Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013

Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her "touched." Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn't speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty -unprepared for the delights to come. Graeme is a rugged warrior with a voice so deep and powerful that his new bride can hear it, and hands and kisses so tender and skilled that he stirs her deepest passions. Graeme is intrigued by the mysterious Eveline, whose silent lips are ripe with temptation and whose bright, intelligent eyes can see into his soul. As intimacy deepens, he learns her secret. But when clan rivalries and dark deeds threaten the wife he has only begun to cherish, the Scottish warrior will move heaven and earth to save the woman who has awakened his heart to the beautiful song of a rare and magical love.

Well worth the credit

What made the experience of listening to Never Seduce a Scot the most enjoyable?

The h/h personalities, communication, and growth of their relationship.

What did you like best about this story?

It wasn't about vampires! It seems like every author these days wants to write paranormal, which I like, but not to excess. The very best thing about this book is it is a true love story where the characters relationship grows with good communication, (which says alot for Maya Banks, as the heroine is deaf).It's not just pages of sex scenes, but love grown, nurtured, and shared. The sub characters were great also.

Have you listened to any of Kirsten Potter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She did a great job with the voices and accents.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Graham, the hero of the story, actually admitted he preffered making love with a woman he actually loved, than just rutting with anyone.

Any additional comments?

I was hesitant to purchase a book by Maya Banks because of some of her past books and their covers which look like it is just mindless erotica, which is fine for those who want that but I look for more in a story. I APPLAUD Maya Banks on this work. It is good to find a story that keeps your attention from the very beginning and doesn't let it go. It is not just about the hero ruining as many women as he can, or two people fighting or having total miscomunication till the end then finally getting together. It is a very well written book, thoughtful, touching, some humor, action and intrigue. I definitely recomend this to those who enjoy a good adventure and historical romance. As I said in the title, it is well worth the credit.

Awesomeness

I very much enjoyed Kristen Potter narrating all of Maya Banks Highlanders and Scotland series. She bought every character alive with love, hatred, and kindness.

Possibly the best audiobook I've ever listened to

I've never read another Maya Banks book that I loved more than this one. The story was incredibly entertaining. Every one of the characters was lovable and endearing. The men were so alpha and awesome. And Evaline was the kind of heroine you fall in love with.

Kirsten Potter is INCREDIBLE. Her Scottish accents were spot on. I'm seriously blown away with how brilliant she was. I have listened to her read a few of JD Tyler's Alpha Pack books, and loved her then too. But in this book, she really shined. I cannot wait to listen to the next book in this series!

Highly enjoyed this book

Good story and good character development. was not bored with reading. easy to listen too and follow.

Touching Romance - Absolutely loved it!

Veers from the standard romance template and brings a story with heart. I was emotionally invested in this story and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great narration by Kirsten Potter. Maya Banks definitely has found her genre with her Highlander novels. Buy this one and listen to it again and again.

Love love love this story.

Loved the story. Narration was superb. I get so attached to Maya's characters I never want to leave the world she creates.

Lovely story, great narrator!

I'm a bit obsessed with the Scottish culture after this and another modern Romance featuring strong Scots as the main characters. This book doesn't disappoint. Prepare to be transported back to previous times, this is a time piece, but worth the listen. Will be listening to the second part for sure.

Great easy listen

This story held my attention the entire time. It’s a good story to listen to.

Another masterpiece from Maya Banks
