Men in Kilts

By: Katie MacAlister

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Length: 13 hrs

Publisher's summary

So far, Kathie Williams has made a good showing as the only American at a mystery writers' conference in Manchester - what with that falling asleep in public thing behind her. The sight of Iain MacLaren wakes her up. Clad in a deliciously woolly sweater, the burly Scotsman seems to be holding up a wall at the cocktail party. So Kathie makes her move...and winds up stark naked with him in bed, where his thick Scottish brogue, thick manly chest, and thick...other parts...drive her to do things she's never done before. Like fall in love. And if things aren't moving fast enough - and on the wrong side of the road, no less - Kathie is about to visit Iain's sheep farm in the Scottish Highlands and meet his sons. She's feeling a wee bit nervous. Because she can't tell where this mad affair is going - except north.

Critic reviews

"MacAlister once again produces an engaging story that has many laugh-out-loud moments. The characters are all pleasingly unique, and the hero is all man." ( RT Book Reviews)

HILARIOUS

I am here to tell you this is one of the funniest reads / listens in a long time. Made me laugh out loud so much people looked at me funny in waiting rooms. So worth your time.

Sweet American meets Scot love story

It's a little dated, but it was a good solid story, I chuckled, groaned at her perceived angst and smiled at their true affection for each other, what more can you ask for in a romance book? Yeah go ahead and use your credit.

Hilarious...then not so much!

Every woman who has ever read a Highland romance has had fantasies about a sexy man in a kilt! This stories had great moments of hilarity about that very fantasy. I really did laugh out loud! BUT, the heroine in this story was overly dramatic, behaved like a teenager instead of a 37 year old professional woman, and cried a lot! Overall it was a fun book. I just prefer the female lead to be a bit stronger.

Boy or Girl, Kathie got a dog?

Loved this book but there needs to be a Book 2. Actually, this could be a series. The narrator was excellent, story line was excellent. It stopped too soon. Iain and Kathie need to continue.

Brilliant narration, but

I kept waiting for the main character to become less self-centered. Nope. Didn’t happen. I finished the book to allow the point of the story to come to light. Nope. I enjoyed the description of the Scottish Highlands, the sheep, and the dogs. I enjoyed the narration. I did not enjoy the story with no point or ending.

Narrator dialect

I love All Katie Macallister writes. However in this story the narrator had the Scottishcharacters speak with an Irish brogue. Very annoying

Fun easy listening!

I loved this sweet love story with the usual twists and turns, and plot! But the narrator kept it lively and interesting with her voice! The characters were well written and and I fell in love with Ian too!
I like to read a lighthearted fluff book every once in a while, and this one for the bill perfectly!
I recommend this book for a fast, fun, read!

A whole new side of Katie MacAlister's writing

I love Katie and Cassandra's books. This was an interesting diversion. I loved the facts about Scottish sheep farming. I am sure she did a lot of research and it shows in the information throughout the story. I have been to Scotland and some of my heritage is from there. Also her references about the kilts added a lot to the story for me. The steamy scenes were quite an education.

Struggle to finish it

narrator was rough to listen to the way she enoucieted her words. But I made it through

Why so annoying

The main character makes me want to pull out my hair. She's soo annoying, sometimes she wasn't too bad but most of the time I couldn't stand her.
