First Thought when Finished: Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage made me smile, laugh, cry, grrr, and in the end grin like a Cheshire cat!

Overall Thoughts: I loved, loved, loved, loved Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage. I was afraid that I wouldn't like Mac but that man was so swoon-worthy and damaged that one couldn't help but fall hard! Isabella was so strong and I appreciated her want to protect herself despite loving Mac. She made him fight for her and dang it that made me love them more. This was an emotional story (so far both books in this series have been) but the payout was worth it!

So y'all know I call her Angela "freaking" Dawe already so there isn't much more that I can say! She freaking rocks the narration and is one of my all around favorite narrators!

Fall in Love with the Mackenzie Brothers Again

Where does Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie: Highland Pleasures Book 1, by Jennifer Ashley and Narrated by Angela Dawe will leave you breathlessly wanting…

This book by Jennifer Ashley, was my first exposure to the author. I enthusiastically must say that before I finished book 1, I had already purchased the entire series, anxiously reading/listening to Angela Dawe’s masterful performance! I am currently in the second half of book 3, and loving it!

Jennifer Ashley has a wonderfully vivid imagination as is reflected throughout the Mackenzie Brother’s series. She artfully illustrates her characters and their environments so that the reader is magically transported into the book to observe each, as their stories unfold.

Each wild and somewhat mad Mackenzie brother is absolutely, and unconditionally devoted to his family, despite growing up with an abusive father. They are all large, and powerful of stature; each one uniquely gifted. They are proud Scotsmen, who live life with a hearty fervor. They are faithful, caring, attentive, and fiercely protective. While they share these traits, as the glue that binds them; they are vastly different in temperament and personality.
The women in their lives are strong, intelligent, and accomplished, making the journey delicious.

A must read for those who enjoy Historical Romance Novels.

Wonderful Story

What did you love best about Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage?

It was a sweet story and different from most of the 'Scottish or Highlander' type romance novels. The family members and characters in the book are people you will miss. They are a very interesting family.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage?

The say she was whisked away and enticed to elope at her coming out.

Which character – as performed by Angela Dawe – was your favorite?

Lady Isabella, of course!

Any additional comments?

The narrator makes this a delightful way to spend time.

Good to hear the Mac Isabella story

loved this second novel in the series. I am glad to understand what happened with Mac and Isabella and how it turned out in the end. Another good story.

Faithful Mac is so adorable

Such a beautiful redemption story. I love couples who stay faithful during a separation. Mac proved his devotion in so many ways. These two really had some exciting chemistry . Steamed up my kindle.
The narrator was great although I had to listen at 1.5 to not get bored.

Not as good

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, the story can be told by reading the other books in the series.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jennifer Ashley again?

yes

Which character – as performed by Angela Dawe – was your favorite?

All of them. She is amazing at making each character have a distinct voice and is consistent throughout the series

Could you see Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Pretty good!

I really liked it, its realism may bother some but it's what makes it so relatable because we make so many mistakes in life and take things and loved ones for granted so much. All without realizing it.
