The Lass He Left Behind

Rogues of Mull, Book 1

De: Jayne Castel

Narrado por: Isla Ross

He thought he’d forget her. He was wrong. When a battle-hardened warrior returns home from years of campaigning, he discovers that the lass he left behind never married—a lass who will be his undoing. Second chance and redemption on Medieval Isle of Mull.

After a decade campaigning against the English, Loch Maclean returns to the Isle of Mull to find his father dead and his lands in disarray. Cattle thieving is rife, and the isle’s clans are at each other’s throats. Loch’s got his work cut out for him—but he’s distracted by a woman from his past.

Mairi Macquarie is even more beguiling than he remembers, only these days she’s no longer innocent and biddable. These days, she’s got no time for him at all. Or so it seems.

Mairi was heartbroken when the laird’s roguish son went off to war and never came home. She got on with her life and tried to forget him. But now he’s back, battle-hardened, and cynical—and even more dangerous than ever.

The attraction between Loch and Mairi burns hotter than a Beltane fire, yet they both are looking for different things. He wants her to warm his bed, but what she wants is love.

And neither is prepared to compromise.

THE LASS HE LEFT BEHIND is Book One of an exciting new Medieval Scottish Romance trilogy by Jayne Castel—full of flawed yet irresistible Highland warriors and determined Scottish lasses!

Pour the Wine, Ignore the World: A Cozy Captivating Listen

This historical romance audiobook whisked me straight to the atmospheric Medieval Isle of Mull. Jayne Castel’s signature captivating writing style, an auto-listen for me, was on full display in the rich world-building! I still feel like I haven't left its shores.

I loved the feisty heroine, Mairi, and wanted to (lovingly) throttle the brooding hero, Loch. The narration was exquisite, delivering a full-cast feel with one brilliant voice. While the story's pacing wobbled slightly, I was too busy ignoring the real world to care. I'm already craving the next installment!

My advice? Get your wine and snacks ready before you hit play. You won't want to pause!
