Publisher's Summary

At age 11, Alex Sinclair pledges an oath to the Duke of Chatham promising to serve and protect his illegitimate daughter, Lucy FitzHarris. Nine years later, the duke unexpectedly takes Alex up on his vow, offering the future Laird of Balforss his daughter's hand in marriage.

Now a man, hotheaded Alex has difficulty convincing Lucy - who would rather starve to death than marry a vulgar Scot - to go through with the arranged marriage. Once Lucy arrives in Scotland, she cannot resist the magic of Balforss or the allure of her handsome Highland warrior.

But when Alex seemingly betrays Lucy right before their wedding, she is tricked into running away. Alex must rein in his temper to rescue his lady from unforeseen danger and Lucy must swallow her pride if she hopes to wed the Highlander she has come to love.

Ok story, annoying narration.

Narrator consistently speaking in downturn tone, which grated on my nerves by chapter 6. Only time it wasn't annoying was when speaking as the characters. Barely made it to the end.

A sweet little highlander romance is always an enjoyable read. I’ll continue with book two next.

Tying the Scot

An enjoyable love story with a great deal of tension. Set mainly in Scotland. I don’t relate to love stories but it contained elements of intrigue.

Tolerable story. Really disliked the narrator.

I didn’t find there was much early character dev or story. The end of the book gets better. The narrator’s tone was really irritating. I ended up listening at 1.5 speed and it that made the odd monotone sound of her voice tolerable. I will not be continuing with the series or this narrator
