Well written story

I enjoyed this audiobook which is the first of this author I’ve read. The characters were well developed and the plot was very good. Great chemistry between Ragnall and Flora with some steamy scenes. I enjoyed the narration too, the accent made it more fun, regardless of it being fake. The special effects such as music of bagpipes , conversations or knocking made the experience more lively.
I’m looking forward to listening to other books in the series
Highly recommended

I enjoyed

I enjoyed listening to this story. I recommend listening to this book. I received a copy but am providing a review on my own.

Running indicates one is guilty. Was that true?

The Lady's Guide to a Highlander's Heart by Emmanuel de Maupassant is a short listen, but well worth the trouble. Upon discovering her father's dead body lying in his bed, Flora Dalreagh, believing the man to whom she has been recently betrothed, Ragnall, is the murderer, runs, with her maid at her side. After leaving a note giving false clues they repair to the family's croft. After living there safely for several years, she returns to his keep in order to exact revenge for her father's death. She falls in love and finds it difficult to believe he is guilty but there are not other suspects, until her dreaded stepbrother gets involved. With Ragnall's blessing, he takes her to her former home where she is treated to examples of his depravity. How can this ever be made right?

Gareth J Davis is the narrator and never a more delicious Highland voice has been heard. He brings life to the story, and is the perfect Ragnall, while lending credence to the other characters. He is the only reader and the story is told well, not suffering from the lack of other voices.

I was invited to listen to a free audio rendition of The Lady's Guide to a Highlander's Heart by the author. All thoughts and opinions are mine.

enemies to lovers

Revenge turns to love. Enlightenment and revelations changed both main character's perceptions of their situations and let love develop and grow. I enjoyed these two strong main characters and their journey to love. I would have liked more. Both main characters frustrated mr until they chose honesty. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing the characters and story to life.

Loved it

Just finished the audiobook… loved it! You can talk to me in a Scottish brogue anytime! Although the book was short the narration was fun and steamy! Highly enjoyable! Would definitely listen to more by this author! ❤️

I received a complimentary audiobook to listen to and voluntarily left a review!

Great performance, great story!

I have read the book a while ago and enjoyed reading it. And I was not sure I would like hearing the book being read by someone. But I was pleasantly surprised, with extra sound effects and music, it was an awesome experience. The narrator did an excellent job!!
I loved the story, and even though the heroin was not the brightest, coming too fast to conclusions, I have to keep in mind she was only a child at the beginning of the book. It was fun to learn about the beginning of “The Lady’s Guide”.

Loved it

I really liked this story about Lady Flora who believes that her betrothed Ragnall is the murderer of her father and flees with her maid. Two years later she returns as a maid and discovers the truth.

I liked the narrator and the sound effects.

Scottish romance with a mysterious murder twist.

This is an enemies to lovers murder mystery romance. Standalone with no cliffhangers.
First you have to know that this is one crazy twisted family tree. Flora had planned on marriage to Calder, then her father had her hand-fasted to Ragnell along with him becoming the future Laird. Then her father is murdered and she runs with the hope to one day avenge his death.
That time has come 2 years later, but life and truth are not what they seem. Great book, it had me hooked right from the start.

Amazing book

The music and story was an amazing journey. The narrator was a joy to listen to.

Wonderful book with an amazing narrator

I just finished up this book and I loved it. The narrator did an amazing job. I loved his accent and his female voices didn’t annoy me. The story was a fun escape. It was predictable, but that is part of the charm of romances. I will definitely be listening and ready more from Emmanuelle de Maupassant. I did receive a free copy of this book, but the review is my own.
