Alex MacLeod's virile physique, fearsome reputation, and renowned fighting skills have helped him master to perfection the role of a hardened mercenary. On a secret mission to protect his clan, he must keep his true purpose well hidden. But his dangerous endeavor is threatened by a beautiful woman he saves from outlaws, never dreaming she will appear at court and put his plans in jeopardy.

Meg Mackinnon needs a strong husband by her side to defend her clan's holdings, but her search has been hampered by burning fantasies of the midnight rescuer whose smoldering blue eyes and raw sensuality left her breathless. Alex pretends to be a mercenary with no loyalties, yet he is clearly much more. As Meg challenges Alex to reveal all his secrets, the stakes grow perilously high, especially for the bold woman who dares to unmask a highlander.

This is just a okay highlander romance story that could have been so much better if it was not so long. This is not historical lit, it's a romance between a hero who has issues between his duty to his clan and what he should easily be able to determine is his great love. I think the pace given the circumstance of the story could have move along faster. It is one of the things stopping me from moving onto to the final book. I am sure I'll purchase the next book. So if highland romance (not a steamy romance) but good romance is what you have a need for, then this series,may be for you. I would recommend Karen Marie Moning's highlander series for fun and romance and Maya Banks steaming romanic highlander stories.

Miss Monica McCarty, I so enjoy your books! I’ve listened to most of your series. And in all of them, you always write about strong, intelligent, and brave women. But also in your series there is always two stories in which the lady is so strong well so self-centered that she knows she’s right every way, and she always jeopardizes the lives of, the people surrounding her getting killed and then at the end, she becomes true her by saving the male character no no no no no throughout the book in this one I kept hoping she would just stay quiet and do what she’s told. Being intelligent doesn’t mean that she has to do, stupid things. If a man tells you stay quiet, if a man tells you hi so if the man tells you run Dusso, they fly into danger, getting themselves injured or getting a lovable character killed! Or in this case, she got herself almost killed in the process of doing the saving and again she’s always the heroine. because she save the main character while he did all the work throughout the book lol I still enjoy them. Anthony Ferguson I love your narration

Another annoying heroine

Who wouldn't love a pained, tormented handsome Highland hero torn between love and duty. Good romance story with likeable characters, well written and narrated. It definately had the mmm.... factor.

Worth the credit - Absolutely YES.

Oh the MacLeods..... they just get better + better

Action from the very beginning and you have Alex and Margaret (Meg) who are on a mission of their own. They will not allow anyone to get in their way, not even themselves. Once again deceit and sexual attraction comes into play. It has a typical ending, but the ride to that end is enjoyable.

This One Even Better Than The First

I normally like books about Highlanders, but I've noticed, although the names of the handsome Scottish Warriors change, as well as their Lady Fair, with a differing plot, there seems to be a sameness about the stories in this series. No imagination needed, no surprises.

I've previously enjoyed stories narrated by Antony Ferguson, once I got used to the way he structures his sentences, but during his reading of "Highlander Unmasked" he sound more sing-song at times, which was off-putting.

I can't say it's not a well written book, but I didn't particularly enjoy it.

Different, But The Same

Wonderful follow up to book one I love how Monica's stories flow. At times they just seem to pick up without a miss. Great narrator Antony Furguson brings the highlands to life.

Great story!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I cannot imagine. Reading. This book. The way the. Narrator read. it. The. meaningless. Pauses. Distracted from. Any. Meaning the plot. and. Characters could have. possibly communicated to. The reader.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

A different narrator!!!

How could the performance have been better?

Punctuation, cadence, and intonation are essential for a narrator to understand and execute. I was completely distracted by the halting, choppy speaking.

Do you think Highlander Unmasked needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not without a different narrator. I usually enjoy this author but I can't pay any attention to the story when distracted by bizarre narration. I didn't finish the book, so I really couldn't say.

Any additional comments?

Frustrating. I listen to these books to relax! Relaxing was impossible. I felt like I was riding in a car with someone who was trying to learn to drive a stick shift up hill!

Halting, unatural cadence of narrator's voice ODD!

hmm... it started off promising, however I found myself not caring whether or not the main characters ended up together. Meg was annoying and for being so "smart" she made one bad decision after another, putting herself and others at risk. She came off too desperate and weak. I enjoyed the first book in the series so I'll still continue with the next book but I do hope it's better than this one.

Not bad but not great
