The Wickedness of a Highlander

Midnight in Scotland, Book 4

De: Elisa Braden

Narrado por: Ruth Urquhart

A year ago, Sabella Lockhart lived in sheltered gentility as the sister of a Scottish lord. Then her brother's shocking crimes came to light, leaving her with nothing but horrifying memories, unpayable debts, and a blackened name. Before she leaves Scotland, she must face the family he harmed most: the MacPhersons. But when a Highland robbery takes everything but the gown on her back, she's forced to accept help from the MacPherson who despises her more than any other. The one man she can't forget.

Alexander MacPherson hasn't forgotten Sabella Lockhart. She's the reason he was shot, the reason he endured a hellish recovery, the reason he hasn't slept soundly in a year. So, when she turns up stranded and penniless in the village tavern, he offers her a position-as his maid. Nothing could be more satisfying than having her sleeping under his roof and following his commands. Ruthless? Absolutely.

When Sabella rises to his challenge, her fire brings Alexander to his knees. But she doesn't know how ruthlessly he'll fight to keep an angel by his side. Or how dangerous a devil can be when the woman he wants is threatened by a past that won't stay buried.

Contains mature themes.

Review

So ill start by saying that i love Elisa Braden, ive all the Ruined series and this series.
this book vas ok for me, I liked that Sabella didnt want gentle, and didnt want to change Alexander, she accepted him how he is and didnt try to gentle him, and she was naive but not that much that it would have been irratating.
I loved Alexander But and its a big BUT, I feel that I dindnt get enough from his pov, and for me it would have made a big difference in my enjoyment of the book if there was much more from his pov, for me its much more intersting the male pov.
Next, in this book I didnt understand the supernatural, the warnings and all that, becouse I felt that they didnt come to anithing, and I would have liked more danger, more action maybe.
It was hinted that what he did with her things would be a big problem, but in the end it was solved very quickly and almost with no problem, so there wasnt that heart gripping moment.
The ending was rushed.
And finally (I know that it maybe not a very popular opinion) but, I dont like the famele narration, not the narrator herself, but thats it famle narration, for me it would have much much more enjoyble if it was male narrator, much more when its big gruf highlanders, or a duet narration.
that for me 2 stars down ( I didnt want to take more, just becouse I loved the author)
I hope that the next book will be better, and that maybe the author would consider a male narrator
and I hope we wont have to wait that long, like it was with this book (2 years or so, its to long).

Saved the best for last

There is much this genres stories that is repetitive this one however has a gripping storyline. Well done!

Okay

Great Narration. I’ve enjoyed their story. My favorite is the first book. Love Annie and English!! I wish we could have heard more updates about the rest of the family.

So GOOD!!!

This was an AWESOME. book! The Narrator Was perfect. I loved her Scottish accent However I did have to skip over A lot of the 2 sexually explicit scenes

Good Story

Enjoyed this continuation of the series. I would have liked to have know more about Alexander and his past and relationship with Isla from the previous book. I find it hard to believe that with his grand house that Alex didn’t build a bathing room. He had sinks and running water in the kitchen!! Some parts didn’t blend well. Favorite part was the comments from the “crows” via Mrs McBean regarding the crows being impressed that Sabella kept her silks clean while on her knees. Best line in the series!! Performance was fair-most of the male voices were pretty strained and seemed forced.
