Enjoyable Listen

Narration - Margo Trueblood, narration was pretty good, production could be improved. There's some duplicate "takes" throughout the production and weird breath sounds, but the narration voice and her character voices are good!

The story was enjoyable! It takes place after the civil war and some bands of misfit soldiers are still wandering about. Ruth hears gun shots while out hunting and finds that one of these groups of men have attacked her home, ransacked, robbed and lit it on fire. She goes after them, gets her families money back, but not without some altercation and now, she's on the run with her sisters and grandma.

They end up in a small mountain town to make a fresh start and the group of beautiful women quickly have the entire town smitten, including the sheriff!

Ruth seems to have disaster upon disaster following her and she's really turned her back on her faith. Sheriff John, makes it his mission to help her find her way back to God.

There are lots of twists and turns, some OMG moments, and a very sweet romance. A very enjoyable listen.

another wonderful christian book

I loved this book. two stubborn people who finally fall in love...the sherriff and the gal who came to town with her grandmother and two younger sisters. grandmother has fallen in love with man her age and they get married after helping the gal and the two sisters.....they had escaped with their lives after marraders killed their parents and burned their house to the ground at civil war time. book has twists and turns as marraders follow them to arkansas to wreak revenge... the gal has a prickley tough exterior while housing a soft heart of pure gold. book has a few other great surprises along with the trials of trying to stay alive. narrator had a lot of breath sounds, but I got used to them as story progressed...all in all I highly recommend this book and can't wait to listen to the next book in series. and yahoo no illicit sex.

Ian Mackenzie is awakened at Kilmorgan Castle one night to find robbers stealing the priceless art collection of his oldest brother, Hart. Since Ian and Beth are the only ones in residence at Kilmorgan at the moment, Ian decides that he must find the art and the culprits before the family shows up for Hart's birthday gathering. With Inspector Fellows and Beth, he investigates, though Ian is somewhat worried by Beth's late husband's brother, a retired missionary, who decides to visit. Does John Ackerley hold the "cure" to Ian's madness? And can Ian discover what has happened to Hart's treasures and who is targeting the Mackenzies before the enemy strikes again?

Members Reviews:

Intriguing Mystery and Lusty Romance!

II love the way Jennifer Ashley intertwines a solid mystery and passionate romance into plush settings. The MacKenzie men are bold, lusty, eccentric, and devoted to their family. (Did I mention lusty?) This story continues the saga of Lord Ian, the youngest brother who suffered greatly as a child at the hands of a cruel father. His inappropriate behavior in social settings would probably be diagnosed as autism today, but in 19th century Europe was viewed as "crazy". I love how his older brothers cared for and protected him, eventually saving his life as a lad. In "A MacKenzie Family Gathering", we get to know more about the evolution of the reclusive Ian, his devoted wife, Beth, and their three "wee ones". Most importantly, we watch Ian discover that his quirky and awkward behavior is nothing about which to be ashamed. In the final analysis, his brilliant oddities and fearless bravery unravel a lethal mystery and save the life of someone very dear.

Angela Dawe is an amazing narrator. She manages to distinguish each voice of the men, women, and children in this growing clan in a way that you know exactly who is speaking and what they are feeling.

Disappointment but I love the characters

I rated this 4 stars overall because it's Ian and Beth!!! I'm not a fan of novellas but I love this family and, of course, I'll read every book about them.

However, this story just seemed off. I'm not sure what it was exactly but it didn't grab me like previous books have. It probably should be a 3-star book if not for the characters. I was a bit disappointed.

Ian is my favorite!

Great story, I just love Ian, and in this book we get to know all the kids a little bit. .m

Title is a bit misleading

I expected the clan all together for this book. Instead it's mostly Ian. I think the main reason I didn't love this novella as much as some of the other books is because I was expecting everyone!

The story is interesting. It teases you into the next book.

If you like Ian and Beth best...you will LOVE this book.

Love Ian and Beth

What made the experience of listening to A Mackenzie Clan Gathering the most enjoyable?

Geting to hear more about my favorite charaters Ian and Beth

Have you listened to any of Angela Dawes other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to the quite a few of the other Highland Pleasures books and enjoyed them all.

Already exasperated at being yanked from the military to meet "family obligations", now Ben must suffer watching his arrogant sibling squire the only woman he has ever loved. Joining the army saved Ben from sinking into bitterness, but seeing Elin again takes him back to the day they surrendered to their intoxicating desire.

As the wedding draws near, Elin tries to push Ben far from her thoughts. When danger brings them together, there is no denying their feelings. But can Elin choose love over duty?

