The Highlander's Reward

The Stolen Bride Series, Book 1

De: Eliza Knight

Narrado por: Corrie James

Lady Arbella de Mowbray abhors the idea of marrying an English noble occupying Scotland. When she arrives in Stirling, she is thrown into the midst of a full battle between the Scots and the English. Besieged by rebels, she is whisked from her horse by a Highland warrior who promises her safety. But when he kisses her she fears she's more in danger of losing herself.

The last thing Magnus Sutherland wants is to marry the beautiful English lass he saved. As the laird of his clan, he has a responsibility to his clan and allies. But when Arbella is attacked by one of his own men, he determines the only way to keep her safe is to make her his. A decision that promises to be extremely satisfying. Magnus brings Arbella to his home of Dunrobin Castle in the Highlands. And that's where the trouble begins… Their countries are at war and they should be each other's enemy. Neither one considered their mock marriage would grow into a deeply passionate love. What's more, they were both unhappily betrothed and those who've been scorned are out for revenge. Can their new-found love keep them together or will their enemies tear them apart?

What revenge will the scorned do ? Can love survive in an environment of insecurity or will others tear them from each other’s embrace?

Better

Liked this narrator better. Spoke more smoothly when switching characters. Storyline was interesting also. Can’t wait for the next one.

Sweet sexy Highlander series

I really enjoyed this book. It's pretty fast paced and short. The story is more centered in the developing romance more than historical facts or accuracy. I felt like I was listening to a Harlequin story with a Highlander twist (very sweet and sexy but a bit unrealistic). I also liked the narrator because male and female characters were easily distinguishable.

Great Highlander Story

Short and sweet story about Magnus Sutherland a highland warrior who marries a Lady Arbella English woman to save her life after he rescues her from rebels and she is separated from her father. The chemistry between the two characters develop and we have a highlander love story.
Great narration can't wait to listen to book two.

Now ,time to listen to the next book 🥰

Cute and to the point

From the start it draws you in and is very to the point with the direction.

Can’t listen to the narrator

I’m a fan of Eliza Knight and enjoy her books but I stopped in the middle of this one because I couldn’t listen to the narrator as Magnus. She makes him so old and it’s irritating. However, her voice for Arbella is beautifully done. I suggest using a male voice from now on.
