Highland Surrender

De: Tracy Brogan

Narrado por: Sarah Coomes

Defiant Highland beauty Fiona Sinclair is shocked by her brothers’ treachery. To seal a fragile truce, they have traded her hand in marriage to their sworn enemy, a man she has never met, a man she was raised to despise. With no choice but to wed, Fiona makes her own private vow: Though she may sacrifice her freedom, she will never surrender her heart.

Commanded into marriage by the king, Myles Campbell is no more willing than his reluctant bride. Still, she is a rare beauty, passionate enough to warm even the coldest marriage bed. But Myles quickly realizes Fiona Sinclair isn’t some common wench: She has a warrior’s spirit and a fierce pride that only a fool would try to tame. And Myles Campbell is no fool. Their marriage was meant to unite warring clans. They never imagined it would ignite a once-in-a-lifetime love….

Excellent suprise

I really did not know what to expect of this book and purchased it on a whim. I'm really glad I did. I loved it! Once I started listening I became obsessed with completing the book. The narrator was great and the stroy line kept me interested till the end. I love highland romance novels and I hope to see some more from this author.

LOL

How could the performance have been better?

She read it as if every sentence was an orgasmic sensation. It is really funny to think about it. So as you listen to it, everyone is high strung drama queens and all the people are in constant arousal.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had to listen to it in parts from the constant high strung vibe from the orator. It took a long time to finish. It was like my break in between books - like a few hours then I had to have a break and would listen to something else.

Any additional comments?

The story is very good if you can get past the constant tension of the orator.

Yea! One I finished!

I am so picky when it comes to audiobooks and narrators. This was a great story, it held my attention the whole time. I love this narrator! The only negative is that I felt like it was a little light on the romance.

Good story...narrator lacking

I am only partway through this audiobook but the narration has driven me to review early. I apologize that i have more to say about the narrator than the story. The story is good so far, nothing unique but im biased since this is my bread and butter genre. It takes a lot for me to dislike any type of highland romance. I don't care for how stubborn Fiona is. She's so angry at her husband when she has no choice in the matter. her attitude makes things worse for herself. She does eventually come around which is good and makes the story much more interesting.

The narrator is another story entirely. She does not do men's voices well and almost every sentence comes out like a question. It is annoying and is utterly destroying this experience. She is...I think the best way to describe it would be jerky. In some areas the emotion she tries to convey is completely wrong, and she occasionally gets shrill. In some places she over-articulates so much that you get distracted. It's like she's trying too hard. I don't know if I will ever listen to this or recommend it to anyone else because the narrator is...ugh. Her voice is very pretty, but the fact that every single sentence comes out as a question makes me want to pull my hair out. I can't get past that bit of annoyance. Not worth a credit, but if its on sale for less than 5 bucks just buy it if you can tolerate the constant annoyance.

could hardly put it down

Loved it. I could hardly put it down. Loved the characters in the book.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

This is my first book by Tracy Brogan and I will definitely be reading or listening to more. The story was very real and captivating. And this audio version was wonderful. The Narration was great! Definitely recommended!

Excellent!!

Myles

What does Sarah Coomes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Took some getting used to..I would have preferred Susan Duerden.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When they realized they loved each other.

Any additional comments?

Worth every penny. I hope there is a follow up book.

One of my favorite books!

I love this book. Two people who are forced to marry find a one in a lifetime love.

The accent of Sarah brings the book to life.

I highly recommend this audio book!

A little more than a light Highland romance

I got this one on sale & I'm glad I did. It had a good plot that was a bit different and had more twists and turns than the average Highland romance. And the person who turned out to be the murderer was a surprise, so it wasn't entirely predictable. At first, I really couldn't stand either of the two main characters and it took me several hours in to like either of them at all but by the end, I was rooting for both of them.

The narrator wasn't my favorite, but she wasn't in the "so bad it's distracting" category either. At the beginning of the book, she read so slowly that I almost sped up the recording. During the steamier parts, she overdid it. But overall,she did a decent job.

Wonderful Story

Such a great story and performance I couldn't stop listening! Great characters and plot. I was caught up from the first chapter. The narrator did a superb job of keeping you in the story. Well worth the time to listen.
