Rhapsody and Rebellion

Once Upon A Widow, Book 3

By: Aubrey Wynne, Enduring Legacy

Narrated by: Kevin Archer

A Scottish legacy...A political rebellion...Two hearts destined to meet...

Raised in his father’s image, the Earl of Stanfeld is practical and disciplined. There are no gray lines interrupting the Gideon’s black and white world. Until his mother has a dream and begs to return to her Highland home.

Alisabeth was betrothed from the cradle. At 17, she marries her best friend and finds happiness if not passion. In less than a year, a political rebellion makes her a widow. The handsome English earl arrives a month later and rouses her desire and a terrible guilt.

Crossing the border into Scotland, Gideon finds his predictable world turned upside down. Folklore, legend, and political unrest intertwine with an unexpected attraction to a feisty Highland beauty. When the earl learns of an English plot to stir the Scots into rebellion, he must choose his country or save the clan and the woman who stirs his soul.

Gideon

Gideon met his match, but he had to convince her of it. I loved Lissie, and felt she was the perfect fit for Gideon, and he worked hard to make her see it too. I enjoyed finding out about the "gift" (visions) in the family line. It added a nice twist to the story. One fire after another to put out- literally and figuratively. but it leads to a hea. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator voice and expressions brought the story to life.

Lizzie and Gideon

After losing her husband Alisabeth is introduced to Gideon [Earl of Stanfeld] who turns out to be her late husbands cousin. There is an immediate spark between the two but, with the recent death of Ian will they be able to get over/through all the odds and be together. Alisabeth so carefree and Gideon is a bit of a stuffy Lord. This book is loaded with drama, humor, action, suspense and some of magic. Reading about the Scottish legends, folklore and traditions from the Highlanders history was amazing!! What happens with/to Gideon and Alisabeth?? Do they over come the odds?? To find out you really need to read this book. I truly loved this book!! Thank you Aubrey Wynne for a very beautifully written story!! Thank you Kevin Archer for the awesome job you did in narrating this book!!

Opposite attracts, so it is written.

He was the son of an English Earl, and a daughter of a Scottish Laird.
She had been his Scottish cousin's wife, before his death in an Edinburgh riot.
He came to Scotland on his mother's vision, used his gift when it was required, to assist the righteous in their quest for legal assistance.
Together they would be unstoppable.

An entertaining historical romance

Rhapsody and Rebellion is an entertaining, historical romance with a bit of mysticism between a highland widow and an English lord with a Scottish mother.

The narrator of the audiobook does a pretty good job, though I found his narration a little bit too stuffy.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Clean

While this is a clean historical romance, it isn't dull. Some of the events are based on real events which I found added to the story. I will definitely try other books from this author and narrator.
