Captured by the Highlander: Highlander Series #1

Narrator:

I often base my audible choices on listener comments.

I'm happy I decided to IGNORE the one person who said they disliked the narrator. (See Claimed by the Highlander: Highlander Series #2 reviews, same narrator)

I've heard bad narrators, and Antony Ferguson IS NOT a bad narrator! I suggest that people should make their own decision based on the excerpt that can heard in the book sample, and not base their decision on what one person wrote in a review. (This suggestion is for me as well as everyone else) And I'd like to see that reviewer, from Texas, who probably has a Southern drawl, try to narrate a whole novel with different accents from Scotland and England!

Story:
Well thought-out story. Really had a hard time putting down my earphones with this one. I didn't give it five stars because, for me, the story has to be exceptional to receive that mark. That said, it was totally worth my credit! And hot!

I was sceptical at first but the author takes you on a journey and you find yourself wanting to come along. No vapid and timid female characters here, she gives real depth and feeling to every character and causes you to love or hate them. This is the first book in this series and I enjoyed it so much that I bought the next book to read.

At first I thought, (groan) male narrator, but I loved it. His rich voice was wonderful to listen to. His Scottish accent needs work but he gives his characters thief own persona and draws you into the plot. I would like to hear him read more romance books.

This series is as good if not better than Monica McCarty's trilogies.
Full of romance, adventure, peril and suspense, I really was impressed with MacLean's writing.
I only wish there had been more scenes to enjoy the couple in love.

Perfect narration by Antony Ferguson!

I will be looking for more books by this author. Her work is different. The book has many unexpected twist and turns. The love scenes are pertty exciting. The heroine is intelligent and brave. I fell in love with her Highlander. Definetely an epitomy of a man. I would have preferred a different narrator, but he did an OK work. I would recommend this book to aby person that enjoys Highlander's Romance.

The female character was pathetic with unrealistic expectations and demands for her love to be only a gentleman and disregard the warrior side of his persona. It was a bit of an irritating read with weak character development and an unbelievable attraction between the characters. This book is for anyone that wants to read about a man who will change for a woman he met one week prior, rather than being a strong character that is honorable and the smart sassy female recognizes his worth and loves him.

No, but I won't be purchasing another book by this author.

Narration was good.

The Heroine, and replace her with a stronger and smarter character that will not only give her love when her conditions are met. The hero also needs to be reworked.

If you enjoyed books by Elizabeth Lowell, Monica McCarty, Julie Garwood, or Judith McNaught then you probably won't like this book. As I enjoyed many books by those authors and their characters.

My first Julianne MacLean listen. Not my first Antony Ferguson, of course. I loved the narrator. I think Antony does better than most with the female parts.
The story I loved. It was meaty and involved. Better than the majority of romance stories. After awhile some tend to go down the same path. I loved that there was so much texture to this one. Amelia makes Duncan re-think what he feels he's always known. He isn't at all the way he always believed. I know that was a big circle but I hate to be a spoiler.
I enjoyed this as much as I have any. I do hope the series continues to be as riveting as this one.
Go on... use that credit!!

First off, I should of never heard Carrington McDuffe's take on the Scottish brogue. Her's sounds like it could be natural. This reader's is more forced. As far as the story goes, I liked it. What I did not like is when the couple does start to have feelings for each other there is no tenderness from him. I get the fact that he's a highlander and will be brusk most of the time. However, even when they were alone there was no tenderness from him. Will I continue with the series, maybe. I am interested in what happens between Angus and his father. Will I listen to the series, I am not so sure. I may decide to read it.

This was an enjoyable read. I liked the storyline. I love the highlander books. I'm hopelessly hooked. Aye!

Yes, the narration helped to bring me into the story with the Highland and High English accents and affectations. The narrator was very good at separating characters and using inflection.

It has a slight similarity to the Masters of Time series by Brenda Joyce given the setting and big virulent warriors. However it is markedly better. It is much better written than Joyce's books; it has more depth, more thought, greater character development, better plot. I'll be buying more of MacLean's books for certain.

Warm, clear, versatile

"Kidnapping Love"

The plot was very satisfying as it drew out the seduction of both of the main characters, one for the other - therefore my title Sweet Tension. I loved this book and the narration lent an extra layer of intimacy to the lovely story.

Ive read many and enjoyed many, this series is very high on my list, alot to do with a male deep enough voice with accents - especially when it counts!

Duncan of course (and Angus).. deep down hero even tho the times called for unfortunate bravery

Duncan (and Angus) :)

ABSOLUTELY!

THE STORY IS TERRIFIC AND ENJOYED IT MORE IN AUDIO - ANTHONY F IS VERY GOOD AND I WAS INVOLVED WITHIN THE STORY FROM BEGINNING TO END...GOING TO LOOK INTO MORE SCOTTISH BOOKS narrated by ANTHONY F... THANK YOU JULIANNE/ANTHONY/AUDIBLE!!
