Publisher's Summary
Alone, with a Highlander, in his castle, on a cold dark night...
(Okay, so it wasn't that cold.)
Jillian MacKay is being conned by a pair of 80-year-old witches. They're convinced she's the perfect sucker to test a prophecy and they're willing to bury her alive to prove it. Once she escapes and finds herself in 15th Century Scotland, she believes her return home depends on a heroic deed - she must rescue a plaid-clad Romeo and Juliet before tragedy can end in tragedy. The monster standing in her way, however, is a handsome Highlander who might just be her own Romeo...a Romeo she must leave behind.
Rather than surrender his secrets, Montgomery Ross would prefer to go down in history as the heartless creature who betrayed one sister and buried the other alive. When he falls in love with the prophesied faery who has come to expose him, he'll have to learn a wee lesson from the star-crossed lovers or suffer the fate to which he once condemned them.

"Great Story! Questionable Narrator!"
I really liked everything about the story and characters. I wanted to like this narrator and give him a chance but it was atrocious. Poor fella. That in no way was a Scots accent and his girl voice was frightfully laughable. He also spoke very quickly and mumbled quite a bit. I had my headphones on the highest they could go and missed several things he said. Otherwise if you can ignore that its great! He gets two stars just because I felt bad for him!

"Shandon loring sounded drunk"
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?no:
I had to really concentrate to her what he was saying because he slurs his words so bad. I kept having to rewind and re listen to figure out what he was saying.
What did you like best about this story?The story flowed well. It was enough of a mystery to keep me interested enough to hear the whole thing. The romantic sections weren't too explicit. I never had to hear the word nipple, manhood, or the phrase "to the core". Which I appreciate greatly.
Would you be willing to try another one of Shandon Loring’s performances?nope
Do you think Going Back for Romeo needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?Sure, as long as the guy reading it isn't drunk.
Any additional comments?Shandon loring could be awesome if he enunciated. When he wasn't doing the super deep voice and slurring he sounded ok.

"Listened twice!"
I cannot explain why it's good...but it's worth a listen. I think I bought it on sale & didn't use a credit...The writing is average, the time traveling plot device is not unique and some of the character motivations don't make sense. But the thing that always gets me into a book is whether I care about the characters. Somehow the author made me interested in these people, and I wanted to know: what's gonna happen next? And sometimes: what just happened? That's partly due to the story itself but mostly due to the narrator's deep, gravelly, mumbly, just-woke-up-so-you-could-make-me-read-this voice. Sounds like he was out all night at a bar, smoking and drinking and maybe belting out some death-metal classics immediately prior to recording this book. I couldn't stand it at first and had to keep playing the same part over. As I listened, I was imagining two stories - the audiobook plot and the story of who this narrator is. He sounds so beleaguered, like he'd rather be doing ANYTHING other than narrating a half-way decent romance novel. But after a while, I not only understood his mumbling...I began to enjoy it. I think I learned a foreign language or something close to it. I wish he would narrate some more... Maybe get some sleep first, though. And I ended up listening twice because (1) I couldn't understand much of it the first time and (2) the story and the characters grew on me. It was simply worth a second listen.

"Not Good!"
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?It might have been a wonderful story but I couldn't understand the man telling the story. I don't think anyone would want to listen to it.
What could L. L. Muir have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Find someone else to read the book.
Would you be willing to try another one of Shandon Loring’s performances?No!
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?The book might have been wonderful. I will never find out. Didn't make it past the first chapter.