Members Reviews:

You can't go wrong with a Cathy Maxwell book!

Any additional comments?

I always enjoy a Cathy Maxwell book. This one didn't disappoint. I smiled and giggled a several times like I always do. I've given it a 4 star rating due to the inconsistency in the narration. For example, the heroine started with a bit of a Scottish accent, but didn't end with one. Her voice is very pleasant nevertheless. I can't wait to listen to the Duke's story, whose only requirement in a wife is that she be "kissable"!!!

Loved it!

The story is delightful! The conflicts makes it a page turner and I loved every minute I spent with the characters! Bravo!

Publisher's Summary:

Penderleigh Castle is the home of the Robertsons, who have just been dealt a terrible blow. Their new master, already an English duke, has just been named the Scottish Earl of Penderleigh.

Ian Carmichael, Duke of Portmaine, is proud, aristocratic, handsome as the devil's right hand, and kinder than any grousing Robertson has a right to expect. Brandy Robertson - the old earl's granddaughter - takes one look at the duke and her heart goes ballistic. The problem is, the duke is already engaged, and if that isn't bad enough, someone wants to kill him....

Members Reviews:

A rakish duke and a Scottish country girl

Good storyline, interesting characters and yet I found myself still a bit unsatisfied. The story was believable enough since the duke did not fall for the Brandy until later in the story but her issues with her breast size was ridiculous as it continued on throughout almost the book. She felt like she was a cow and it was said enough to make me want to scream. I liked the little twist added to the story at the end and the manner in which her sister finally fell for the right man.

There was a couple of negative points worth pointing out (yes aside from the breast issue). It seems unlikely that the high bred Duke would pick up Scottish slang as he did soon after arriving Scotland. And when the Duke came back for the cousin's wedding, it was not clear why Brandy ran into his arms without at least finding out why he returned especially after the way they left everything last they saw each other. Also the Duke seems to know about a rape attempt and there was no mention of him getting informed of that prior to. The duke also seemed so blasé about it. very weird.

Do I recommend this book? Yes I do. Few books are perfect as written but I found this story entertaining and worth the credit.

Publisher's Summary:

Oliver York returns from war to find his father dead, his finances in arrears, and himself the new Earl of Carlisle. If he doesn't marry an heiress - and fast! - he and his tenants are going to be pitching tents down by the Thames. He definitely shouldn't be trading kisses with a penniless debutante...no matter how captivating she is!

Miss Grace Halton is in England just long enough to satisfy the terms of her dowry. But a marriage of convenience isn't as easy as she'd hoped. Back in America, her ailing mother needs medicine only Grace's dowry can afford. Which means the dashing earl she can't get out of her mind is the one man she can't let into her heart.

Members Reviews:

Great read and listen..

A young woman from America and an Earl, both in dire need of money, meet at a ball while looking for a rich husband and/or wife, only to be attracted to each other, and having Oliver compromise Grace. Grace wanted to get her dowry from her grandparents so she has to marry and then shes hoping her new husband will let her go back to America to get her ill mother. And Oliver needs money to rebuild the Earldom his father flittered away. Yeah, it didnt quite work out for either of them.

This was such a cute story and it was simply amazing how wealthy Oliver and Grace were when all was said and done.

And there was also sex in this story, but it was romantic sex and not erotic.

I was very intrigued with Xavier and his nearly catatonic state in this book so now Im going to read his book.

As to the narrator: Another great example of just how wonderful Stevie Zimmermans narration has become lately. Love her voices and emotional reading. Everyone was English in the story but Grace and Ms. Zimmerman made Grace sound completely American.

Delightful!

This was delightful! A short little bit of fun. Great narration. I'd like it better if it were longer and gave more detail about the secondary characters. But I really enjoy Ms Ridley's work.

Enjoyable

I love historical romances that are set in old England. This one is pleasant to read. The narrator is average.

Very active cupid!

Lovely story, well written and easy to read and listen to with a beautiful ending.

I loved the compassion and determination that was woven into every turn of the pages. This made both of the main characters very lovable.

The grandparents, grandmother in particular was a horrid person and Erica Ridley has such a knack with words that I found granny extremely hateable and loathsome.

Cupid was very active in this story and even though the hero and heroine didn't want to fall in love, they couldn't dodge his arrows.

I loved this story and recommend that you read it.

Loving this series

Any additional comments?

I read book 1 (The Viscount's Christmas Temptation) prior to this one, and I am loving this series so far.

