Passion flares between enemies Two hotheaded Highlanders, the offspring of feuding lairds, are tricked by the King's Regent into a desperate choice: marry or die. Bhaic MacPherson is more disposed to lead his clan into battle than stay married to the daughter of his enemy. But perhaps the intensity of his feelings has more to do with desire than hostility. And the Highlands ignite Ailis Robertson wanted a husband, not a savage-but when her family was faced with a deadly ultimatum, she had no choice. The union of a MacPherson and a Robertson could end three generations of hostilities between the two families, but can bitter rivals truly become lovers?
My thoughts:
Huh, so that is how you spell his name! When I listen to audio I just never know, well I know now. So let us start.
Bhaic and Ailis are part of feuding families. You know those highlanders, there is always a feud to be had. They really hate each other, but the country needs peace and they must marry.
Bhaic is a man of honor, she could have done worse. But he does not have a lot of trust over, but hey I get that. The feud has been going on for 3 generations. He tries his best.
Ailis tried to keep it cool, but she does have a spitfire hiding in her. And I did feel so sorry for her because the people of the castle does not want her there. But she never gave up, she was strong. I liked her.
And of course it helps that they do start to fancy each other, but I liked that they took it slow. We got to know them, the castle and the people.
Conclusion:
A nice historical romance with highlanders , and I do love them. I look forward to the next book.

Narration:
Antony Ferguson did a good job. Sure the voices did not always sound all that different, but I did not care cos his voice was pleasant listening too. He kept me entertained and I did like the brogue.
I would def listen to more by him, and I am already doing just that.

ReplyDeleteTotally
DeleteI do love a historical romance and I should read more of them. Great review!
ReplyDeleteThey are so much fun
DeleteI thought this was a fun read too. It had lots of funny moments too which was great. Haha I still don't know how to pronounce his name!
ReplyDeleteDang now I forgot how to!
DeleteWith audio you don't know how to spell the name but with a physical book you don't know how to say it lol
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
LOl, so true!
DeleteI've never read a historical romance with Highlanders. This is so new to me. I've read lots of great reviews for this genre and theme.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Awesome review! I'll check this out and think about it. :)
Whaaat? Never? I am shocked. I love my highlanders
DeleteI read the second book in this series and really liked it. I did not know a male did the narrative in the audiobook
ReplyDeleteI just finished the second book :D
DeleteI tend to check out the physical copy of a book when I'm listening to its audio version just to see how everyone's names are spelled. Haha.
ReplyDeleteThat works ;)
DeleteLOL I know exactly what you mean about spelling! Some of the terms used in fantasy books are impossible to spell if you listen to the audiobook.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! With fantasy I do not have a clue
DeleteI enjoy reading about highlanders. Sounds like a good story.
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome
DeleteI loved this: You know those highlanders, there is always a feud to be had.
ReplyDeleteBecause it's so true! LOL Great review. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. :)
LOL, it sure is true. And that is why I like them
DeleteThe names are weird and I can't imagine how they are pronounced.
ReplyDeleteLOl
DeleteI love audiobooks, but that's a frequent problem I run into where I don't know or can't figure out how to spell the characters' or places' names - it's especially problematic when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSnactum
Those can be impossible on any day
DeleteI always wonder how to spell different words when listening to an audiobook...especially names! This sounds good and I like that you enjoyed the narrator.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are always fighting. I tried to think of a Highland Romance without the Clans either fighting each other, the English or the Vikings and couldn't think of a single one. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh good that the narrator was a good fit.
LOL, yes I can't think of any either
DeleteSounds like it was fun, just looked up reviews on Audible, they mentioned hot and steamy too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so different listening to it but yes as in all his rom, there are smexy times
Deletelol- that's the bad thing about audio, not knowing how to spell unique names.
ReplyDeleteIt can be hard
DeleteI would try it. Love listening to a Highlander romance just for hearing the way the narrator pronounces the words, ha.
ReplyDeleteHehe, it is fun
DeleteI am glad you enjoyed this one. I do read Highlander books but not often as I tend to have a problem with the language at times.
ReplyDeleteI had such a problem back when I started reading them, I was all what does this mean?!
DeleteThat is such an old-skool romance cover! :D
ReplyDeleteAudio covers are never as pretty
DeleteI love a good highlander story too, this sounds good. Love the cover.
ReplyDeleteAck I have this on my blogger shame pile. I'm nervous since I didn't like her pen name. But since you like it I might try it this month :D
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the pen name!
DeleteOf course you are familiar :D You are the audio queen after all
