RenFaire Druids is a time traveling story packed full of action and adventure! This story follows two different hero/heroine tales. First we meet and follow Dall & Emily as they fall in love & fall thru time. The second half of the book has us listening to Peader and Vange on their adventure. Since there are two heroes and two heroines, this story could have been divided into two separate stories, but since it’s packaged together it is a great “bang for your buck” or Audible credit! 😜

I am a big fan of this narrator! Andrew McDermott really brings the story to life with his accent. I always enjoy hearing his range of voices for the different characters. So glad to see him doing more romance novels! 📚 💕

Irish William Shatner!

I couldn't even get through the first chapter! The Narrator made EVERYTHING a question? Every comma was a question mark? Every period was a question mark? I swore I was listening to William Shatner? with an Irish/Scottish brogue? Who failed? The Narrator? or the director? Even describing the dance? was a question? Emily blushed becomingly? (I dunno! You're the Narrator! You tell me!) Vange made witty comments? (If...you say so. Don't ask me!)

I love a good Scottish brogue! But no one talks like that. Except Shatner.... so why would someone READ like that??

Renaissance fair time travel

Two books in one! Emily buys a dress at the Renaissance Fair and falls for a real deal Highlander who is about to be sent back to 16th century Scotland Andrew McDermott brought this story to life brilliantly.

Great Time Travel

I read Renfaire a few years ago and loved it then. But to hear it from a person with a true brogue made me just enthralled with the story. It really made all that I read come more to life than it did before. Andrew McDermont did one wonderful job in reading this great story.

Clean, Fun Highland Romance

This is my first time listening to this author and must be my third time listening to this narrator and both were great. RenFaire is set at a Renaissance Festival controlled by Druids. It's at this festival that Emily and her friend Vange meet Dall who is hiding a secret curse placed upon him by the druids (Obviously time travel...since its a time travel romance). The way they time travel was a novel idea that had me smiling and despite having an interest in the highlands I hadn't actually heard of Kilchurn castle before (Shame on me). All in all a great listen with enough passion, fights between the couples and ups and down to keep me waiting on the next book coming out.

As this is a bundle/omnibus there are two books inside. The second looks at Emily's friend Vange and Dall's son Peader. Both stories were great and I actually preferred Vange and Peader's story as there was a little more action and drama. Book one seemed to set the stage and book two with Vange etc seemed to light the fireworks.

I'm trying to think of what story this is comparable to. To me, it's more innocent than Outlander which I read it being compared to. The only stories I can think of would be (although different genre) Stardust or The Chronicles of Narnia due to the great story and romance but little heat.
