Highland Groom

The Highland, Book 8

De: Hannah Howell

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Sir Diarmot MacEnroy, deciding his illegitimate children need a mother and his keep needs a proper lady, now stands before the altar with a gentle bride he hopes is too shy to disrupt his life or break his heart. The nuptials, however, are interrupted by the appearance of a flame-haired beauty carrying two babies, boldly claiming that she is his wife and mother of his twin infant sons. Armed with her seven very large brothers, she has come to demand her due.

Having waited one year for the return of the handsome laird who wed her, bedded her, then disappeared, Ilsa Campbell MacEnroy takes matters into her own hands and sets out to reclaim the man she briefly and passionately loved. Stunned by his denial, her heart softens when she learns of the injury that has ravaged his memory. Now, she faces the nearly impossible task of conquering his past-and his fierce reluctance to share his heart…

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With wit and a powerful sense of what goes into a relationship, Howell breathes life into a delightful duo." ( RT Book Reviews)

Need a reality check

Good story for the most part, however the author needs a reality check when employing miscarriage as a plot point. There is no way that a woman as forceful as this heroine is ever going to say, "Ah weel, 'tis pro'ly for the best." And then get on with life as if there had never been a pregnancy!

Loving this series!!

I’m listening to this series in order and I’m really loving it. If you like good Scottish romances with laughter, tears and danger, you will like this series. While each book has its own message and touches upon subjects most romances do not (such as rape and abuse) it is done in such a way that is part of the story instead of the focus. And it’s handled so well that it does not put the listener off. As I said, you will laugh, maybe cry a pinch every now and then and yet see the endings as plausible. Moving onto the next in the series. Much to the dismay of my family since I can’t put the books down, lol. At least I can still use both hands while listening. 😁

Narration

If you could sum up Highland Groom in three words, what would they be?

Story is fun.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Angela Dawes is a poor narrator. There is absolutely very little inflection or feeling in her reading. Also, she actually mispronounces words and skips over some of the too.
She makes the story boring to listen to. I turned the narration off and read the book myself.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Reading the Kindle book myself there were a several places where I laughed and cried. It was a well written story.

Any additional comments?

I notice that this narrator is reading in several other of the Highlander books. I don't think I will buy the narration anymore if she is reading.

Highland Groom

This was written by Hannah Howell. I have read and enjoyed many of her books. This is no different. Here is the story of a couple who will go through many ups and downs. There is a mystery to be solved. She was hand fasted to him almost a year ago. When she and her brothers catch up with him he is about to marry another. Let's just say in true highland fashion fist were used well. I will be reading the rest of this series soon. The narration was fun to listen to.

Amazing book!

Absolutely love this book. From the first chapter it grabbed me and I couldn't stop listening to it. Great story. I love all the new and returning characters. Obsessed with the two main characters and their love story.
