Lost Highlander: Lost Highlander, Book 1

By: Cassidy Cayman

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Grad student and cocktail waitress Evelyn Merkholtz has plenty to deal with. Too much to deal with, actually. So when her runaway best friend calls with a mysterious and urgent request to join her in Scotland, she is secretly more than happy to drop everything and oblige. When she gets there, Evelyn discovers that she is faced with an ancient curse, an adorably hunky villager, and a super hot (but possibly murderous) Highland warrior from the 18th century - and realizes that getting burned at the stake is a really bad way to get out of writing her thesis.

hmm ehhh

I felt that the story mimicked another book I've read and narrator was terrible. I almost stopped listening because of the narrator.

what?

This is the first book I've rented with my new AUDIBLE ROMANCE PACKAGE. The plot and story, I enjoyed it. The ROMANCE part of the book seemed to be lost somewhere in the pages. I felt like I was waiting for it to happen and when it FINALLY did I felt like it was an afterthought.
Evelyn gets a phone call from her best friend asking her to drop everything and fly to Scotland to help her figure out how to send a man back to his time. The TIME TRAVEL was backwards d where the man was taken from his time to ours, but he spent ALL of the book in the tower. That right there I feel AD missed a great opportunity with him dealing with this time. In the middle of the book, Evelyn finds herself trapped in the past.
Overall this was pleasant read. listening to the book they have the Scottish accent which is the reason I like audiobooks it seems like they're on stage acting instead of just reading the book to you and one normal tone voice.

Riveting tale, can't wait to see what happens next

Yes, a scottish highlander, from another century, on the 5th floor! How did he get there? How can they return him to his own time.

Yes, it's a time travel novel, but to the future, not the past. All the answers are in the book, and then a few more.

Good story, annoying narrator

Good story, annoying narrator. Love the story. The narrator has an annoying and nasally quality to her voice. I am glad I didn't buy this book!

Lost Highlander... Kinda blah..but readable.

I have the audio version of this book and the narrator is Angela Dawe it took me a while to comfortable with her reading style as she reads the narrative parts it basically monotone no inflections in her voice but when she reads as what a character is saying she reads well and her voices are all quite good. Some very good one woman's voice in this book was a tad annoying but I suppose it went with her description of being a petit woman.
The story line was ok...the beginning hooked me because no one would come out with what the big issue was! What the problem was that Evelyn had to drop her job and graduate school at a moments notice when her BFF from childhood calls and says must come help her. If for nothing else I wanted to know what the problem was... A little bit of a let down after that was reveled and it took a little effort on my part to keep moving along. I wound up reading (listening) to it pretty much straight through. It was ok but I didn't fall in love with anyone o was rooting for anyone to overcome all odds and be able to be together. I was fine either way and that is not a good thing when reading a romance. You want love the love to live the couple! Cheer them on... But alas I was like just get on with it. Nora ING heart no tears no elation no let down.. It was what it was.
With all that said I o er all enjoyed the book but looking back I think I kept reading hoping for more. I didn't get what o wanted but I got enough over all.
