"Ashley simply has a gift with her storytelling.... " ( Night Owl Reviews)

Pretty good...

I prefer JA's shifter bound series.... that is JA's best writing...

This book falls under the Mackenzie Brother series... The female is the sister or daughter-in-law or something... of Cameron's new wife...

The smex of course is great... in that regency way... this kinda feels a lot like Ian's book...but Ian's book was way way better. I still liked it though...

Narration was great.. This is Dawe's best type of narration... (regency-like)...

Great credit if you have the Mackenzie Brothers series.. this falls after book 4... next comes Cam's son book... I hope it's better than this one...

Oh my God ! True Mackenzie PIZZAZZ!!! I Loved it!

The perfect combination of strong "Lovable" characters, surprise, mystery, and happiness. I Love, love, love, happy endings and loyal husbands.

Good but not great

The Seduction of Elliott McBride is the 5th book in the Mackenzie / McBride series from Jennifer Ashley. It is my least bit favorite book so far.....but that doesn't make it bad...just the others have been so good!

While there's plenty of steamy scenes in this book....there's not a ton of real "content". The main conflict is within Elliot's mind. He suffers from PTSD and it is a struggle he needs Joanna's help with.

Overall...it's a must because it's part of the series. It's a good book that could easily be a stand alone.

My least favorite part of this book is that it has the least amount of interactions with the rest of the Mackenzie family. They are present in this book...but not as much as the previous books.

Great story!!!

Love all of this series. Narrator does a great job. Excellent story that was well written.

Sometimes crazy men are the sexiest!

This book has a lot going for it, My personal favorite, a crazy person who knows they are crazy!! Can you beat that?
A historical afghan war vet. PTSD and second chance at love, now come on how can you go wrong with a recipe like that.

Ms Ashley does deliver. With new characters that blend in seamlessly with the old, glimpses of old well loved characters and a love affair that proves that yes! in deed opposites attract and first loves rule.

"Smile Full of Sin"

What did you love best about The Seduction of Elliot McBride?

Reviews lead me to think this story would be too dark, but this was not the case.
I have listened/read many of the great historical romances e.g. Kathleen Widdowiess The Wolf and the Dove, Julie Garwood's Honor's Splendor and I have to say that this book ranks right up there. How clever of this author to weave a modern day dilemma into a historical novel. It is hard to impress me with the current day historical novels, but this one does.
Well edited and a great listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Elliott "why n Devil would you knit socks?"

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Note: must use new 1.25x speed to get the full impact of the story.
I purchased this author due to Ms Dawe reading this series. I have about 5 stories from this author and they all are good entertainment. Ms Dawe brings this delightful series to full life.
Her male and children voices are simply great.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Our heroine, Julianna is simply the best. Strong, focused and she stands by her man. The caring she shows can humble you.

Good story

After returning from Afghanistan Elliot McBride is afraid he will never be the same. He hopes marrying the girl back home will help him to heal.

very nice story

i love the whole series so far! this one stans alone well & has a great story.

Loved this book!!!

Would you listen to The Seduction of Elliot McBride again? Why?

I Loved this book!! Some of it broke my heart, it was funny at times, the characters were so amazing and enjoyable! I'm thoroughlyl enjoying the MacKenzie's and their extended family!!! And I wish all of my books could be read by Angela Dawe!!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seduction of Elliot McBride?

The first formal dinner, with the chicken bag pipes and the "happy ending". Wow - what a great dinner that turned out to be!!

Which character – as performed by Angela Dawe – was your favorite?

I thought Julianna was the best!!! Prim, proper and very organized. But became so disorganized to make her life with Elliott work. And his out-of-nowhere kissing her against walls and in various rooms and the gardens; how scandalous!! But loved her through it all!!

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

YES!!

Any additional comments?

Read or listen to this series!!! It's one of the best ones I've ever read and I've read A LOT!!!

Sweet story.Ashley knows her stuff!

Would you listen to The Seduction of Elliot McBride again? Why?

The story was believable, compelling, and interesting. The characters were likable and sympathetic.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seduction of Elliot McBride?

When the main characters first arrived at the estate. The author did a good job of using the house as a metaphor for Elliot's mental state.

Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dawe is very consistently good. What a talent! I feel that I am watching a film as opposed to simply listening to a book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several moments of Elliot's vulnerability. The author does an EXCELLENT job of making Elliot human without making him wimpy or a liability for the female character. I think this is tricky, but she pulls it off!
