Story
A lass begging to marry him might top the list of "oddest things to happen," but Chief Adam Macquarie is desperate. And no matter how much he hates to do it, he's not above lying to get what he wants. Starting with the fact that he just omitted the truth about the situation back at his home - where there are no women and only a handful of other people. Because he has a secret need for a wife himself, one she won't be too happy about when she finds out.

Publisher's summary
Wed by proxy to a baron old enough to be her grandfather, Lady Anne trudges up the gangway of a galleon that will deliver her into the arms of a tyrant. Crestfallen, she believes her disastrous life cannot get worse - until she awakes to the blasts of cannon fire. Facing certain death, Anne trembles in her stateroom while swords clash and the chilling screams of battle rage on the deck above. When a rugged Highlander kicks in her door, she prays for a swift end.
But Laird Calum MacLeod has a reason for plundering the ship - and it's not a stunning English lass. With no other choice, he takes Anne to his crumbling keep on the isle of Raasay and sends a letter of ransom to her husband. In time, Anne grows to understand MacLeod's plight and finds it increasingly difficult to resist Calum's unsettling charm - until the baron sends a reply agreeing to terms.
Ripped from passion that will be forever seared into their souls, will Anne and Calum risk everything for love?

A VERY ENJOYABLE EASY-GOING HIGHLAND FLING
Anne, now a Baroness, was just a pawn forced into a Proxy marriage to a stranger who's much much older than herself and once on board the Galleon the Flying Swan her whole life was about to change.... in more ways than she ever expected in 1559 England. When Calum, the handsome Scottish Pirate and Laird to his Clan, seized the Flying Swan he got more than the food and plunder he was expecting when he broke down a locked door and came face to face with a beautiful knife wielding highborn English Lady.
A very entertaining listen involving loveable characters, a Hero and Heroine whose doomed attraction and mutual sexual chemistry unfortunately had to be fought every day but it got harder and harder as time went on but the price would be too great if either one gave in to their ever growing mutual desire and lust. With an evil English Baron carrying out the political atrocities on Scottish lands and their people and there's torture, twisted revenge and an inevitable bloody battle between the oppressor and the oppressed.
A word of warning.... this is pure fiction and probably not historically correct and you've got to overlook little errors in the use of word such as duvets!
Worth a credit? A most enjoyable easy-going love story until the last few nail-biting chapters when a Laird's honor was no match for evil blood-lust. However, I thought the Narrator's English accent was way too over the top Upper Class British but all his Scottish characters had brogues that were easily distinguished between each one and the Hero's voice was very sexy. So, YES an entertaining and creditworthy listen.

The Love Scenes Are Terrible! and other problems..
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I've never written a review before, but I feel this has to be said. I am halfway through this book, and I doubt I will be able to finish it.
First, the heroine is not great. She is, at times, really annoying and unbelievable. I couldn't decide if it was how it was written or how it was performed that made her so annoying. There are definitely parts where her dialogue just doesn't ring true and is odd. I have a hard time blaming the reader, because he does a great job with the male characters. But she reminded me of Mrs. Doubtfire at times. It's not great. And some of the things she said made me squirm with embarrassment for her - because they were so unintentionally awkward.
Second, the love aspect of the story just doesn't work. I liked the 2 characters in general (when the heroine wasn't being weird) but there was no relationship developed between them - other than intense lust. I've read many, many romances over the years and I can't remember one so unbelievable. There is a lot of discussion about the characters' "urges," which is really off-putting, and it makes really clear that this is 100 percent a physical interest between them. Nothing happens to make you believe that they have a reason to be in love, except that they like making out. To be honest, that could be the entire basis for the relationship - but it isn't even developed well!
Which brings us to the last problem - the love scenes. Yuck! Sex writing has to be pretty bad before I'm grossed out. But "The bouquet of her sex" does not need to be discussed. Even that could be forgiven (maybe) if it wasn't so awkward and just generally - unsexy! I was squirming in my seat - in a bad way - and pitying the reader for having to read this stuff out loud! How can this be the first book in a series?? It boggles the mind.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The story is good. The execution has some problems.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Woodson?
Paul Woodson does great Scottish male characters. His characterization of this chick as Mrs. Doubtfire was probably due to her dippy way of talking. I can't blame him.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I liked the story. I liked the male main character. All of the characters in the book were fine except the weirdo heroine.

