Absolutely amazing

A clear winner, I love this story, please please please give it a try, I will not ruin this for anyone.

WOW I JUST LOVED IT!!

Where does The Arrow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The story ranks very high, BUT Narrator, Antony Ferguson is Awful. He really cannot sound like a female or Childs voice He is horrible in that area.

What other book might you compare The Arrow to and why?

I am not sure. I have to think about that.

Would you be willing to try another one of Antony Ferguson’s performances?

No Not really!! I keep buying his books with the hopes he will improve on the female voices but so far he hasn't!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It did both I laughed and I cried!!

Any additional comments?

The Arrow is my favorite story so far. It is perfect in every department, characters, romance, funny, adventurous, secrets and a tad of angst, not to much. I love the ending epilog. I felt like I was there in each and every scene with "Arrow" Gregor MacGregory the Highland Guard Marksmen and Archer and Cate Lochmaben or is that really her name, Cate has big secrets as to her identity. Gregor finds her trapped and staving in a well after her village was attacked by the English. Cate was only 15 at the time. Six years later at age 21 Cate goes after her man. Gregor is know to be the handsomest man in Scotland and his wee ward wants him for her own. The story is very funny at times and very sad at times. This is one sexy hot story and I love that Monica McCarty concentrated on the romance side of this story and not the war between Scotland and England. I loved that the couple was actually stationary at the castle and not moving around while fighting the war England. This is My favorite in the Highland Guard series so far!!!

Good, But ...

To me this book is not as good as the previous ones. There is action in the beginning, but very short and no real mystery to this story. Gregor was too weak when Cate approached him about the children. His character is not as strong as the other Guards. So, this story is good, but I hope the next one is better.

another good addition to the series

I read many reviews on Goodreads who hated Cate but I thought she was a great match for the "most handsome man in Scotland ". I could have done without the episode in the ale house, but it worked out all right in the end. Off to the next book in the series. This is a solid 4 stars and a must read if invested in the series.

It's Sooooo good!!!! Loved it

The story line was fantastic! Loved the characters. This was one of my favorite stories!
