Publisher's summary

An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison - a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.

Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against - an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...

My favorite author, book and narrator all in this one book.

I cannot say enough about this author and her books. She is just so talented and just keeps you so involved in the story it is very hard to pull away. But, with that being said though this is my all time favorite book of hers. I laughed, cried, got angry loved my heroine and ended up loving her husband that she had no idea she was going to marry him. It is a must read in my opinion for any woman.

Once again Julie Garwoood came up with an incredible cast of characters you fall in love with from the beginning, a super plot, and, perfect balance of action and dialog and sensuous desire that scores perfect 5 stars in all areas. Buy, don't rent. Definite re-read!

This is one of my favorite books.

This is one of my favorite books, so being able to actually listen to it rather than read it means a lot. The narrator is amazing, and brings life to the characters.

The best audio narration I've ever heard.

Fun story with a strong heroine! The narration, though, is the gem of this offering. Wow!

A Highland Treat

Garwood weaves an arresting (meaning; difficult to put down)story of life, customs, conflicts, survival and characters that you wind up caring about all sprinkled with delightful subtle humour and lusty romance.. wouldn't miss a thing Garwood wrote ❗️❗️

The Bride

A very entertaining listen/read. Read a hardcopy of the audio several years ago. Good read then and a good listen now.