Just Plain Fun Listening
Any additional comments?
The story itself was an excellent one. This is the first book I’ve read from Amy Jarecki. She engaged me from the first few pages. Her choice of words depicting the scene only engrossed me further. I absolutely KNOW when I’m so drawn in, the author has the right of it. She smoothly moves from scene to scene with plenty of action, suspense and with a swoonable alpha hero, keeping me flipping the pages, however I 'read' it by audiobook.
I loved the fact that the Laird Calum MacLeod didn’t want to be a pirate, but to save his clan from starvation he did what he had to do. Wouldn’t we all do that if we were honorable? He was quite an honor-bound man. He would not take a woman not his, even when it was offered him. He was duty-bound to his clan, and would not have them starve the winter. The English had taken MUCH from his Highland neighbors. As far as he was concerned, they needed to stay in England where they belonged.
But with his determination to save his clan he found his destiny, the Lady Anne, Baroness to Lord Walton. Having captured and plundered the Flying Swan, he found the lady within the captain’s cabin.
Lady Anne, even though married by proxy to a baron almost three times her age, and still a virgin, she found herself face to face with the most amazing masculine specimen she had seen in her life. Yes, my friends, she had encountered our alpha hero Laird Calum MacLeod. She was drawn to the Laird as he was to her.
You could say that the Laird was an honorable pirate. He took what he had to and restrained himself when it was only for his own benefit. (What man can do that?) Our fair Lady Anne, saw life a bit differently and here we have the tug of war between what is honorable, what is right, and what is absolutely necessary to keep breathing and living.
This was a wonderfully exciting story and made more so by the excellent narrator Paul Woodson. When a male voice reads dialog for a woman, most are able to carry it well. Paul Woodson, in my opinion, takes it further. Women, not only speak differently than men, but think differently. As Paul was narrating what was going through Anne’s head, he kept me within character, using the cadence of speech that depicts a woman’s thoughts. I was quite impressed. And…completely captivated.
Paul got inside the heads of the main characters with this thrilling tale. He WAS Anne, he WAS the Laird. His voice only enhanced this exiting story as the emotional tone of the characters flowed exquisitely through the telling.
I love connecting with authors and narrators who make a great team in producing an audiobook. Narrator Paul Woodson records, edits, and master audiobooks commissioned by authors and publishers through Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX). He’s been an AEA and SAG actor for almost 20 years, with most of his work in Theater. He studied theater at Boston University’s BFA program with work in classical theater, dialect and vocal training. When he was a lad (love that word) his family lived in England where he did graduate work at Cambridge. I asked Paul how he had such great accents in this reading. His answer was thus:
“Perhaps the immersion at a young age, plus my frequent portrayal of Englishmen and Scotsmen has kept my dialects sharp over the years.”
Here is a wonderful partial list of his accomplishments he shares with us.
http://home.earthlink.net/~mistermoose18/Pages/DramaticResume2014.pdf
He has narrations of 23 books presently on Amazon. If you are a medieval romance historical romance reader, check out his narrations of books from Ceci Giltenan and Lily Baldwin. If any of my author friends need a narrator who speaks French and German among other talents, seek him out.

I love his accent and the way he emphasizes everything he saying. Sometimes I think he's just as excited about what he's reading as a listener is to hear it
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No however it did give me a good feeling.
Any additional comments?
I would read another book written by Amy Jarecki

EH...IT WAS JUST OKAY FOR ME...
The story started out okay...then it started to drag with too much dribble. The narrator wasn't one of my favorites... it was annoying how he waited so long in between chapters. Then the ending was almost cheesey ... It was sort of Gone With the Windish"... not that that isn't a wonderful book, but for today's standards..things have changed. Would I recommend this book...no, I don't think so. Only if you are desperate for a Scottish romance book... sorry!!

Adventure and love story!
I'm not a big romance reader because I don't like it when they're very sappy. This one was low on sap and high on adventure and excitement! The female lead is strong and the story is believable enough. I enjoyed this read. The only negative I can say is that the author should have learned a little bit more about nestling eagles to understand their size and what they're like. As a rehabilitator and zookeeper the description was far-fetched, though the eagle storyline was good.
