Seduction of a Highland Lass

By: Maya Banks

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Fiercely loyal to his older brother, Alaric McCabe leads his clan in the fight for their birthright. Now he is prepared to wed for duty, as well. But on his way to claim the hand of Rionna McDonald, daughter of a neighboring chieftain, he is ambushed and left for dead. Miraculously, his life is saved by the soft touch of a Highland angel, a courageous beauty who will put to the test his fealty to his clan, his honor, and his deepest desires.

An outcast from her own clan, Keeley McDonald was betrayed by those she loved and trusted. When the wounded warrior falls from his horse, she is drawn to his strong, lean body. The wicked glint in his green eyes ignites a passion that will follow them back to Alaric's keep, where their forbidden love draws them deeper into the pleasures of the flesh. But as conspiracy and danger circle closer, Alaric must make an impossible choice: Will he betray his blood ties for the woman he loves?

Critic reviews

"The second book in Bank's trilogy shows her ability to write fast-paced, sexually charged, emotionally intense romances." ( Romantic Times)

I want more!

The love connection Alaric and Kaleeye share is wonderful. I laugh, cried, and had mix feelings when listening to this book. I loved the BDSM scene between Alaric and Kaleeye..

The narration is great I felt like I was there witnessing everything.

It has everything a romance groupie needs.

Brilliant listen - it had strong characters that were entwined in a passionate and emotional story. However, have your tissues ready because it was heartbreaking too. I thought this was better than the first and I'm happily off to listen to Book 3 but I'm sure they are all exceptional. Give us more more more.

Worth the credit? Oh yea !!

lived it.

it was better than the 1st book in the trilogy. forbidden loves always get me. I did not find it predictable with exception of the last McCabe brother being the last option for the clans to unite.

Loved it...so sweet

You know I wasn't sure what to expect but this was a very good story. Good to see a hero show his vulnerability. Reasd it. You'll like it.

Forbidden lovers highland romance

I enjoyed this book a lot and I was on the edge of my seat to figure out how they were going to make it work. What I didn’t love was the fact that Aleric was promised to another very nice lady and that didn’t seem to stop either party in messing around and falling in love. Because it was a political arrangement, there was this sense of doom throughout most of the book. I really enjoyed the action of the first book and that was lacking a bit here too as the characters spent most of their time in bed (either sick or boinking 😉). Speaking of heat, DAMN this book was HOT! Hotter than #1 with some interesting binding play that I was really not expecting but it worked! Anyway, this forbidden lovers books will give you all the angsty feels you want just know that there is poor Rionna that just seems to get the short end of the stick. I’m interested to read her book next!

Best of the three

Loved it! Alaric is the perfect hero & I love all the relationship between the McCabe brothers

Cried and cried

Not to give anything away, but I was so invested in the characters; I cared about them. This is a testament to the author's storytelling abilities.

I loved this audiobook

This has been my favorite romance audiobook I've heard yet out of about 20 that I've tried. I think I've already listened to it 3 times. It's such a sweet steamy and sad story. There is no inferiorating angst and no constant fighting they actually love each other I wish I could come across another one like this but I have yet to find it.

memorial

wonderful story ! I listen to the first book and it was good but this one makes you laugh and cry! Great story and I enjoyed the reader.

Awesome

The love between the 2 main characters was enormous. The love and strength shown within the clan was even bigger. I very seldom cry while listening to a book but this one had me going through a few Kleenex! This was a very enjoyable listen.
