Scottish Whisky!

This is the second installment in the "Scottish Whisky" series about Susan and Danny. It is a fairly short quick read/listen and does end with a very dreaded cliffhanger. There are five parts to their story so they need to be read in order. Susan and Danny meet while she is in Scotland with her friend. The begin seeing each other. In this segment Danny gets some tragic news. Heather tries to keep them busy. Susan and Danny make a decision. I enjoyed this story and thought the narrator did a really good job with the accents. I look for to the next segment of Danny and Susan's story.

Romance takes a back seat

Susan and Danny are hitting it off carefully building a relationship until Danny learns that his best friend is injured in a boat crash. The same boat trip that Danny should have been on and would have had it not been for Susan! Faced with guilt and an urgency to reach his friend, Danny rushes to the hospital in Aberdeen. Between David’s condition and stress, Danny and Susan’s time together is passing quickly. Heather continues being Heather – the tour guide hoping to ease everyone’s tension. The time comes when Danny and Susan must decide it a long-distance relationship will work for them or not. What Danny does not share with Susan is his idea of a business opportunity he is hoping to make a reality.
Aila Skye, the author, is masterful at building a story with depth and completeness that leaves the listener wanting more. Careful with her character development, she takes her time building each character fully and completely.
The narrator, Alexa Teebo, gives a solid performance. Her ability to give each character a unique voice makes following the story easy. Her ability to switch from one dialect to another is flawless.
This is a good solid romantic story with an international flair.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook. It was clear and crisp.
