Wee William's Woman

Clan MacDougall. Book 3

By: Suzan Tisdale

Narrated by: Brad Wills

Scotland, 1345.

They call him Wee William. Though he stands nearly seven feet tall, with arms and legs the size of tree trunks and hands as big as buckets, there is nothing wee about him. His scowl alone is enough to make most men's bones rattle with fear. And women, rather than swooning, tend to run in the opposite direction.

The giant Highlander is a self-proclaimed bachelor who has sworn for years that there isn't a woman in all of Scotland worth shaving his beard for, and for good reason. Years ago, after a bonny young lass broke his heart and left his dignity in shreds, he swore never again to put it in such peril. As a testament to his sincerity, he vowed never again to shave his beard.

Then he met her. In a single heartbeat, Wee William was lost. Forever lost to a brown-haired beauty with gray-blue eyes brimming with tears - a woman in need.

On her wedding night, Nora realized she made a terrible mistake. She had agreed to wed Horace Crawford when he promised her younger siblings would live with them. He soon broke his word and sent them away. Horace soon proved a harsh, cruel husband who owned no heart, nor a shred of decency.

On a dark, cold winter's night, when Nora had almost given up hope of ever saving her siblings and herself, God answered her prayers in a most peculiar way. Through a band of fierce Highlanders on a mission to retrieve small but priceless treasures. Treasures she had unwittingly harbored.

Little did the Highlanders know they would return with more than those treasures - they would return with Wee William's Woman.

Good narration

This was my favorite book of this series. I had read it a few months back and while doing some painting projects around the house and decided I would listen to the story while doing so. Sometimes hearing the book being narrated does nothing for the story, however that was not the case with this book. Wee William is huge, and he is quite the warrior, yet he's also man that understands worthwhile values in life. It's these very values that he wants, and and yet simultaneously he fears responsibility of that endears me to Wee William. To him being a husband and having family is the most important thing a man can do in his life. What's not to love about that? He worries more about what he considers his shortcomings rather than focusing on what it is he has to give someone he loves .... namely Nora. There were times I laughed out loud at the turmoil William had as he came to terms with his feelings. Also, when Duncan's wife goes into labor I found humor in Duncan and William's reactions to the birth. This is by far my favorite book of the series. I enjoyed Williams character in the previous books and he did not disappoint in this book.

nicely done

good solid story if not a bit predictable. But then again - u can only rewrite history so many times.

Great story and excellent performance

Great story and excellent performance!! I have enjoyed the story very much especially due to the outstanding narration. I recommend it.

One of my favorites in the series

Wee William has always been one of my favorites. I really liked this book. Very much!

I have to comment on the audio production. Brad Wills is fantastic! There was one section that the narrator "did over" but his first attempt was left in. We heard both the original and the correction. Unfortunately, minor things like this appear in the whole series.

A pet peeve of mine: "He hung himself" should be "He hanged himself." Editors should pick that up.

Enthralling series

I read the entire series, really enjoyed the continuing story. Very imaginative writer, and the narrator was very good.
