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….

Typical Highland Romance...but oh so good!

This was another typical Highland Romance book – a forced marriage by the King between two opposing clans. (Think Never Seduce a Scot). Although this one was predictable at times, it still had some shocking moments. Some I didn’t even see coming.

Overall I enjoyed this book. I think I enjoyed the mystery just as much as the romance. (This is always a plus for me)

If you like Highland Romance books than this one will not disappoint. It has something for everyone; romance, forced marriages, deception, torn alliances, shocking revelations and a happily ever after.

4 Stars!

Great Romance, Great Mystery

Quick plot overview. We open on Fiona Sinclair's wedding day. She has been betrothed to her most hated rival since birth, Myles Campbell. Their clan's have fought over the current King and the rivalry grew worse since the day of Fiona's mothers death. Fiona believes that Myles father murdered her mother.

1/2 way through the book, Fiona has yet to even show a slight defrosting towards her husband. All the while we know some nefarious plot is being set by Fiona's brothers and without Fiona's knowledge.
There are also great secondary characters which could very well translate into their own stories.

I loved the plot twists and the ah ha moments.
Now the narration by Sarah Coomes was FANTASTIC. I loved her Scots accent for both the men and the women.
I especiially loved Fiona's voice, it reminded me of my mom. especially when she's angry and her husband!! LOL
This was a great listen, and well worth the credit.

Any additional comments?

Not a fan of Scottish novels, wouldn't have read it otherwise. Was a good listen and the plot twists were surprising. If you can tolerate the accents, you should enjoy the story alot.

I seem to be in the minority.....

I liked the story, or rather what the plot was and the idea behind it. However, 3/4 of the book was just the two of them back and forth with the whole angst behavior. I mean, they didn't have as much relationship building as they had relationship conflict so when they finally got past that it was such a relief that I enjoyed the rest of the book so much! I think there just needed to be more meat to their relationship. I loved the character of the aunt. She was my favorite of all of them. The reveal of who the sinister character was left me scratching my head as :::::POSSIBLE SPOILER::::: he wasn't even in the entire story! Ever!! Like, who has the villain not even part of the book!? Not a great reveal. Narration was good.
I got this book on sale for $5 and I don't feel it was worth it. I won't return it but I was disappointed simply because of the dragging out the same thing for so long.

Loved it!

It was a really good read! The story didn’t drag. I read in a comment before purchasing that the main lead gets forced but that was not the case. I hate adultery which was felt by many of the characters.
