Narrado por: Elizabeth Wiley

Scotland, 1272: Connor MacKiernan, a descendant of the Fae Prince, is a warrior who lives only for honor and duty. Though he's vowed never to marry, that's exactly what he must do to save his sister. Enter a little Faerie magic, and the search for a bride is on.

Denver, 2007: Caitlyn Coryell is having a really bad day - she just discovered her fiance with another woman! Imagine her surprise when she puts on some sexy lingerie and an antique pendant and Connor appears in her bedroom, begging for her help. He offers a simple yet outrageous adventure: travel to his time, marry him, and return home.

But nothing's simple when Cate is trapped in the 13th century. The wedding's delayed, someone's trying to kill her, and in the middle of all this, she realizes she's falling in love with a man who can only be her husband for 30 nights.

5 stars with a better narrator

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The author is new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. This is a sweet, fun, romantic story. I liked all the characters. The narrator is not the best at the Scottish brogue and it is very off-putting in the beginning. I found myself getting used to her voice and reading style and it stopped bothering me. I wish Rosalyn Landor could narrator all historical romances.

Not bad, but could be improved.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, I enjoyed the tale.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband?

When they rescue Connor and his sister and bring them back. I was worried about how it the author would find a way to give us a happy ending.

How could the performance have been better?

The whispers and high pitch of some voices made it difficult to understand all the conversations. When the narrator lowers the volume for whisper or the frequency of her voice to a high pitch it is not understandable at a volume that is comfortable for normal listening.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Evening the conversational volume.

Any additional comments?

There are three brothers who now work with Connor, Tell me about their adventures. Plus I would like a meeting between Connor and Richard. More stories please, with or without the faery connection.

I had fun with this one

I had no expectations when I selected this book except that it would be fun and silly. I love time travel stories because I'm a kid at heart. And it did prove to be fun and silly, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. It helped me pass the time while waiting for the results of my biopsy.

Nice romantic time traveler

What did you like about this audiobook?

It was a good story with good narration.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

I don't feel compelled to continue with the series, but if I catch them on sale, I would probably go for book 2.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The story has good ideas, nice characters, and good execution. I just think it feels a bit boring.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Not wrong - I could listen to her, she was not the best.

Do you have any additional comments?

This is an okay time traveler, but there are just so many better ones (ie - Knight in Shining Armor& KMM Highlanders)

Hits all my wishes for an interesting story

I love medieval historical romances and have recently discovered time travel in this genre to my delight. This hit all my wishes. It has a strong heroine a hot strong alpha male and an interesting story brought to life by great narration. I can’t wait to begin book two.
