The Highlander's Bargain

The Novels of Loch Moigh, Book 2

De: Barbara Longley

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Before he can settle down, blond-haired, blue-eyed Robley of clan MacKintosh needs to taste true adventure. So when the faerie Madame Giselle asks him to retrieve her stolen property in exchange for two enchanted tokens that will whisk him across the centuries, he jumps at the chance.

Nurse and future midwife Erin Durie is broke and alone, thanks to a roommate who skipped town and the psychic gifts that make relationships too intense and painful to bear. Then a kilted man magically drops into her arms, looking for a guide to the 21st century, and she can’t deny the attraction. But magical treachery soon throws open time’s portal once more - and puts a blade to Robley's throat. Now Erin must decide where - or when - her healing powers can do the most good - and whether she can live without her handsome Highlander.

In the second thrilling novel of Loch Moigh, award-winning author Barbara Longley delivers more of the action, adventure, and romance that began in the pulse-pounding True to the Highlander.

Time Travel Back, Forward, and Back Again

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was better than the first in the series (and that's saying a lot). Erin meets a 15th century Highlander, Robbie, who falls from the sky right on top of her. Once she accepts who and what he is and shows him around the 20th century (which boggles his mind, of course) they have fallen in love. Then they are both suddenly sent back to Robbie's time where Erin, who has been training to become a Midwife, finds herself acting as the clan's Midwife. Soon, however, Erin is pulled back to her own time and she and Robbie, who remains in the 15th century, are both miserable. This is not the end of the story but enough for me to divulge.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This story, and the entire series, is filled with wonderful characters in superb stories. My medical background allowed me to read between the lines which helped me feel what Erin was going through.

What about Angela Dawe’s performance did you like?

Ms. Dawe's narration bothered me some during the first book in the series but by the time I got to this one I was used to her and feel she did a wonderful job. There was never a doubt as to who was speaking which can sometimes be difficult to determine.

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

At one point in the book when Erin was distraught about being jerked back to the 20th century without Robbie I must admit to shedding a few tears, even though I always expect a happy ending to every book I listen to or read!

Any additional comments?

I am addicted to Highland romance and this book had the extra bonus of time travel. And medical issues. And the Fey. And special abilities of the characters who are descended from the Fey. I can't wait to listen to the others in this series.

A good listen

I enjoyed the story and the time travel tales. How ever, the narration of the story was not what I am use to listening to. I didn't like the speech patter and the way every sentence was lifted at the end. I really did not like the Scottish accent. But I could do no better. It was much better when no accent was used.

Great

It was a great story. I loved it. I love the books that are in a series, I get to catch up with old characters that I fell in love with. This story was another great one. Barbara Longley has a way with a story. One of my new favorite authors. The reading by Angela Dawe was better than the first book I listened to.

Great Story but . . .

The story is great a twist to the time travel genre. Was a good reason to go back in time and their relationship was beautiful. But the story telling was irritating she did the change in character fine, but I think she was trying for a Scottish lilt to her voice, but only sounds like she is questioning every other sentence.

Great story

I really enjoy Barbara Longley’s books. This is a great continuation following two new main characters while keeping with the original couple. While I love the book the narration leaves something wanting. I do not like this narrator at all. It sounds almost like she’s angry reading and at times like it’s a monotone computer voice reading. Even my husband dislikes the narrators voice and he loves audiobooks. While I can push through and listen (I don’t have time to sit down and read due to babies) my husband cannot. If you’re in a situation where you can’t read it yourself and you can push through the audiobook it doesn’t take away from the wonderful story.
