Highland Renegade

Children of the Mist Series, Book 1

De: Cynthia Breeding

Narrado por: Chris MacDonnell

Emily, the Dowager Countess of Woodhaven, has received title to lands in the Highlands - MacGregor lands - and after surviving an abusive marriage, she's determined to make a new start...without a man. She just has to win over the handsome Scottish laird whose family has lived there for centuries. How hard could it be?

When Ian MacGregor heard that the Sassenach countess was actually laying claim to his lands, he figured to scare the aging widow away by showing her the hardships of living in the Highlands. She'd leave before the first snowflake fell. But he never imagined that the widow was young and beautiful and more territorial than a she-wolf. No matter, he'll prove that a fragile, London woman like her would never survive life without her servants...and if he happens to give her the coldest and most remote rooms, all the better.

Despite his best efforts to freeze her out, things between them heat up. But Highlanders hate the Sassenach, so Ian faces a dire choice - his clan or the irresistible English aristocrat who seems to have taken not only his lands, but also his heart.

Contains mature themes.

great historical romance fiction

This story was fascinating. The characters very believable. I could put it down. The narrator was really good. Great storytelling

VERY GOOD

I enjoyed this book because it’s historical facts were very accurate which is very important to me. The background is in the Scottish Highlands on MacGregors land that had been taken from them & their names had been made illegal by England. The story involved these issues in history. The narrator was not easy to listen to.

Forgettable

This is a book that, if you just need something to take up the silence, it's fine. It won't suck you in or stop you from going on about your day. I like highland books and historical romances, and I read/listen to a lot of them. This one is one a year from now, I will have to remind myself I already read. It's not a bad book or story, and the narrator did an admirable job with it. But it is also nothing to write home about and nothing I would have paid money to read. It was a part of my free Audible books, and so, it was listened to.

Narrator needs a day job!

I do not recommend this title! It has a good storyline, but terrible narration. The only voice heard is his own. Men and women are in his own voice. Work is definitely needed on his Scottish burr, also. The story was good, but I was so distracted by the monotonic narration that I actually tuned out several times and lost the story line. I'm considering buying the paperback, but haven't yet made that decision.

Did Not Like

This book pissed me off. The hero and his family are squatters on the heroine's property but yet they feel the need to treat her like shit.
