When a Scot Ties the Knot

Castles Ever After

De: Tessa Dare

Narrado por: Carmen Rose

On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: She invented a sweetheart.

A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter...and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.

Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep - handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters...and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

Fiction becomes Reality

This was a fun read. Carmen Rose narrated it perfectly, and I love her Scottish accent.

Some of Maddie’s letters to her fictional captain are included at the beginning of the book and they’re hilarious.

The characters are rich, I loved them all. It’s a great storyline: funny, poignant, tender and sensitive. Very well-written, it’s an enjoyable book to read. I recommend it as well as the first two books in the series.

wonderful story

love the narrative and the story. the characters were likeable. most enjoyed at the end when she finally puts it together.

Love the story

This was a wonderful story with surprisingly vivid love making scenes. The narrator was spot on with the accents.

Beautiful story!

Loved the storyline! Loved all the characters. Beautifully written! Going to look up more books by this author.

Great reading, ok story

I loved the reader, she did a great job with the accent and foreign words (as far as I can tell). the story was ok, worth finishing, but I the heroine seemed to get over her issues awfully quickly. Great hero.

Funny, Hot, Steamy

The narrator was EXCELLENT...she made the book for me. I was laughing out loud at many points. Steamy enough that I wouldn't listen without ear buds!

One of my favorite books of all time!

I've read (listened to) A LOT of books in this genre, and this one continues to be an all-time favorite. Carmen Rose's narration is fantastic, seamlessly shifting between a British and Scottish accent, and she adds so much to an already well written story. There are some laugh-out-loud funny moments, plenty of varied spice, truly endearing moments, and a very engaging storyline with a beautiful and satisfying conclusion. I've already listened to this book a number of times, and I don't get tired of it. It's my go-to when I want to listen to a book I know I'll enjoy. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Lovely plot, perfectly executed.

This story is fun and heartwarming. The characters aren’t connected to any other books, so it works well as a standalone story. There are a lot of great side characters that provide endless amusement and a break from the romance. Injured soldiers and a cooky aunt and lobsters blubbing make for a lot of fun.

Loved this story!

One of my favorite historical Romances ever! I have read a lot of books in this genre, this book ranks in my top 3! Loved it so much! The narrator was wonderful as well! What a great performance. I could not stop listening. Warning: it will leave you wanting more.

Enjoyed it

Nice story. Liked the narrator. Nice to hear a clever woman and a man that embraces her
