Highlander Unmasked

The MacLeods of Skye, Book 2

By: Monica McCarty

Narrated by: Antony Ferguson

Alex MacLeod's virile physique, fearsome reputation, and renowned fighting skills have helped him master to perfection the role of a hardened mercenary. On a secret mission to protect his clan, he must keep his true purpose well hidden. But his dangerous endeavor is threatened by a beautiful woman he saves from outlaws, never dreaming she will appear at court and put his plans in jeopardy.

Meg Mackinnon needs a strong husband by her side to defend her clan's holdings, but her search has been hampered by burning fantasies of the midnight rescuer whose smoldering blue eyes and raw sensuality left her breathless. Alex pretends to be a mercenary with no loyalties, yet he is clearly much more. As Meg challenges Alex to reveal all his secrets, the stakes grow perilously high, especially for the bold woman who dares to unmask a highlander.

Critic reviews

"[McCarty] brilliantly incorporates exciting historical events and personages into a sizzling love story complete with multifaceted characters and a compelling plot." ( Romantic Times)

Another annoying heroine

Miss Monica McCarty, I so enjoy your books! I’ve listened to most of your series. And in all of them, you always write about strong, intelligent, and brave women. But also in your series there is always two stories in which the lady is so strong well so self-centered that she knows she’s right every way, and she always jeopardizes the lives of, the people surrounding her getting killed and then at the end, she becomes true her by saving the male character no no no no no throughout the book in this one I kept hoping she would just stay quiet and do what she’s told. Being intelligent doesn’t mean that she has to do, stupid things. If a man tells you stay quiet, if a man tells you hi so if the man tells you run Dusso, they fly into danger, getting themselves injured or getting a lovable character killed! Or in this case, she got herself almost killed in the process of doing the saving and again she’s always the heroine. because she save the main character while he did all the work throughout the book lol I still enjoy them. Anthony Ferguson I love your narration

good storyline

really hard to listen to the machine gun delivery of the narrator. good voice but needs more evenly paced delivery.

Oh the MacLeods..... they just get better + better

Who wouldn't love a pained, tormented handsome Highland hero torn between love and duty. Good romance story with likeable characters, well written and narrated. It definately had the mmm.... factor.

Worth the credit - Absolutely YES.

Why take so long to be unmasked

This is just a okay highlander romance story that could have been so much better if it was not so long. This is not historical lit, it's a romance between a hero who has issues between his duty to his clan and what he should easily be able to determine is his great love. I think the pace given the circumstance of the story could have move along faster. It is one of the things stopping me from moving onto to the final book. I am sure I'll purchase the next book. So if highland romance (not a steamy romance) but good romance is what you have a need for, then this series,may be for you. I would recommend Karen Marie Moning's highlander series for fun and romance and Maya Banks steaming romanic highlander stories.
