When a Scot Ties the Knot

Castles Ever After

De: Tessa Dare

Narrado por: Carmen Rose

On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: She invented a sweetheart.

A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter...and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.

Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep - handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters...and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

Fiction becomes Reality

This was a fun read. Carmen Rose narrated it perfectly, and I love her Scottish accent.

Some of Maddie’s letters to her fictional captain are included at the beginning of the book and they’re hilarious.

The characters are rich, I loved them all. It’s a great storyline: funny, poignant, tender and sensitive. Very well-written, it’s an enjoyable book to read. I recommend it as well as the first two books in the series.

wonderful story

love the narrative and the story. the characters were likeable. most enjoyed at the end when she finally puts it together.

Love the story

This was a wonderful story with surprisingly vivid love making scenes. The narrator was spot on with the accents.

Beautiful story!

Loved the storyline! Loved all the characters. Beautifully written! Going to look up more books by this author.

Great reading, ok story

I loved the reader, she did a great job with the accent and foreign words (as far as I can tell). the story was ok, worth finishing, but I the heroine seemed to get over her issues awfully quickly. Great hero.

What a delight and lobsters too!!!

Laughed so much while listening to this book. I walked while listening and was worried someone would see me and wonder if I was crazy. Witty bander between hero and heroine was delightful. Tessa Dare is one of my favorite romance writers and this is in my top 5 of all time best romance books I've read/listened to. Narrator was wonderful.

My Favorite

I've listened to this 3 times and find myself coming back for a fourth! I absolutely love the story and performance. I find myself searching for more story's with this author and narrator.

Fun premise, all the feels!

This is a sweet, sexy, emotional story. The ending had me blubbering! Love it!

First book I’ve listened to Carmen Rose narrate. She has a nice, husky voice. To me, she sounds like a cross between Rosalyn Landon and Justine Eyre. Excellent!

A wonderful romance — thank you!

MaWa

Loved this book could hardly stop listening——actually - I didn’t ! Spell bound til the end. I’ve enjoyed the Scottish themed books always, but this one is fun and entertaining.. going to follow Tessa Dare for a long while I think! Thank you!

I totally have a non-fictional Canadian boyfriend.

You know when you were in middle school and everyone claimed to have some internet boyfriend who lived in Canada? This is like the Regency version of that, but then years later he turns out to be real. I adore this book and it's a go to when I want a good rom-com. Anything by Tessa Dare will be gold, but this is one of my favorites.
Maddy is practically agoraphobic levels of "shy" so to avoid a London season she claimed to have met and become engaged to a handsome man while on vacation. Why cant you meet him? Well he lives far away...in Scotland...but he's a soldier and he's gone to war...so that's why. To keep up the rouse Maddy sends tons of letters to her imaginary beau expecting the letters to have gone to the dead letter office since their recipient is fictional, but it turns out it wasn't too far fetched to guess the name she made up actually matched a Scottish soldier off fighting Napoleon. Captain Logan Mackenzie shows up one day ready to actually marry Maddy and a truly fun romp ensues.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. The Scottish accents are the cherry on top of a great read.
