The Touch of Her Hand

Highlander Heroes Series, Book 1

By: Rebecca Ruger

Narrated by: Stewart Crank

For more than a decade, while the First War of Scottish Independence rages, fierce warrior Conall MacGregor has dreamed of the revenge he will have against the man who robbed him of his family and home. To this end, he abducts the daughter of his enemy, hoping to force a marriage and reclaim what is rightfully his. He has no idea that the stubborn lass will turn his world upside-down, and that he will be the one held captive.

Half-English Tess Munro has no plans to shame her father and people by wedding MacGregor the Murderer. Despite her tremendous fear and a regrettable liking of his kisses, she staunchly refuses to wed him. She tries often to escape, both Conall and the hateful people of Inesfree, who leave no question about their absolute distrust and dislike of the Munro prisoner.

Soon, Conall's reasons for stealing Tess grow more distant, and Tess's desire to flee begins to fade, but a threat greater than their own pride will challenge the very fragile existence of their growing desire for each other.

Conall MacGregor has conquered many enemies, but can he win the heart of one stubborn lass?

Contains mature themes.

LOVED

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. One of the reasons I loved it is because it is based on historical facts around my ancestors Clans. It gives us a snippet of what their lives were like, the challenges, the battles, the suppression of women. A wonderful story is woven in those times & is probably very close to real possibilities. Narrators excellent also. Thank you for book well written.

Great storyline

Was impressed the the historical
Reference and story line. Narrator was great with the voice variances.

Very Engaging with Well Developed Characters

It's really refreshing to have a storyline where the female character is strong in her convictions and doesn't completely cave after a single, mind-melting kiss.
It's equally refreshing to have the male character that is strong but doesn't default to the stereotypical 'might is right' domineering jerk.
There are scenes in this story that I've not experienced in others! *See the May festival!
Narrator was brilliant will well developed voices for all the male and female characters!
Terrific!

Enjoyable Book

Rebecca Ruger is a new author for me. While I enjoyed this book, it took me days to finish it and that's not the norm for me. I think the story could have been shorter and this is not one I will listen to again. Anyway, I enjoyed it and Stewart Crank is a good narrator. Now I am on to the next book in the series.

I love this story!!!!

This is a very good book. I couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s really great. I’ll be listening again.
