Black Richard's Heart

The MacCulloughs, Book 1

By: Suzan Tisdale

Narrated by: Brad Wills

Nearly killed while trying to win back his ancestral home, Black Richard MacCullough is left scarred and mangled; but some scars run far deeper than mere skin. No longer the handsome devil or kind man of his youth, now he focuses solely on rebuilding everything that was lost to the brutal Chisolms and traitorous MacRays. Revenge - while not nearly as important as keeping his clan from starving - is the only thing that keeps his bruised heart beating.

With his clan on the brink of starvation and annihilation, Black Richard doesn’t believe his life could get worse. Until King David II decides to put an end to the border wars himself, via a marriage between Black Richard and Aeschene MacRay, the daughter of his sworn enemy.

Locked away and all but forgotten because she is deemed imperfect and useless by her father, Aeschene MacRay holds no hope of ever having a husband and family of her own. But hope is the only thing she has left: Hope that her vision will miraculously return and that she will regain her father’s approval.

But when news arrives that she is to be married off to the chief of her father’s enemy, she has only two choices: put her faith and hope in the monster that is Black Richard MacCullough or remain in the prison her father has created for her.

When you’ve lost everything, any risk is worth the taking.

story was solid. the performance fantastic

story was solid, it didn't have an arcing conclusion, kind of just muddled. very hallmark epilogue, which was enjoyable . the performance fantastic.

ohhhh Such a treat

This was an absolutely amazing story. The true example of love being blind. Such an amazing read at found a new author that I can really appreciate. For the story is historical yet romantic and fulfilling I think I cried I laughed. I went through all of my emotions which I think a good book should evoke.

One of Her Best (I say that about all of them)!!!

You can always count on Susan Tizdale to capture your heart with beautiful stories replete with profound messages that apply to our lives today; and Brad Wills to deliver them with a magical touch. I have all of Suzan's stories and she's one of very few authors whose stories I'm compelled to read and/or listen to more than once! The biggest challenge always is waiting for the next story to be released! Sometimes, if I'm patient enough, I'll wait so I can stack them up and binge like Netflix series 😄 but having that patience is a challenge in and of itself! Thank you, Suzan, for another one that's made me laugh & cry in equal measure! ☺️

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I was hooked the first few moments and was finding myself fitting in the story whenever I got a moment. I’ve been missing that of late so I’m very happy with this book.

Sometimes I can see some of the foolish behavior in the characters but that’s what they are for, not perfect but flawed and finding their way.

I’m on to the next book!!

Beautiful!

Beautiful and wonderful story. The narrator is wonderful as well! It can be a bit long, but it is well worth it!
