Highland Rake

The Highlanders, Book 3

De: Terry Spear

Narrado por: Borah Coburn

Dougald MacNeill is the next to youngest MacNeill brother and he's not about to settle down, until Lady Alana Cameron is placed squarely in his lap... and then, the trouble begins. When Dougald finds Alana roaming the heather on the MacNeill lands, he takes her in hand to see his laird brother James at Craigly Castle to determine her fate. But who has sent her there and why?

Her uncle, laird of the Cameron clan, that has warred with the MacNeills for years, has made a marriage arrangement with another clan and now that is even at stake. Having witnessed her father's death, and even believing he had returned her home when all along he had been dead, Alana discovers she has the gift, or curse, of seeing the newly departed and sometimes those who should have long ago passed over. Her own deceased brother continues to plague her, the rake, and now another, who is very much of the flesh, Dougald MacNeill, has her thinking marrying a rake might just have its benefits.

Dougald's sister, who is one feisty ghost, has offered to help Alana keep Dougald in line if he thinks of even straying. But who sent Alana on a fool's errand in the first place to remove her from the Cameron's lands and set her squarely in Dougald's care, and who really killed her father and her brother, and what has it all to do with Alana? Will she and Dougald learn the truth before it is too late?

Entertaining story

I loved this book. It is a very entertaining story. Alana can see ghost which is what really drives the story. She must keep it a secret or be proclaimed a witch. Like most secrets it is not so secret.

This is turning into one of my favorite listens. I have probably listen to this book 5 or more times so far and want to start the book all over as soon as it is done. It is a fast pace book which holds my interest. The secondary charater's, the ghosts, provide a humorous aspect that makes you begin to care about them as much as the main charater's. One of the ghost is her brother and the other is Dougald's sister. They are able to help provide all the answers that she is searching for in the death of her father.

The only problem I have with this book is the narrator talking so fast. If I had a way to slow her down I would. It is worth getting past that. She does a wonderful job on the voices.

Give this book a try. I am glad I did.

Another Hit By Terry Spear

Terry Spear does it again with this story. Borah Coburn makes you fall in love with the characters even more. The story was fast paced and drew you in immediately.

Highland Ghost Whisperer

This story is very different than the first 2 in this series. This book is a romantic paranormal adventure that surrounds mystery. It is not a scary paranormal story at all.....its more a romantic quirky paranormal. The main characters (Dougald and Alana) are very likeable from the beginning. The spark between them is endearing......very sweet. The narrator did a very good job with the voices. It took a while to get used to her Scottish accent but once I did there was no problem.

I don't read paranormal books that often but I enjoyed this one. You could definitely read any of the books in this series out of order with no problem.

Narration was very bad.

I love highland historical romances and cannot help myself from selecting them. The first two books of this series were ruined by the narration. I thought this book with a different narrator would be better. Boy! was I wrong, why o why release these poorly read books. The books are expensive enough without the story been destroyed by a poor reader.

Great read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I think it had a great story line and kept me intrigued the entire time. It had enough twists and turns that I found myself unable to stop listening

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dougald, he kept surprising me and his gentle ways made me want to keep reading. I love the fact that he always seemed to do the right thing.

What about Borah Coburn’s performance did you like?

I love how she had different voices for the characters and how the story flowed effortlessly from her.
