Julie Garwood
Overflowing with all of the majesty and intrigue of medieval glory days, this magnificent New York Times best seller is a captivating story of passion and loyalty, justice and honor. Beloved storyteller Julie Garwood steps back to the silver-shrouded Highlands of her classic tale The Secret - and hails the return of two unforgettable warriors: Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan.
In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, lives and lands would fall into upheaval at the hands of a power-hungry British ruler and his violent minions. One victim of the scourge is innocent Gillian, who is a mere child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford, determined to recover a jeweled box for the despotic King John, is furious when the precious treasure slips through his fingers - only to be lost for more than a decade.
Now a beautiful young woman, Gillian finds the key to resolving her past in handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen, and with the friendship of a new ally, Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last fights the unscrupulous Baron Alford, laying claim to her home, her family, and her father's reputation. But in the presence of the mighty warriors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest...betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat...and the greatest risk of all is surrender - to the deep emotions of unexpected love.

Gillian and Brodrick are definitely two opposites that attract. They are two strong willed people that have some very funny conversations. I absolutely loved one of the conversations after the marriage. I don't want to give anything away but after they marry and she gets mad and says "I was married on a horse" I couldn't breathe - I was laughing too hard!
The narrator did an excellent job. As with the first book there are some people who didn't like the narration but I thought it was great. She did each character with a different voice and that's not easy. Some people complained she whispered a lot. As far as I heard she only whispered when the book said "he/she whispered"
I'm glad I listened to this one.....I loved it!!
Love the Highlands' Lairds

This epic adventure captures your imagination from the very start and continues to do so as you picture all the amazing characters and then the plot throws in greed, kidnapping, deception, defiance, danger and couples it with romance, passion, tenderness, compassion and sacrifice. Add some very humorous dialogue and finally finish it all off with the talented narration of SD and you get this exciting romantic tale which will share with you the amusing romantic downfall of two Scottish Lairds as their hearts are forever captured.
Worth a credit? Well, for any historical romance lover it's a definite YES, YES and YES - yes to the credit, yes to the 16 hours of creative listening pleasure and yes to the overflowing storyline of yet another brilliant book by Ms Garwood.

There were so many facets to the story and the attention to detail was absolutely wonderful. The way she wrote it was at a pace where we could enjoy life with the characters, not just rush through the story. I loved getting to know the secondary characters and the stories that went along with them. There were a couple things in the book that were fairly predictable, but there were actually a few really good surprises. And oh my gosh, little Alec... loved that kid! Lol
The narrator did a decent job, though there were a few characters voices that we’re pretty funny. I guess a person can only come up with so many different voice variations for people and some of them are just super silly. For the most part, though, she did a fine job.
This was, for me, absolutely without question, worth the credit.
Instantly captivating!!

What other book might you compare Ransom to and why?
The secretWhich scene was your favorite?
The end - I don't want to give it away but the entire end scene was so cute and romantic.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and it definitely hit my heart stringsAny additional comments?
Narration is better than in the Secret but men's voices are still odd at first. Susan does such a great job with all the other narration you forget the slightly less perfect voices. Her portrayal of Alec is genius. The author does an outstanding job creating a 5 yr old that you can't help but love.I was slightly disappointed with some aspects of the story and felt there needed to be more with Bridget and Ramsey.....needs forth book in series!
Another perfect installment in this trilogy
