Publisher's summary

The lady captive: Being a daughter of one of the Legendary Bastards of the Crown proves to be a blessing as well as a curse for Fia Douglas. Having both English and Scottish blood, she is being fostered in Northumberland per the late English king's wishes. This puts her far from her beloved family and homeland of Scotland.

When war breaks out between England and Scotland, Fia finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Alone with a wounded Highland spy in the late queen's secret garden, she ends up being kidnapped by the Scot and brought back to the Highlands, where she is now a prisoner in her own land.

The Highland laird: Laird Alastair MacPherson is wounded and left for dead after being ambushed on English soil. When he stumbles into a secret garden in the woods to find refuge, he discovers a red-haired beauty whose life he'd saved several years earlier. She is inclined to help him so she can pay back the favor. But when his life is threatened once again, he is backed into a corner and has no choice but to use her as a hostage to escape.

Can a rugged Highlander love a lass whose secrets threaten to ruin his one chance at redemption? And will a woman who has fallen in love with her captor be able to betray him if necessary?

Fast paced and entertaining

This is a good paced story with plenty of action. Fia is a thoughtful and caring woman but also brave when needed. Alastair is a laird who is handsome and brave but has conflict within his own clan. Their attraction to each other is evident from their first meeting, however there are many obstacles in their way, including Fia’s allegiance to both her English relations and her Scottish family. The narrator had an easy voice to listen to and he used different voices for the characters to bring them to life. His voice for Alastair was a bit gruffer than I imagined but this didn’t spoil my enjoyment. This was an entertaining audiobook and I look forward to hearing about the other women in the series

A wonderful, original story!

I really enjoyed this book. The story is original, the characters are great and I love that it speaks to the ability of women. The narration could've been better, in respect to the female voices. The narrator doesn't do a very good feminine voice.

Secrets

3 granddaughters born to the king’s bastard sons are called to his deathbed where he gives each a jeweled crown. Their grandmother, his late wife, had instructed him to do so. They each also had brooches which signified they were members of a women’s group their grandmother had formed. The group was formed of strong women to help others in need. Of course the girls didn’t know that until they were older. A Scot captured the oldest in order to trade her for his father who was imprisoned by the clan of her father.
It’s a good story with diverse characters. Unfortunately the narrator did not adequately bring them to life in my opinion, nor did he give life to the book. I didn’t enjoy his voices, especially the MH.

Highland Secrets

The story is about Fia Douglas who is the eldest daughter of one of the Legendary Bastards of the Crown and Scottish Laird Alastair. I thought it was well written and Kevin E Green really brought the story to life. It had a secret garden, mystery, twists and turns, family that is close, love and even magic. I loved that Fia and Alastair are strong and intelligent. I really enjoyed this audiobook and look forward to listening to the rest of the series. I recommend any book by Elizabeth Rose and I know you will not be disappointed if you read or listen to her books.

I received this audiobook from Elizabeth Rose to give an honest review.

Sensational Story

I listened to Highland Secrets, the first book in Elizabeth Rose’s Secrets of the Heart series, and was surprisingly pleased. I don’t normally listen to audio books, as I get easily distracted and can’t follow the story. Kevin Green’s voice was pleasing to hear, and as a result, following the story was easy! The story itself was sensational, introducing you to the the four sisters and cousins, their training in a secret society of strong women, and the love story between the eldest, Fia and Alastair MacPherson. I can’t wait to listen to the next book!
