Laird Rory MacKinnon set out to join William Wallace after discovering an imminent threat that the English have planned an attack.

After a brutal attack on her land, Rory discovers that Annella has been taken prisoner by the English. Now Rory must fight; not only to secure his own clan's freedom but to save the woman he loves.

Annella, the eldest daughter of the MacCallum clan vows to never marry, until the day Rory MacKinnon enters her life and opens her heart. Heading off to war, she knew they had no future. After her father offers aid to Laird MacKinnon and his men to help in their campaign, her castle is attacked and her father is killed by the English for treason.

I know I'm going to finish this..

Any additional comments?

But I'll finish it by just reading the book. This narrator is just terrible. Sometimes she lowers her voice when the hero speaks and sometime she doesn't. All the other men sound quite girly. She has no emotion. All she does is read the book, almost like a robot. She would never be a favorite of mine. I've listened to 13 hour books and with the right narrator they've been exciting. When I can't listen to a 4+ hour book that's really sad.

I would also like to say that the description tells us what the book is about or we can zip over to Amazon and look at reviews. This is AUDIBLE! What we need to review is the narrator. Does he or she suck? Why? Is he or she too nasal-y, too sweet for the kind of book he or she is reading, to gruff, too bland, too robotic, too childish sounding, lacks emotion. Is he or she doing nothing but reading the book? Not changing his or her voice for the male and female voices? Is the narrator sounding the same whether she or he is reading a whisper spoken?
Tell us about the NARRATOR.

Nice and short

This was good for a quick brainless listen. It was action packed and sweet and it didn’t take a lot of thought, it was enjoyable to listen to while driving.

Amazing Scottish adventure!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Honor of a Highlander: A Novella to be better than the print version?

I love both them both as an audio and a book!

What other book might you compare The Honor of a Highlander: A Novella to and why?

I never compare books!

Which character – as performed by Melissa Carey – was your favorite?

Melissa was perfect for Annella's voice!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was! It was great, fun and a delight to listen to!

Any additional comments?

I strongly recommend April Holthaus's books and audios!

Fantastic story of Love!!!

Wow! This audio book was fantastic! Full of suspense, intrigue and love! The detail on how April described the surroundings felt as if I was part of the storyline. Her descriptive words were perfect. I cannot wait to listen to her next audiobook. Don’t hesitate and download this book! You will not be disappointed!

great book

The only issue I had with this book was the narration was off from the kindle book. The story was great and I loved the writing.
