The Recruit

A Highland Guard Novel, Book 6

De: Monica McCarty

Narrado por: Antony Ferguson

Fiery, aggressive, and bold, Kenneth Sutherland is a true champion-skilled with any weapon and driven to win. Now Kenneth is ready for his greatest challenge: Joining Robert the Bruce's secret army to fight among the elite. Kenneth's best chance to attain that honor is by winning the Highland Games. Focused and prepared for victory, he is caught off guard by a lovely wisp of a woman - and a stolen moment of wicked seduction. Her innocent arousal and her shameless hunger fire his blood. He will win his place in the guard-and in Mary of Mar's bed. The ruggedly handsome hero-in-the-making stirs a heart that should know better.

Mary vows that her surrender will be sport only-no promises, no heartbreak, just one night of incredible passion. Nothing, she swears, will persuade her to give up her hard-wrought independence and put her fate in the hands of another powerful man. But with every gentle touch and heart-pounding kiss, Kenneth makes her want more. Now Mary wants his heart. But is this determined champion willing to surrender everything for love?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The sixth book in the highly regarded Highland Guard series is filled with believable characters, intense emotions and a fast-paced intricate plot seamlessly interwoven with romance and plenty of historical detail." ( RT Book Reviews)

another great read!

Monica has done a wonderful job continuing the Hughland Guard series!!I highly recommend this title!

From beginning to end

Wonderful From beginning to end.
I travelled through all the emotions, and aavored the hope and love

Reckless Recruit

Reckless meets Meek. A night of passion changes their attitude. Throughout the book Kenneth could not control his temper or recklessness until almost the end of the book. Mayhap a “typo” but Mary said her child was born when she was 14 she is now 26 and her son is 13. 26 -14 = 12 not 13. That was annoying (but yet again I always pay attention to dates or ages)lol. All in all it was an interesting story full of action and adventure.

Against the odds!

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

Kenny really proves not only his metal but his loyalty! I actually liked this one best in the series, because the bride wasn't the drop dead gorgeous like the others.

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

The Guard Series; its great how the books overlap to tell the story, this way, things missed in one book are made clearer in the next.

What about Antony Ferguson’s performance did you like?

Antony has a fantastic accent and can really define each character. His inflections and expressive voice keep you interested in the story throughout.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A worthy opponent!

Any additional comments?

I love how Monica also includes the history at the end of her books. This helps to show how close to the real thing her stories are, plus teaches about Scottish history and culture. I can't read a book often, and I have a lot of books on tape so that I can still have books in my car, while I'm at work, or just relaxing. I always feel enriched after one of Monica's books, they're not just fiction and adventure; I learn from them!!

Wow. Highly recommended!

Loved the love story regarding an epic battle for true love highlander style. Wish there had been more closure but that's what the rest of the series is for! Wish they'd get a better narrator! But it is doable and not so bad, I've heard worse.
