The Laird Takes a Bride

The Penhallow Dynasty

De: Lisa Berne

Narrado por: Elle Newlands

Lisa Berne’s Penhallow Dynasty series continues as a Highlander marries against his will—and discovers he may have found the perfect bride.

Alasdair Penhallow, laird of his clan and master of Castle Tadgh, is forced to end his carefree bachelorhood, thanks to an ancient decree that requires him to marry. But Alasdair’s search for a biddable wife comes to a screeching halt when Fate serves up Fiona Douglass. Prickly as a thistle, Fiona challenges him at every turn, rendering herself surprisingly irresistible. Her love would be a prize indeed . . . if Alasdair could accept it.

Fiona gave her heart once, and doesn’t plan to repeat that folly. Yet she finds herself drawn to Alasdair’s intelligence and strength, and the passion he incites goes well beyond her expectations for what’s only a marriage of expedience. Despite herself, she’s falling in love with her husband.

But there’s a high wall between them—and Fiona’s not sure it can ever be torn down.

Another good addition to the series

The Hero has some pain, the Heroine some pride! He heals from his pain, she grow into her self. Married without choices, given second chances. With angst, laughter, and a HEA.

Awesome story

I loved how the story was first and had twists and turns. I felt sad for Fiona, but loved her resolve and how she honored how she felt.

Such a Love Story

I loved this book. This is the 2nd Lisa Berne book I’ve listened too. It was so fantastically written and the narrator Elle Newlands made it come alive with her Scottish brogue. The main characters go through some heart wrenching trials to find their true love between them. I felt the emotions deeply. And I shed more than a few tears while they sorted out their feelings. Enjoy this book.

Quick & Witty Highland Romance

Very enjoyable 2nd book from a new author. I bought this book and the first book in the series on the recommendation of author Cathy Maxwell and was not disappointed! The writing style is quick and witty and the heroine is an older independent lass not afraid to speak her mind. Marvelous! Recording is wonderful.

Interesting twists and so much emotion

I loved the narration and the story was very unique with tweaks to the usual forced marriage/marriage of convenience trope. The nod to "The Bachelor" was amusing. The characters had to deal with so much loss and betrayal to grow. It was heartbreaking and beautiful. I can't wait for future titles.
