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.

Beautiful Love Story

This was a favorite book of mine when I was younger and I never forgot it. It was nice to hear it read to me. A very special and inspiring book.

Highlander enemies find love...

This is the first audiobook in a series by Maya Banks and I found it to be delightfully enjoyable. The heroine is a deaf woman who became deaf after an accident, but her clan think she’s brain damaged. She lets them think that to avoid an arranged marriage to a man she detests. The hero is the Laird of a rival feuding clan. They are ordered by the King to marry, because he wants the feuding to cease. Neither clan is happy about it- that is everyone except Eveline, the heroine. She’s happy and attracted to the man the King says she has to marry. The question then becomes this- how do you get everyone to accept someone who represents decades of hate? Narration was excellent.

Engaging

What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

Her scottish accent was really spot on. Her variation of the voice for the characters, men, women, young, older, all very unique.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

There were enough trials, and issues to keep you interested in the plot, without being overly stressful. I wanted to know would secrets be revealed? How? by whom? What will their reactions be? How can this end with so much having changed? Its a good book! I was very happy to find out there is a whole series to listen to!

Too cheesy

This is my first book by Maya Banks. I can see why so many women like this book. However, it is way to cheesy for me. I usually don't mind cheesy romance novels as long as they are paranormal and sci-fi.

Kirsten Potter is absolutely fantastic, as usual.

Wonderful Love Story

This love story was absolutely beautiful and well narrated. I've read and also own several Maya Banks books, however this series is one of my favorite. This book is my "go to" listen book when I'm cleaning on the weekends, or just relaxing on a quiet night by myself.

great read

really loved this book...it was different and i really couldnt stop listening....not like really stemy but so much more of a deep love story!!

First time listener

This was an awesome read. The story was funny, serious, and had colorful characters. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining read.

Such a tender book!

The characters are well-written and very lovely! the love between the characters is very gratifying, and it's not one of those books where the guy is mean to the girl and then all the sudden changes his mind, their relationship is kind. The narrator is amazing! She does the accents well, and really tells the story in a great way. Definitely worth a read, well I guess I'll listen! LOL.

Sweeping Live Story

This was an amazing story filled the thoughtful details and rich characters. The narration was quite pleasant to listen to. Maya Banks is very clever and I listened to this book twice. I look forward to her next book.
