About this audiobook
Hannah Howell spins lush, romantic stories that sparkle with intrigue and passion. Now, she gives us her most exciting novel yet: a medieval tale set on the untamed Scottish border, where a man and a woman risk their hearts on the stormy battlefield of love.
As wild as the rugged north country where she was raised, Saxan Honey Todd has sworn to avenge the murder of her twin brother. Recklessly, she gallops across the English countryside in pursuit of the man she believes to be his murderer: Botolf, Earl of Regenford.
As hard and unyielding as the armor he wears in battle, Botolf is irresistibly drawn to the impetuous beauty who has come to wage war with him. Saxan stirs his passion to the point of madness . . . but to love her would be madness indeed.
Now, as a desperate enemy stalks him and the greensward runs with innocent blood, Botolf brings Saxan to his castle . . . as his bride. But Saxan needs more: to fight by Botolf's side and triumph over the danger that surrounds them-as the beloved mistress of his very heart and soul.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The entire book was so good. I know I will listen to the reading of this book again that is how much I like the story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Overall this was a good book, I do feel like the narrator could have been a little better.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am always happy to read one of Hannah Howell's stories. There is always lots of action, adventure and romance. The Todd family may look slight and a little sickly, but they are fierce warriors. Even the women. Honey believes she knows her brother's killer, but when she meets the man, she isn't so sure. Botolf is immediately smitten. They do find they love each other, but they both withhold their true feelings. Will they be able to come together?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I thought I might enjoy a Medieval romance when I requested this one from LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. It failed to keep my interest in spite of a good narrator. The story line contained a bit more graphic portrayals of sexual nature than my comfort level permitted. Saxan set out to avenge her brother's death only to find him still alive. Then she found herself falling in love with the man she believed responsible for her brother's death. The man she dreamed killed her brother looks similar to the Earl, but he was trying to kill the Earl rather than her brother. That's enough of the story without providing spoilers. I'm probably not the best audience for this one. I received it in exchange for an honest review through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great classic Howell read. I adore Saxan. She's strong and forthright, which is great considering the times. Boltof is a good hero for her, though I do think she's the star of the show and he's more a placeholder. Since I read these books for the heroines, I'm ok with that.
The story is a predictable Howell, but it's told in an excellent way. I'm glad I re-read it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Only for You is the first book I have ever read from Hannah Howell. I'd been told different opinions from friends on mine on LT and other places. Some told me that they were boring and predictable, others told me that Howell's books are some of the best. Since I had not yet read any of them, I simply stayed neutral. But after reading Only for You, I have to say I'm leaning more towards the latter. Ms. Howell is now joining my long lists of favorite authors!Since I usually prefer my romances to be leaning more towards romantica/erotica, or at the very last, an 'R' or 'X' rated romance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed Only for You very much. It had everything-- sweet, tender moments, as well as witty ones, steamy ones, as well as a few that make you sit on the edge of your seat. Though I will admit that, yes, I would rather have had the story be a bit more frank on it's love scenes, it was not enough to discourage me from wanting to read more of hers, nor of giving Only for You a high rating. Some say that the story line was "Too predictable and boring", and okay, maybe at times it was, but who cares? It was a great story of love and adventure, and even if you knew that the attempts on both of their lives might come close but never truly kill them, it was a delectable read, one that, when I get the time to go back through my books to re-read them, I will pick up again. In the mean time, I am going to start looking for her other books and read them. Hannah writes a brillant story line, mixing a lush historical setting (Most of her others, I hear, are Scotland, which is my favorite setting!) with a almost suspense like subplot and a budding, but touching romance that gracefully works it's way into full bloom. Along the way are moments where you laugh, moments where you almost cry, and, yes, even a few where you are tempted to grab a fan in order to cool off. The only thing I had a slightly problem with was the hero and heroine's names. Yes, I know that OFY is set in the medivel times, but come on! Saxan and Botolf? I enjoy creativity in characters names, but I found that these two names just didn't quiet do it for me. But even this flaw was one that did not destroy the enjoyment of the story. 4.5/5 STARS! A fabulous historical romance that alternates between making you laugh and pulling on your heart strings, Ms. Hannah Howell has done it again! This one is definitely a keeper!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Since this is the fourth Hannah Howell book I've read, and the third to get only two stars, I have to conclude that Hannah Howell is not the author for me. I found this one boring and predictable.