Grace comes to England from Pennsylvania hoping to find a husband, secure her dowry from her grandparents, and use the money to help her sick mother back home. Oliver returns home from war to find he is the new Duke of Carlisle since his father's death, and his household is in disarray. The two take a liking to each other, but their financial situations aren't ideal for marrying each other.

I really enjoyed the development of the main characters' relationship. It felt really quick, but it's also a very short novel.

The illegitimate daughter of an English lord, Sian Jones abandoned her heritage to live in a stalwart coal-mining community in South Wales. Empowered by their cause, she's engaged to be married to the leader of a revolutionary movement that is bracing itself against the tyranny of English mine owners.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful writing frustrating characters

Some times I got so frustrated with the stubbornness of the heroine that I would stop listening to the book to process my irritation! That is my only complaint really. Mary Balogh's writing is always a treat. The character development was solid and constant. It is a great listen or read for anyone that enjoys this genre!

Mary Balogh's best!

A lot of research went into this book. The writing was excellent and the characters well-developed. It's better than most romances. This is my favorite of Mary Balogh's books.

What a fantastic story!

I was completely enthralled from the beginning. I listened to the book almost in one sitting. I love Mary Balogh and gave read many, many of her books but this one is in a class by itself.

Good, but repetitious

It was a good story and I always enjoy her characters, but the love scenes a tad painful and she tends to repeat the same words and phrases over and over again. Rosalyn Landor did a wonderful job of narrating, but I would expect no less. I'd listen to her read the dictionary.

Extremely engaging book.... Very Dark

The book like all of Ms Balough's books tells an absolutely wonderful story that is not so much about romance so much as deep love. Her books are so real and filled with so much emotions. This book isn't any different.

This book seems to be at the edge of the Industrial Revolution and is such darker than some of her other books. The ending is not a guarantee HEA. After reading this book be prepared find something a little lighter.

Publisher's Summary:

Lady Patrina Tidemore gave up on the ridiculous notion of true love after having her heart shattered and her trust destroyed by a black-hearted cad. Used as a pawn in a game of revenge against her brother, Patrina returns to London from a failed elopement with a tattered reputation and little hope for a respectable match. The only peace she finds is in her solitude on the cold winter days at Hyde Park. And even that is yanked from her by two little hellions who just happen to have a devastatingly handsome, but coldly aloof father, the Marquess of Beaufort. Something about the lord stirs the dreams she'd once carried for an honorable gentleman's love.

Weston Aldridge, the Fourth Marquess of Beaufort was deceived and betrayed by his late wife. In her faithlessness, he's come to view women as self-serving, indulgent creatures. Except, after a series of chance encounters with Patrina, he comes to appreciate how uniquely different she is than all women he's ever known.

At the Christmastide season, a time of hope and new beginnings, Patrina and Weston, unexpectedly learn true love in one another. However, as Patrina's scandalous past threatens their future and the happiness of his children, they are both left to determine if love is enough.

Members Reviews:

Love This Marquess Always

I can't believe I didn't review this before. I love this book esp the audible version. It's my go to book to listen to when I want something to make me smile, laugh, sigh, & fall in love. You will love this book & audio. Tim Campbell is amazing and Christi Caldwell is my favorite author.

Too slow and repetitive

I don't mind a slow book as long as the details are interesting. Unfortunately, the author repeated the same points too many times. I, however, very much appreciated that the author has a good vocabulary and the book was well written.

Really 2 1/2 star read and 3 star narration..

Ive read CCs book My Lady of Deception and gave it 3 stars, and Ive read For Love of the Duke and gave it 4. This one is somewhere in-between. It was a little better than OK for me.

First of all Weston was described as handsome, then several times as beautiful, while she was said described as having a diminutive frame and nondescript plainness. Really? Another story where the author expects readers to believe that a beautiful marquess is going to fall for some plain, nondescript female? Beautiful hero, plain girl. Beautiful hero, plump girl, beautiful hero, unattractive girl. Thats not going to happen. If the girl in plain, plump or unattractive then make the hero that way to, at least that would be believable.

Anyway, it would take a lot for me to read CC again, because I wouldnt know what to expect.

Also, this was soooo dramatic. So much crap about her elopement and how it ruined her reputation, about how she would never be asked for her hand because of it and how she could never marry the marquess because it would ruin his childrens chances of ever making a good match. Good grief, Charlotte was only 7. Like anyone would remember anything about Patrinas reputation when Charlotte grew up and was ready to marry.

Anyway, there was no sex or swearing in this book but there was desire.

