    About this audiobook

    The fair Lady Julitta has a problem. She is not wealthy. She prizes her virginity. And her liege, whom she despises, is intent on rape.

    Red Adam is the lord of Brentborough castle—young, impetuous, scandalous, a twelfth-century hellraiser. On one of his nights of drunken revelry he abducts Julitta. Though she fends him off, keeping her virginity, he has sullied her honor. Then, to the astonishment of all, he marries her.

    Red Adam’s Lady is a boisterous, bawdy tale of wild adventure, set against the constant dangers of medieval England. It is a story of civil war and border raids, scheming aristocrats and brawling villagers, daring escapes across the moors and thundering descents down steep cliffs to the ocean. Its vivid details give the reader a fascinating and realistic view of life in a medieval castle and village. And the love story in it is an unusual one, since Julitta won’t let Adam get closer than the length of her stiletto. Long out of print though highly acclaimed, Red Adam’s Lady is a true classic of historical fiction along the lines of Anya Seton’s Katherine and Sharon Kay Penman’s Here Be Dragons.

    Foreword by Elizabeth Chadwick.

    • 4/5
      A good historical romance. Red Adam, an ex-mercenary has inherited a castle and "lord"-dom and returned to England. Drunk and unruly he grabs a "wench" who is indeed a noble woman. She repulses his advances and he sees himself as she sees him, w/o honor, and sobers up to claim her as his bride. Julitta rejects him until she begins to see his worth. And of course by this time he has become embattled by other landowners because he is loyal to King Henry II, while his neighbors are supporting the "Young King". But of course, all's well that ends well. A lusty, entertaining saga of star-crossed lovers.
    • 4/5
      Lady Julitta is mistaken for a peasant and is accosted by a drunken "Red" Adam de Lorismond, the new lord of Brentborough. Adam takes Julitta back to his keep bent on rape, but the ever resourceful Julitta knocks him out with a stool and when he's sober Adam marries her to assuage her damaged honor. Julitta is none too thrilled with the match, but sparks soon fly between the two as Julitta's uncle Lord William and his cronies conspire to support young Henry in his plan to oust his father Henry II and rule England instead. Julitta also soon finds her hands full with a castle and mutinous servants allowed to run to ruin by the previous lord of Brentborough (Adam's uncle), a thieving seneschal, invading armies of Scots, a perilous climb down ocean cliffs, a mysterious death or two and more as "Red" Adam and his lady banter their way through it all to find true love in the end. While I very much enjoyed this book, at times it was a bit too busy and fast paced for my tastes. At times I lost track of who was who when characters from the first part of the book returned back to the story and the author didn't provide enough background to refresh my memory, and I got lost more than once until I fell back into the groove. A cast of characters and their various names and titles would have helped quite a bit and enhanced my appreciation of the story. That said, it was a highly enjoyable romp through the 12th century and a very entertaining read. I see from the current selling price the book is quite rare, but if you are lucky as I was to find it at your library it's worth taking the time to check this one out.
    • 4/5
      I thought it was an interesting novel. It was different then other novels I have read. I did find it hard to follow at times and with so many of the characters. Remembering who they exactly were or their names was a struggle. But nonetheless definitely something you should read if you like the whole historical romance thing!
    • 1/5
      I could only get through 30 minutes of this book, and I only made it that long because I was driving.

      The narrator ruins it. She narrates like she’s reading to a class of 3 rd graders. She doesn’t know the difference between a comma and a period, so the pacing is jarring. Even worse, the voices are ridiculous. Like really, really, bad.
