Publisher's summary

Powerful and dangerous Highlander Dair Sinclair was once the favored son of his clan, the Sinclairs of Carraig Brigh. With Dair at the helm, Sinclair ships circled the globe bringing home incredible fortune - until one deadly mission when Dair is captured, tortured, and unable to save his young cousin. He returns home breaking under the weight of his guilt and becomes known as the Madman of Carraig Brigh.

When a pagan healer predicts that only a virgin bride can heal his son's body and mind, Dair's father sets off to find the perfect wife for his son. At the castle of the fearsome McLeods, he meets lovely and kind Fia MacLeod.

Although Dair does his best to frighten Fia, she sees the man underneath the damage and uses her charm and special gifts to heal his mind and heart. Will Dair let Fia love him, or is he cursed with madness forever?

Love it!

This is by far my most favorite book. I can't get enough of Thea and Dare! and the narrator is well spoken with a slight accent that puts right into the story. I've listened to this book several times

A great read all around.

I enjoyed the book very much. The narrator spoke quite well and even used some Gaelic words with a Scottish brogue. I recommend this novel whole heartily.

Loved this!

I was swept in from the beginning by the wonderful narrator. Her Scottish accent definitely made her perfect! The story was beautiful! I did get the Beauty & The Beast resemblance. The story sucked me in; made me happy, sad, scared, excited & more!

Some endings are too short and sweet, like the author met the minimum page requirements. Not this one.

Interesting twists till the last word. Great story of courage and determination. My first 5 star rating.

Great book

I loved it! Performance was pretty good too. The only thing I'd change is I wish there had also been a man to do the men's voices as it's hard to listen to a woman doing men's voices. It was done pretty well though

Had potential, but it’s not for me

The story started off great, but it wasn’t really a beauty andthebeast retelling. Also,thesex scenes were way too explicit. I thought the ending was too drawn out and anticlimactic .