As to the narration: Tim Campbell did an all right job. His male and female voices were great but he didnt read with any emotion at all. He never laughed, yelled, whispered, nothing.

The Highlander's Curse

The Highlander's Curse is the second book of The True Love Brides collection. This one, though excellent writing, wasn't exactly my favorite, probably because the premise was not at at all what I expected. It showed great creativity and imagination. I read the book, and of course bought the accompanying audio book as I've come to adore Saskia Maarleveld's narration abilities. She is excellent at making the characters seem to actually come to life and hold our interest throughout the entire book. The sex and violence were not even close to being over the top, in my opinion. I must say, neither Claire Delacroix or Saskia Maarleveld, ever seem to leave me disappointed. If you enjoy highland love stories that continually build one upon the other, allowing for a carry over of the characters from the various stories, you should enjoy this book along with all the others... each having its own individual twist. I would have no problem what so ever recommending this book or audio version of the book.

A Story Well Told in an Amazing World

Any additional comments?

This author takes you back to the times of Fae, curses, and where those of honor do the right thing. Where not all is resolved as you finish the last page, she will leave you smiling eager to pick up the next in the series.

Annelise is much like many a young girl shy with a desperate wish not to be so. Since Kinfairlie and Ravensmuir are magical lands where the Fae abound, so it is, there is a natural spring in the glade where village folk come to pray for healing. It is also a place many a young maiden pray for their dearest desire, placing a ribbon soaked in the spring on a bush whose limbs grow over the spring. Annelise wished for boldness, a husband and both very soon. She knew herself to be so shy she couldnt possibly entertain a young mans interest.

Author Claire Delacroix introduces Garrett MacLachlan into the tale, on the trail of a cunning wolf hes been tracking for weeks. Reaching the natural spring, the wolf is drawn to the water for it has a thirst it must quench. However, seeing the young woman, Annelise, it changes its mind, a morsel to eat was more in demand. Garret sees the way of things when he reaches the spring, killing the wolf directly. Strong this man might be, as gorgeous a man there would be, but, sadly, he cannot be among men. His curse is strong and he is better living aloneexcept when he meets Annelise he finds some peace.

Can a clash of wills...

When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro "Bear" MacLawry isn't sure what impresses him more - the girl's sure aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the Highlands with her half sister to escape an unwanted wedding and wants no part of him or any man. But he can't abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued wildcat now that he's discovered her - not when she fits so perfectly in his arms.

Lead to a love for all time?

Munro has more than earned his nickname: He's a well-muscled, well-favored mountain of a man with an engaging bad-boy grin and a string of well-satisfied lasses behind him. Bringing Catriona food, blankets, candles, everything she needs to survive a winter in an abandoned abbey, Munro is an unexpected gift in her reckless bid for freedom - and an unexpected complication. Clan MacDonald has plans for her, and they don't include her falling for a MacLawry. But this man makes her feel like a woman - and he may be her one chance to live a life about which she's only dared dream.

Members Reviews:

Narration terrific !

I have not read the other stories in this series but the author did a good job of filling in any blanks that were pertinent to this story regarding the family. Only thing I would say against it was that it was probably too long, too much repeating the same dilemma the characters were facing without just getting on with the solution.

I really enjoyed the narrator! She did an excellent job with the accent and voice changes for both the male and female characters.

Overall it was entertaining, I would read another of her books.

Excellent over the top and wonderful!

Would you consider the audio edition of Some Like It Scot to be better than the print version?

I doubt reading it in print could have given me the same experience.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cat and Bear. I love Bear and his loud voice and brashness. He is the strongest character I have ever experienced in any book. He has wonderful values, and caring at the same time and extremely stubborn. Cat is strong willed, caring, and independent...love her too. If ever there were a male and a female meant for each other, it is these two. Spoiler alert: Even after finishing the book, I can well imagine in my mind their lives together on and on through their lives.

Have you listened to any of Flora MacDonalds other performances before? How does this one compare?

Her performance was spot on. Her men sounded like men and the women were definitely females. I can only wonder if her throat got sore with the fabulous voice she gave to Bear. She is definitely high on my list of favorite narrators especially for being able to do a man's voice that definitely was very masculine and sexy. Wish I could give her extra stars.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The whole book was great from start to finish. Tension, excitement, laughed & cried. I even enjoyed the fight scenes and that is a first for me. I was so into the book that I wanted to engage in their conversations to push them in the right direction. But they went in the right direction even without my help.

Any additional comments?

This story raises the bar for what a man should be like with a woman.
