About this listen

They call him the Devil....

He is the most notorious laird of Scotland: fierce, cold, deadly...and maybe even worse. Yet Evelinde has just agreed to wed him. Anything, she thinks, is better than her cruel stepmother. Though Evelinde should be wary of the rumors, she can't help but be drawn to this warrior...for the Devil of the Highlands inspires a heat within her that is unlike anything she has ever known.

They may call him whatever they wish, but Cullen, Laird of Donnachaidh, cares only for the future of his clan. He must find a wife, a woman to bear him sons and heed his commands. He has no need for beauty or grace, but one taste of his lovely bride's sweet lips and the sultry feel of her skin arouse an untamed passion. Perhaps there's more to marriage than he thought.

good story - wrong voice

Wonderful story line but Marianna Palka voice is way to mundane for this story. She has such a monotone voice you almost lost the story.

love the story but...

the story is great I love it however the narrator's voice.... it is very well for a lack of a better word monotone. I will finish the story but I will make sure my next book is not read by her.

A Good Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the book to a friend either in e-reader format or typical book format but i'm not to sure about the audio format. Because there were some character voices that were a bit annoying. But the overall story was good.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A moment that moved me i'm not sure of but there were parts of the book that made me laugh and smile especially when the main character was telling her husband off, it was quite humorous.

Any additional comments?

This book was good it had humor, romance, and a good story line to back it up.

Cute

This was a light and easy listening experience with a bit of romance, a bit of suspense and a bit of history thrown in. I thought the narrator did a fine job reading this book.

good book, horrible narrator

I think I liked the book but it was really hard to get into it, because the narrator was so completely monotone throat the whole book. I don't know how anybody can listen to that narrator for several hours but I did it while traveling across the state. I will never listen to another book spoken by that narrator ever again.

My favorite!

This book has been a favorite since I first found it years ago! I enjoyed listening, but sometimes got confused as to who was speaking. I will always recommend this book!

Great book.

This story kinda reminded me of some of Julie Garwood highlander books. Which I love, so I was very happy to have discovered it.

Narrator should find a new profession!

I have never heard a more horrific narration. It is hard to believe that the director could let this pass. It is almost like it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the audiobook or the author or Audible itself - that is just how bad it was. Absolutely disgraceful!

The story itself was OK, but I would recommend you buy the book, not the audiobook.

Good writing mired in bad reading

The reader sounded like her high school English teacher had told her to read aloud in class. I won’t call it narration because there is no nuance to distinguish the performance from reading aloud. She handles the dialogue of the two main characters okay, but the descriptive narrative in between is stilted and flows like she is seeing the words for the first time. It made it hard to recognize that the book is actually well crafted and the characters are actually well developed. The writing underneath this horrible reading may in fact be pretty good. I’ll try another book by Lynsey Sands as long as it is not read by Marianna Palka.
