"Very different hero"
I truly enjoyed the different take on the hero. He is far from perfect which makes him perfect. He comes off as rude and insane but probably has high functioning autism. The characters were very well developed throughout the book. As the book went on there was always more to be added to already likable characters. I did want to kill the duke a few times but at the end of the book I could see being interested in his own book.
The bad guy is pretty easy to figure out with the clues given, but that still didn't detract from wanting to finish it. Narration was spot on. Even though there is a female narrator she didn't make the men sound like McGruff the Crime dog or coping with a bad case of COPD combined with a fatal case of TB. She could keep the attention of a dozen two year old's on sugar highs.
"WOW. Fantastic Storyline - Incredible performance"
This is a delightful story regarding a woman with real life experience and a Scottish lord who has a socially-functional level of autism. Their interactions and the paranoia of the Victorian society around them is interesting and believable. Angela Dawe does a wonderful job with the accents and expressing the tension between the antagonistic detective and Lord Ian as well as the Lady who finds herself in love with the troubled Lord and targetted by an obsessed Scotland Yard detective who seeks to destroy the Mackenzie family. A startling ending, too.
A wonderful story, well-told!
"The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie:"
This book was great. I enjoyed it immensely
It was a great love story. People who are different deserves to have someone to love them unconditionally .

"Angela Dawe did a great job on this book."
Story was really good. Didn't see the end coming. Was over before I knew it!!
"Enjoyable Listen"
Romantic historical fiction
Ian Mackenzie
Loved the accents.
Really becamed involved with characters. Hope there is another in this series.
"Good mystery"
Good mystery with a surprise ending. I thought I had a handle on the culprit but was completely wrong.
"Great Story! Great Narrator!"
Have read paranormal books of Jennifers, so when I saw this I had to give it a go. AND LOVED IT!! The author did a wonderful job on the story and the narrator did a fantastic job on the voices. Recommend this to every romance lover :)
Love to read!
"Worth a listen!"
I won't give this a raving review, but it was definitely a decent book. The story line moved along and kept me interested. The characters were unique and had interesting backgrounds. I'm not too fond of the asylum/mental illness aspect of it, but it didn't necessarily detract. I might actually listen to the next book in the series (depending on which character it involves).
Avid reader and Audio books listener
"Amazing story, beautifully told"
I loved how the author was able to make a reader feel and understand Ian.
Ian, the way he looked at the world and handled it, no to mention he was very passionate
I like it all
The way Ian told Hart to let her be and that she was a MacKenize
This is a great series, a must read.. but this is my favorite
I"m a audible addict. My eyes have gotten really bad so I really hadn't read much in the last 10 years until I discoverd books on CD and Audible. Now I'm a fiend. Other than audio books I enjoy my family, work and dabbling on the computer.
"Loved the Mackenzies from book 1"
Fascinating men and the women they love. Each book is very different and I've been through the 4 that are available. Book 1 with Ian was very different considering his mental state. A beautiful Story.. Book 2 with Mac the artistic Mackenzie. Book 3 with Cam the horse lover of the family and Book 4 with Hart the oldest and leader of the family. Each book was a wonderful story on it's own..but I love how the series entertwines the family members and they are active in each book. I think my favorites are book 1 and book 4.. but I loved them all. Can't wait for the next three to come.. especially The Other Mackenzie..
