The Making of a Highlander

Midnight in Scotland, Book 1

De: Elisa Braden

Narrado por: Ruth Urquhart

Everyone wants handsome adventurer John Huxley to settle down - family, friends, London society. Everyone except John. He's evaded too many scheming title huntresses to trust in happily ever after. Now, a vow made to a dying friend has him locked in a land dispute with a stubborn Scot who offers one way out: Win the Highland Games. John likes a challenge, but this one's impossible. Still, with training from the Scot's stepdaughter, victory might be within reach. He only has to teach the fiery, foulmouthed, breeches-wearing lass how to land a lord. It seems "impossible" is just getting started.

Everyone calls her Mad Annie. True, her best friend is a ghost. And yes, her greatest talents involve cooking for giants and taunting ridiculously handsome Englishmen. But she's not mad - she's desperate. To save her friend, Annie must marry a lord. The trouble is no lord will look twice at a hoyden like her. This calls for "Lady Lessons", and she knows just the uptight Englishman to provide them.

When Annie's family is targeted by a dangerous enemy, John is tempted to stay, to fight, and to win the greatest prize of all: a fiery lass' tender, loyal heart.

Contains mature themes.

Pleasantly surprised!

A perfect historical romance, Good story, some parts were serious, some funny, some pretty hot! Liked all the characters. On to the next book!

Fun Romance

I almost abandoned the book after the first five minutes thinking it was going to be full of stereo typical Irish banter, but I am glad I didn't. The story is very entertaining. Good mix of romance, sadness and hanky panky. Great narration.

a good book

excellent book with an Amazing narrator. loved the back and fourth from Ann and the "English" kept me entertained throughout the whole book.

Love it

One of my favorites loved hearing it read after having read it already. Thank you

Fun story

The story was good, fast paced enough to keep my interest and with enough details to paint a great picture!

So Good!

This was a fun, laugh out loud, sweet story!! The narration was great and so were the characters. I would recommend this book!

Love the book. Can't stand the narrator.

I've read the book and now wanted to listen to it. I love Elisa Braden's work. But in my opinion, the narrator ruined it. Why not continue with Mary Sarah, who narrates the other Elisa Braden books PERFECTLY? This narrator's dialogue is almost harsh, the voices are odd, the cadence is off. I feel it really did the story a disservice.

I highly suggest to read the book. It's great! The audiobook... not so much.

Hilarious

I was very pleasantly surprised by the humorous tone of the story, Annie was so delightful and no blushing débutante. Also the mystical touch was not overdone but some of the villains actions were not clearly defined. The narration was good too .

Great story! Slow burn love.

At first, I was a bit confused... ch 1 refers to her nickname as "mad Annie" and a 'lad' that is always with her. The explanation was slow, and I almost gave up on the book when we learned the
lad is a ghost, and only a few see him. However, quickly there after three banter between she and the 'English', John Huskley begins and the story takes off from there. At times, the subtle humor had me literally laugh out loud, but it is the back stories that kept my attention. Plus, the narration was close to perfect!!

❤️❤️❤️

Loved this story and the characters are great! The narrator was wonderful and brought the characters to life!
