For us long time author's fans, we have awaited this wonderful classic to be read by the great Gabra Zackman, AKA Isabelle Gordon (erotica). This was written back when today's woman maybe offended, so check the original published date before making a judgement on this marvelous classic historical novel. What made the experience of listening to Velvet Promise the most enjoyable? 'A Classic 1980's Historical At It's Best' This is a story about manipulation, rape, sexist jerks, and gore. But I fear what I would find in a book she wrote for him with this sort of 'cast' around him. The ONLY redeeming thing about this book was it made me LOVE Raine Montgomery. The heroine, for all her 'brains and passion' she was a limp damned noodle to this moron of a male. Basically, everything about the 'hero' or 'main male' character. There was so much I HATED about this book. What could Jude Deveraux have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? As for Jude Deveraux, I remember enjoying her romances when I first started reading them. I don't blame the narrator for the utter lack of this book. I would listen to another book read by Gabra Zackman, sure. Would you try another book from Jude Deveraux and/or Gabra Zackman? I just downloaded the next book in the series so I can start it, and I have 2 books in my library that I was going to read before I continued the series. This is a book that I wanted to listen to all in one sitting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Gabra Zackman's performance was one of the best. I have listened to many wonderful audiobooks.

What does Gabra Zackman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I did not feel like the next books were being 'set up'. A reader is allowed a glimps of them that does not interfere with the main story. The brothers were introduced well in this book. I honestly think that a narrator can ruin a great story.

I was excited to see it come into Audible's library. The audio edition of Velvet Promise is better than the print version. Would you consider the audio edition of Velvet Promise to be better than the print version?
