Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Hannah Howell, a classic love story of a Scottish hero too wild to be tamed and the woman he's destined to set free....

Pleasance Dunstan is used to silently bearing the cruelties put upon her by her thoughtless family. But nothing can prepare her for the greatest indignity of all: being sold into servitude to a man as wild as Tearlach O'Duine. His untamed ways are whispered of throughout town, and he has set his sights on Pleasance to be more than his servant. He will have her in his bed.

Pleasance could escape this fate with a word, but her fierce pride keeps her silent. Instead, she follows her new master to the rough lands where he has made a home and finds a world beyond any she has ever known - a world of desire. For though he is her captor, only Tearlach can show her how freeing true passion can be...and while her servitude to him will one day end, nothing can stop the binding of their hearts....

Contains mature themes.

dear lord do yourself a favor of and don't do this

im almost at a lost as to where I should begin with this absolutely massive train wreck its just horrid ,so female character is attached and almost raped in an insane number of chapters by different men im absolutely 💯 serious about that and it is rather a drawn outand graphically disgusting scenes that are all by random menand the hero is absolutely not a hero he never listened to her asking and pleading him to not seduce her( because she loves him and doesn't want to hurt worse from a broken hart of him not loving her back but also she is afraid and also he is awful pushes or simply starts doing whatever sexual things he wants with her saying stop it no please do not so its super fucked up along with way worse then that please don't make th mistake ladies gentlemen like I did listen snd learn from my fuck up!

Really enjoyed

I enjoyed the story. I did feel really annoyed with the Scott and how far he went to try to punish pleasants. Narrator did a really good job, loved the accents.

Great

This is a wonderful story! Enjoy the characters and Ruth Urquhart the reader.. wishing for a fallow up on this family.

Great for work

I’ve read this before and own the book but I really enjoyed listening to it.

Disappointing....

I love Hannah Howell books, so was excited to listen to another one. However, this book was horrible. I even checked a couple times to confirm this was actually written by her. The storyline was okay and had potential to be a good read. Unfortunately, the heroine was spineless, the hero cared only about himself, and many scenes lacked substance and believability. Quite disappointing.

Great!!

The story was fun to listen to. I liked the characters and the narrator did a good job.

Good story

The female lead started out as weak but evolved as the story went forward and discovered her voice. The treatment from her family, with the excception of none brother, was horrendous, and she shouldn't have felt any loyalty. The male lead was stubbornly focused on his bruised ego. Eventually, he got it together, and the story progressed well as the two grew together. Overall, it's a good book. Narrator did a good job.

No joy

There is angsty romance and then there is devoid of all joy, fun, and romance. MMC is unlikable being that he thinks “no” means “keep trying.” He forces his attentions on her, talks down to her, uses and abuses her, and shows zero respect. FMC didn’t bother me as much but she wasn’t interesting either.

This was just bad all around. Narration was meh.

Just no

Well he saves her from being raped twice and then relentless forces himself on her using his seductive skills …. She’s apparently so turned on by him unexpectedly touching her all the time she can’t help herself. Also he treats her very poorly but she assumes it’s her fault because she initially rejected him and feels guilty about it so she just decides to endure the abuse and prove herself worthy of him.

this was an awesome book

this was a awesome book, I really enjoyed the story and all the hidden jewels
