Resumen del Editor

After years of fighting abroad, Ian MacDonald comes home to find his clan in peril. To save his kin, he must right the wrongs from his past... and claim the bride he's long resisted.

As a young lass, Sìleas depended on Ian to play her knight in shining armor. But when his rescue attempt compromised her virtue, Ian was forced to marry against his wishes. Five years later, Sìleas has grown from an awkward girl into an independent beauty who knows she deserves better than the reluctant husband who preferred war to his wife. Now this devilishly handsome Highlander is finally falling in love. He wants a second chance with Sìleas - and he won't take no for an answer.

Loved every moment!

Any additional comments?

This was my first audio book and my first Margaret Mallory novel. I am now hooked on both!

The story was exciting and thrilling (I love a good mystery!) I loved Ian and Sileas as well as the side characters. I was glad that Ian wasn't the dark, brooding hero we often run into. He was funny as well as sexy, although a bit stubborn as most good heroes are. And Sileas was perfect! Not a simpering fool with a 'woe is me' attitude. I liked that.

Derek did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life, with enough distinction between the voices that it was very easy to tell who was who.

I'm definitely looking forward to more audio books and listening or reading the rest of this series.

slow start

story had a slow start. it got better but I got mad at the main male character. Not much morals until he fell for the lady.

yummy highlanders make me grin

Do you have any additional comments?

I truly enjoyed this book. It brought so much more to the tale then your standard romance... the suspense, action, turmoil, drama, and steamy romance are all combined with a steady flair... with that special secret ingredient that makes the story verrrry yummy.
Was this my favorite all time highland book? Probably not. But it ranks right up there with those I would listen to again. Worth the credit? Oh yeah!!!!

Great Read

Loved every minute of this story. The characters were fantastic and the family aspect was great. The live story was beautiful as well! The Narrator was great as well.

Engaging, Exciting, Enjoyment!

Such a good story with great subplots. loved the characters and can't wait to read the next book! The narrator was outstanding!

Good read

This is one of my favorite books yet. So much detail and history involved. It makes you believe you are actually there.

A delicious male narration!

This was your usual Highland Romance with a bit of intrigue but what made it unique was the wonderful narration. Sometimes a good, authentic, male narration will do wonders for the story and Mr. Perkins did just that! This is about 4 Highlanders, friends since youth, their trials and finding love. This was #1 so there is a lot of character introduction but I plan to continue on with the series to see what happens with other three!

Interesting, sweet, frustrating..HIGHLANDERS!

The story was interesting from the start. I could see how the series was going to be a great one from the moment all the characters were introduced.

Mallory does a great job creating characters that inspire emotions in the reader/listener.

I am not a fan of male narrators for romance novels, so although Perkins does a fine job...just not my favorite.

I loved Sileas from the start and Ian needed a god slap now and then , but don't all Highlanders?

Great start to a superb series! Listen to the series as soon as you can!
