Publisher's Summary:
A bold, seductive laird meets his passionate match in a scintillating Highland romance from New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands
Sword fighting, swearing, and riding astride come naturally to Saidh Buchanan. Simpering and holding her tongue - definitely not. Raised alongside seven boisterous brothers, Saidh has little interest in saddling herself with a husband...until she glimpses the new Laird MacDonnell bathing naked in the loch. Though she's far from a proper lady, the brawny Highlander makes Saidh feel every inch a woman.
She has an angel's looks, a warrior's temper, and seeks out his kisses with wanton eagerness. Little wonder that Greer is intrigued by his comely guest. When reckless desire overtakes them, he's more than willing to make an honest woman of her. But Saidh is the target of a hidden enemy, and Greer faces the battle of his life to safeguard the woman he wants above all others.
Members Reviews:
This was really good
This wasn't just a romance it was a murder mystery also. This was a really good listen well worth the credit.
Good story and plot
Liked Penelope Nederhorst narration.
Though not her best still Ms Sands did pretty good.
Good story, good plot that kept me jumping from one suspect to the other.
Love how the h was thought to defend herself by all of her brothers. Loved the banter between the H, h and the brothers.
Though a bit long at times it's a good fun listen.
A Bit disappointing
I like this authors blend of humour and strong female characters. However this story seemed rushed. And the characters lacked the depth Ms Sands normally provides.
Can I give more than 5 's please?
I always enjoy Lynsay Sands. However THIS one was exceptional! The characters are so well crafted as individuals that I not only felt as if I know them but it was as if they leapt off the page at me (or out of the earphones as it were). And I rarely get stumped by " whodunit" stories but this one kept me guessing and enjoying it!
Yes this was one incredibly well developed, expertly written, remarkably enjoyable and totally captivating tale!
NARRATOR : Another hit! There is not a single thing to be improved upon in this extremely skilled performance!
CREDITWORTHY ? Oh Yes! Without a doubt! if you want a not typical medieval scottish historical romance full of all the brawny highlanders you could ask for and a HEA, then this is it!
HEAT FACTOR: Ouch! Definitely a scorcher!!
***review edit: third listen and still love it!
idiotic.waste of time
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This was a story that was full of irrelevant details that caused it to be slow moving. I was actually expecting the author to provide details on how to walk..I put my right foot ahead of me , then I put the left foot, then I put the right foot again..etc.
There was the scene on how to have a bath, wash your hair first, then your body, so the water is clean enough to rinse your hair....bathing 101 is not what makes for a romance.
The heroine Sade, is shot with an arrow and there is a discussion regarding what type of arrow she was shot with and the process, pull it out or push it through...yes, this was an actual discussion that took 6 minutes.
This book was a series of sex scenes with filler in between.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Nothing from this author
What aspect of Penelope Nederhorsts performance would you have changed?
Not much.
