Highland Hope

Of Mist and Mountains, Book 1

De: Julie Johnstone

Narrado por: Timothy Campbell

Sometimes the one you love is the very one you cannot have.

Lady Eve Sotherby dreams of escaping her horrid life in England, yet she has nowhere to run. So when she spies a posting for a companion in the Highlands, she seizes the chance to disappear. She’s heard tales about the barbaric Highlanders, of course, but no one can be worse than the beast she once foolishly agreed to wed. And never mind that she doesn’t meet any of the requirements for the position: must have no family, must love the cold, and must know the healing arts. Her depraved relations hardly qualify as family, she’ll wear a shawl, and how hard can it be to learn medicinal ways?

Laird Royce MacLeod rules the fiercest clan in the Highlands with an iron fist, but his two children are another matter. Since the death of his wife, they’ve grown quite unruly. Too busy with his clan duties to tend to them himself, he needs someone with both a spine of steel and a kind heart to subdue them. What he does not need - or want - is to get entangled with a woman who desires anything related to soft emotions from him. So when a mysterious woman appears at his holding showing the sort of mettle he requires, he takes her on, despite her two major flaws: she’s English and she’s beautiful.

Soon, Eve finds herself yearning for the one thing her past prevents her from ever having - the honorable but brooding Highlander. And the Scot who was certain he desired only order and obedience cannot explain the undeniable pull to the chaos and warmth Eve brings to his home. But the more they deny their feelings, the more impossible they become to resist, and when enemies and secrets threaten, Eve and Royce may only survive by surrendering to true love. If only it’s not too late...

Hopefully

Lovely and entertaining. Timothy Campbell‘s narrative is once again perfect. I loved the story about love set against personal hardship and second chances. A perfect HEA.

Exceptional

Love the deep highlander voices! Great storyline! Julie you never cease to amaze me with your great stories.

Sweet love story!

Perfect read and great narrator! Loved the story line and the characters. Will definitely look for the second book in this series!

Highland Hope

I enjoyed this book very much. I enjoyed the fact that there was no extended waits and it flowed nicely. Narrator makes the difference too.

Good

loved the hero, wish a man like that existed IRL! Story was good. One thing I found annoying is Eve,although a survivor, seemed like a weak, wimpy , frail little woman. Rather light on the intellect. A little too helpless.

What A Love!

Eve and Royce a love for the ages! Two damaged souls who were meant to heal together. As usual, Tim Campbell using his excellent narration made the story come alive. His ability to make the male and female characters sound appealing make him the best in the business.

Loved It

Julie Johnstone is a gifted writer and Tim Campbell never disappoints. I was enchanted and delighted to the very end. You will not be disappointed. If you love strong Scotsmen and damsels in distress, this book is for you.

Loved it

A little corny in parts but for what other reason does one enjoy a book like this! 😂😂😂 Loved the hero in the book. My kind of man!

Wonderful start to a new series

The story of Royce and Eve was about a second chance for love that neither thought was in their future. I enjoyed every minute of this book beautifully narrated by Timothy Campbell. Both his men and women’s voices are done so well.

A great read

This story was very well written, and the narration was very good. I enjoyed all of it, and I usually don't.
