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...

The first book I fell in love with

If you are a fan of historical romance Julie Garwood is one of my favorite authors in the genre. This book is the first book I ever fell in love with and have several copies. I love the story and how there is great characters. The story is so well told that you will feel as if you have made good friends when you finish this book.

Very exciting....

This is my first time listening to an audio book version of a romance novel. It was definitely worth the extra cost. I could listen to the novel and was so entertained by the performances of the narrator - that I often found it hard to leave my car once I had reached my destination. I love Julie Garwood books but I haven't had time to read them lately - this was an excellent alternative. PS: This was also a great story - all the usual suspects with twists and turns. I found myself smiling at the end of the story - while wishfully wanting to know more about the future of the Kincaid clan.

A charming book!

Enjoyed the storyline, the characters and the laughter, which was pleasantly unexpected! This is my first book by Julie Garwood and I picked it because it was narrated by one of my favorite person, Rosalyn Landor. What a wonderful surprise to find that I have now a new author to explore, Julie Garwood!!!

Cute Story

Cute story. The flow was a bit forced at times, but still good. The originality was appreciated with so much of the same out there. Several love-making scenes that were tastefully done. Worth a credit! 👍

Heartwarming & full of laughter.

Such a well-written story. It encompasses all you could want in a romance. The quirkiness of the characters adds to the enjoyment. As always, Rosalyn Landor is an amazing narrator.

Love the book

Love the book. Love the author. Hate the narrator. Hope never to hear another story by her ever again. Her voice is jarring.
