Her Highness and the Highlander

Princess Brides, Book 2

By: Tracy Anne Warren

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

From New York Times best-selling author Tracy Anne Warren comes the second novel in an enchanting new trilogy about three princesses brought together by friendship and fate on their way to finding true love. This is Princess Mercedes's story....

While journeying home from Scotland, Princess Mercedes of Alden’s coach is set upon and her personal guard killed. Barely escaping with her life, she seeks help at a nearby inn. But with no money and looking little better than a beggar, the townsfolk think her claims of being a princess to be nothing more than a far-fetched tale. Utterly forsaken, Mercedes wonders what is to become of her.

After years of soldiering, dispossessed Laird Daniel MacKinnon is finally coming home. At an inn he is confronted by a bedraggled young woman claiming to be of royal blood. Daniel doesn’t believe her wild tale, but when she asks for his protection, he agrees to serve as her bodyguard - in turn she promises to reward him handsomely once they reach London. But Mercedes is still being pursued by ruthless hunters whose motives remain unclear.

As the danger increases, so does the desire she and Daniel feel for each other, until the two of them must face the greatest danger of all - falling in love.

Just OK for me..

Any additional comments?

It was a really nice story but it kept saying the same thing, except using different words. It could have been cut by about 100 pages and it would have been a 5 star book for me. Too much filler. I just hate having someone ask an important question then having to listen 15 to 25 pages before that question is ever answered. Too much inner thinking. However, I did like Daniel but if I were the man I wouldn't have been anywhere near as forgiving of Mercedes when they finally reached London. Like Daniel, I would have left and NEVER come back. I was so mad at her I wanted to throw my iPad across the room, but that wasn't happening. LOL.. Also, I do hate reading a book where the heroine has red hair as I'm always letting myself drift into thoughts of Pippy Longstocking or Little Orphan Annie so you can imagine how I felt about Daniel having red hair and musing about Ronald McDonald. No hero should ever have red hair, IMO.Loved seeing Emma, Nick and Ariadne again. Didn't like her father too much but he came around. Hated Lang and, for a bad guy, Smeek wasn't too horrible. And the sex? Wonderful.As to the narration? Ms. Eyre did an absolutely horrible job on Daniel's voice and scottish brogue. I just hated it when he spoke. She was much better in The Princess and the Peer.

My second time around and I still love it

I purchased this book 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. I was in the mood for a nice romance without any drama to forget my life and get lost in another's creative mind. So I decided to go back and re-listen to this book. I enjoyed it as much if not more the second time around. My only complaint was that the performance for the hero's Scottish accent was poorly done and that's all. This will be one of those books I will listen to again and again in the future as well.

GREAT STORY

I have so enjoyed listening to the stories of the Princesses Love when a writer enter twines the Scott’s into the stories!! THE LOVE OF A HIGHLANDER makes a Girls Heart soar ❤️❤️

Charming, romantic story!

I wish I would’ve found a Scottish Major like Daniel in my life!! What a wonderful character who was really well written! Really liked Princess Mercedes by the half way point. This charming story had a happy ending and was really full of love and a few surprises! As always, this narrator, Justine Erye, is the BEST!!!

Wonderful Story

Justine Eyre is a very good narrator. She made the princess AND the highlander very likeable. Add a nice story line and you have a very good book. I actually got a little weepy.
