Nearly killed while trying to win back his ancestral home, Black Richard MacCullough is left scarred and mangled; but some scars run far deeper than mere skin. No longer the handsome devil or kind man of his youth, now he focuses solely on rebuilding everything that was lost to the brutal Chisolms and traitorous MacRays. Revenge - while not nearly as important as keeping his clan from starving - is the only thing that keeps his bruised heart beating.

The Bastard
I have loved this series through all 4 books! Alexa Aston is an excellent writer who pays attention to even the smallest details, and this collaboration with Brad Wills makes for a double 5 star experience! I confess, the cover art caught my eye immediately upon seeing it. I'm not sure who the artist is, but they are very talented! The guy on the front is just yummy to say the least. 💗 Once again I just transposed him into the Quil of the story even though he doesn't have Quil's raven locks. Excellent audiobook! Both author and narrator deserve a 5+ Star rating.

Much Enjoyed!
Alexa had written another exciting story of the King’s Cousins! She is very talented! Brad Wills is my favorite narrator! He breathes life into the story like no other! When he does each character, I know immediately who is speaking whether it be male, female, servant or otherwise. I especially enjoy hearing his children’s voices. What a great actor!
