Tamed by a Highlander

The Children of the Mist Series, Book 3

De: Paula Quinn

Narrado por: Carrington MacDuffie

Mairi MacGregor hoped to never again lay eyes on Connor Grant. She was 10 and one when he promised her he would one day build them a home in her beloved Highlands, spending their lives together. But she was 10 and seven and foolishly weeping when he rode out of the Highlands to join the English Royal Army. She wouldn’t be so foolish as to waste tears on him now. Devoted to her beloved Scotland, Mairi believes Connor is a turncoat and a liar, and there’s nothing she despises more than that. No one but her brother, Colin, knows that Mairi is part of a rebel militia, quietly gaining intelligence and exposing traitors to Scotland using whatever means necessary. Now, at King James’ court in England, she’s determined to keep her missions secret and keep the one man with the power to bring her to her knees at arm’s length—her heart be damned.

Royal Captain Connor Grant never wanted to leave Mairi, but he’d had no choice. It was his duty to serve his family’s name, and no matter how he asked her to wait, his lass had refused. He’s never stopped loving her, though, and seeing the beautiful, passionate, yet mysterious woman she’s become at court has taken his breath away. But King James has powerful enemies, and Connor isn’t deaf to the whispers of treachery in court. So when the king disappears in the middle of the night with Mairi’s brother as his only protection, Connor suspects Mairi is involved. As one secret after another unravels about the king’s whereabouts and the whispers of a coup grow ever stronger, can Connor trust the one woman who still has his heart?

awesome story

What did you love best about Tamed by a Highlander?

Story of a strong man earning back his lost love. Mary proves to be hard to convince of is faithful unending love.Full of Highland intrigue, and helps to continue the story from the previous books on the series.

Great book and great series

I love this series and love this book especially! Narrator does a great job also!

Liked the previous two better

Would you listen to Tamed by a Highlander again? Why?

eh. Not sure. About 1/3 of the way in, Mairi (the heroine) really started to grate on my nerves. I understand she is suppose to be a tough guy but she came across arrogant and ignorant at the same time. To quick to act before thinking. It got old after awhile. If I was Connor I would have throttled her.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Again, it was ok. A little too sugary, sappy but ok. Can't give too much away.

What about Carrington MacDuffie’s performance did you like?

A little monotonanous after awhile. Accents were ok.

Any additional comments?

Good series. I bought the next one in the series. I really enjoyed the first two - they weren't quite as predictable and a little more in depth.

Paula Quinn, you never cease to amaze me.

Mairi McGregor and Conner Grant were childhood friends.
Conner promised Mari he would build her a home when
they were younger. Conner had to leave to serve the King.
Mairi's heart was broken. They meet again years later.
Get ready for betrayal, danger to the king, never giving
up on love and jealously. I listened to this Audio book
twice it was so good. A Highland and a sassy Highlander
Lass is a combination like no other!

Best in the Series

I liked this book best out of the series. It's best to read the series in order it is more exciting to hear what other characters were doing at the same time as the ones from the previous book. It flowed VERY well. I liked the way this book tied up the series and gave a conclusion to all three books. It also had more suspense & mystery than the others. Good series if not just a little predictable. At times the relationships between the main characters seemed to drag on and repeat the same feelings. However, the stories were very interesting and well read.

Captivating Series

The third in the series and still captivating

After the fall of her brothers into domesticated bliss, Mairi won't settle for less, even to the one and only man she had. Listen up Connor Grant.

Paula Quinn has created what series are made for, captivating until the last moment. Carrington MacDuffie just made it more so.

VT. FAN

I HAVE SO WAITED TO CONNOR AND MAIRI'S STORY IN THIS SERIES. AND QUINN HAS DEVLIVERED. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF SCOTTISH HIGHLAND ROMANCE YOU PROBABLY HAVE READ THE OTHER 2 (RAVISHED BY A HIGHLANDER, SEDUCED BY A HIGHLANDER) BUT THERE IS ANOTHER LAIRD OF THE MIST, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT IN AUDIO AND IT SHOULD BE I THINK. MACDUFFIE AS USUAL DOES A FABULOS JOB AS NARRATOR. BRAVO!

Love This Series

I love the children of the mist series. I hope there will be many more!!!!

Everlasting Love

The narrator is fantastic in her accents and pitch that brings this story of adventure, intrigue, and love to life.
