Publisher's summary

Scotland, 1344.

She believes men are not honorable nor are they kind-until she meets one that changes her heart forever.

Betrayed by lies told before her birth, Aishlinn is raised by a harsh and cruel stepfather. Her life is forever changed one horrifying night when she is forced to flee England for the safety of the Scottish Highlands. Rescued by a fierce band of highland warriors, Aishlinn soon learns that honorable men do exist. She finds a strength she never knew she possessed and it will be tested to the limits when she is forced to make a heart-wrenching decision…allow the English to kill those she loves, or surrender for the crime she committed.

She is everything he never knew he wanted in a woman…

As a fierce highland warrior, Duncan McEwan has survived numerous battles, bed countless women, and survived a horrific storm at sea. He has scaled mountains and even survived hand-to-claw battle with a cat-o'mountain. But none of that could have prepared him for how his life forever changed one fateful spring day when he rescued a lass from a freezing stream. He will do anything to keep her as his own and will risk everything to keep her out of the hands of the English.

.Highland Self Discovery

This highland adventure is set in 1329 Scotland. This is not a Historically detailed story but rather a light romance with some Historical elements.

This is the story of Aishlinn, who was treated cruelly (emotionally & physically) by her step-father, brothers, and an Earl. This story really focuses on Aishlinn’s self-esteem issues and shows her journey of self discovery filled with adventure and romance. The “hero” (Duncan) originally finds Aishlinn to be a frightened and abused young woman. He helps her to overcome her insecurities and demonstrates how patience, tenderness, and love can transcend abuse.

My only negative about this story is that by the end of the book there are still a few unanswered questions. Primarily details about some people and events in her past. Maybe they will be answered in the other books in the series? Hope so.

This is definitely a Cinderella style romance. This is a love story that is more romantic than sexual and, of course, they lived happily ever after!

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I'll be honest, I do not normally listen to Historical Romance, I picked this book as parts of an Audible Romance Category Challenge. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least. It started a little slow but it picked up and the story & romance were great. The characters were strong, honest and down right good which I loved. The romance & sex was steamy too.

The narration was great. I'm not expert in Scottish accents but she sounded great to me. I enjoyed both her male & female voices with the accent.

WOw!! What a Great Beginning!!

This Book has it all. Cruelty, survival, rescue. Lost and Found. And last but not least Love.
This is a well developed story, it introduces us to the clan and tells the story of a young maidens life. Not a explicit sex story, just hints. Recommend the read/listen. Well worth the credit, now off to read book 2

12.5 hours for $2.00!!! SOLD!

Yes, it's only $2, no idea why. It wasn't a great literary classic but it kept me wanting to listen. Our leading lady has had a tough life, and I mean tough! Forced to defend herself one day against an evil man she fled on horse to Scotland hoping to find refuge before the English soldiers found her....the evil man she fended off was a Barron, and she was a simple kitchen worker, with no right to refuse the advances of a man of his station.

While running for her life she comes across brawny highlander men who take one look at her beaten form and pledge to protect her, after all if they didn't their moms would skin them alive!

The story of her past unfolds and things are kind of predictable and it is a bit repetitive that the girl thinks she is ugly, and plain because she has been psychologically tortured her whole life but I say again, 12.5 hours for $2... How can you go wrong????

Wonderful Love Story

I Loved Laiden't Daughter: Clan MacDougall, Book 1, by Susan Tisdale and narrated by Erin Jones. So sweet and tender. The characters were ones that I will remember for a long time, as they were brought to life by the talented narrator, Erin Jones.
This book really illustrated to me the value of a good narrator.
Credit worthy...Yes!

Splendid Fairy Tale in the Scottish Highlands

I am a lover of historical fiction, but this one was outside what I usually listen to . . . so happy that I bought it! The narration is perfect; the tale of young Aishlinn whose mother died when she was five tugs at your heart from the beginning. I learned a lot about the Scottish clans and the brutality of the English upper class. The story of Laiden and Aishlinn's heritage and their family in the Scottish Highlands was compelling. The romance was true romance, not graphic sex. And I really appreciated that. It made the book absolutely beautiful, just as it should be. Yet the appetites, coarseness and humor of the Scottish countrymen and women are not left out . . . that's what makes this such a splendid book . . . You will grow to absolutely love the Scottish highlanders.

Excellent

Excellent, wonderful, the most riveting and entertaining story I've read in a long time. Erin Jones did an excellent job narrating. It's to bad this author's other two books recorded are by a different narrator. I will pass on them as I prefer woman readers.

Pleasant surprise

I was surprised to enjoy this book so much. The blurb doesn't do it justice. There are some twist and turns in this story that make it truly interesting. I couldn't stop listening. Also the romance was so so sweet!! It was slowly built and kind of innocent. I loved it. Highly recommended.
