoiced on her wedding day. But Judith vowed that her husband would get only what he took from her...
At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes and burned with desire for her...but his heart had been pledged to another. Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body, but rejected her love...never admitting her fear of losing him.
But destiny held another fate for Judith...a fate that would keep at last...The Velvet Promise.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5One word: Disappointing. I've read a couple of Jude Deveraux's novels and found them to be entertaining but Velvet Promise just left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.The heroine is the only one, unfortunately, to have some spunk and backbone to her. The hero, on the other hand, is too stupid for words. Not only is he a pain in the arse; he's head is also filled with nothing but rocks and Alice. Even Alice seems to be more tolerable and less aggravating than Gavin. One of the reasons why I rated it so low was because of the rape scene. Maybe it's just me, though I do not think that this has anything to do with being a prude but resorting to rape isn't the way to start a relationship. It's just appalling.I'm sorry to say but this is the one book that I would not recommend.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read the negative reviews on this book but decided to listen anyway since I’m a fan of Jude Deveraux, and I’m sooo glad I did. In my opinion, it’s a very pleasant story w/good characters and a heroine of a saucy spirit. Looking forward to the rest of the Velvet series?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jude Deveroux is one of the great entertainers of historical romance. You really can't go wrong with any of her books. I wish there was a larger selection of her books on audio.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Ugh ... simply ... ugh. There is no excuse for this book.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5No. Just no. Stopped reading right after he raped her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a ridiculous pair. A good, brainless listen. I enjoyed it.
