About this listen

Beautiful and fiercely protective of those she loves, Lady Seona Murray captured Keegan MacKay's attention when she first set foot in Dunnakeil Castle. Though she is a chief's daughter and forbidden, Keegan has fallen in love with her from afar and burns to possess her. But so does the clan traitor, Haldane, an obsessive outlaw bent on murder and kidnapping.

Sinfully handsome, Keegan MacKay is a fearsome guard as well as the chief's cousin, but Seona's father would never consider him a worthy husband for her because he is not a titled laird. Seona has secretly watched the sensual, tawny-haired warrior from across the crowded great hall for months, but when he is tasked with escorting her across Scotland, back to her home, their simmering attraction flames into sizzling passion with just one kiss.

Though she fears she is endangering Keegan's life, Seona cannot resist his seductive charm or his spellbinding kisses. Keegan sets fire to the memories of her sad past and shows her what it means to truly live. But her father has other plans. He's arranged for her to marry a wealthy Lowland laird. Is Keegan daring enough to steal her away? Or will the vindictive Haldane snatch her first?

Highlander books at their best

The stories by Vonda are so similar to the ones by Monica M. I wonder if they are one in the same. The stories are compelling.

My Daring Highlander - Author Vonda Sinclair. The Highland Adventure Series - Book Four
Author Vonda Sinclair has outdone herself with her Highland Adventure Series. My Daring Highlander is another hit for this author. I loved every moment of this suspenseful, action packed, thrilling love story.
This is Keegan & Seona's love story. Keegan is Chief Dirk MacKay's cousin and closer than a brother to Dirk. Keegan is a tall, brawny, tawny haired warrior who meets Lady Seona Murray during her stay at Dunnakiel Castle. As the two share glances at one another from across the room, an attraction and desire begins to bloom. As these stolen glances and few words between them continue throughout the winter, they cannot deny their attraction to one another and with one stolen kiss, love takes hold in their hearts. Unfortunately, Lady Seona knows her father will never find Keegan worthy enough to marry his daughter, and fears her father's wrath if she allows her feelings for Keegan to become known. One thing is clear, Lady Seona must return home, but is thrilled to know Keegan, Dirk and Isobel will be going with her to the lowlands. Keegan realizes early on, he is in love with Seona but neither of them could possibly imagine the depths in which their love will be challenged on this journey, nor the deceitful, brutal steps Seona's father will take to prevent a match between a mere guard and his eldest daughter. Author Vonda Sinclair takes the reader on another adventurous journey, across Scotland and into a story of love so true and pure, she captures your heart with every word. For Keegan and Seona, their love must prove to one and all that true love can conquer all, no matter the risk or the cost, they love one another too much to back down, they must face the challenges together and draw strength from one another in order to find their happy ending in each other's arms. The Author's lavish and vivid descriptions of scenery must come from a true love of Scotland. Every sunset, every mountain, the bluebells and even thorny bushes are described in such beautiful detail, you see with absolute clarity the landscape and go along this journey with the characters as they navigate mountain passes, winding trails and gaze at the changing colors in the sky.
An absolutely lovely story with enticing characters and magnificently written. This is a must read, or listen to on audiobook.

An Exciting Highland Romance

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

Yes, I would recommend the audiobook to a friend, because the characters are true-to-life. I enjoyed the portrayal of Keegan's toughness and alpha male attributes in contrast to Seona's delicate sweetness. Yet, Keegan had a soft, giving heart and Seona a resilience from defending herself and her sister from their tyrannical father. The love between Keegan and Seona overcame many dire obstacles. The plot is well-developed with action and conflict that kept me turning pages.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Lady Seona Murray. She had all the qualities of a Highland lady—sweet, demure, and well-mannered, but strong-willed and resilient.

Have you listened to any of Dave Gillies’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first narration I've listened to by Dave Gillies.

ACTION AND ROMANCE!

This was awesome, the narrator was perfect! There was battles and love, which is a perfect balance of action/romance. I love the innocents of the heroines seeing as I'm old fashioned. I'll be continuing with the series.

Good

Any additional comments?

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

So, I have to say that this is the first book I've read/listened to by this author. And even though it's kind of in a series, it is literally it's own book. I did have to get a clarification from the author as to what a curse word that was repeated was (because even with headphones my hearing was being screwy and I was hearing differently and it wasn't making the least bit of sense but after email back it made SO MUCH MORE SENSE). I'm very thankful that the author was more than happy to answer my question. Despite my mishearing I still really enjoyed the book.

I REALLY love the fact that the author actually KNOWS Scottish geography and that it was shown very much in the book. That was a nice touch.

I really liked the narrator's voice (but that's me with a predilection towards deep voices and Scottish accents). He didn't read too fast or too slow. It was kept at a nice even pace through the whole book. And his brogue wasn't so thick that (people not me and not use to the thicker ones) you're left wondering what the heck was said.

never a disappointment from Vonda Sinclair

I have read the entire Highlander series about ten times and every time fall deeper in love the the story and the characters. Vonda Sinclair brings you into an Era of brutality and magic and makes you wish for days gone by.

Romance and brave warriors

What a good story this was and further enhanced by the excellent narration of Dave Gillies. He is able to hold my attention throughout and he has an interesting voice to listen to. This story gripped me from beginning to end. Keegan was everything one could want in a hero, he was brave, handsome and very protective of those he loved. Seona was a strong and caring lady, always looking out for others. There was plenty of action and I loved the camaraderie between the friends and Rebbie and his teasing ways. His time will come, I’m sure! Whilst reading I couldn’t imagine how a satisfying end would come about and this is the type of book I enjoy most, when I haven’t worked out how it will end.

Romantic Highlander risks honor, endures danger

Any additional comments?

Ms. Sinclair entranced me with this wonderful series, narrated by Dave Gillies. As I continue the series, it’s like coming home to good friends.

Dave Gillies narration captivates the feeling and emotion the characters are experiencing, particularly with his expertise and skill of internal dialogue. Additionally, it’s remarkable how very feminine the women’s voices are, including their internal dialogue.

Keegan, the hero of this book, is a great friend to Dirk, the new chief of his clan. To be a chief certainly doesn’t keep one safe. But Keegan, a very able and honest man, was there to protect him. His protective streak extended to Dirk’s wife and ultimately to the lovely Lady Seona, Dirk’s wife’s sister. Keegan was a very decisive man and when his mind was fixed, nothing swerved it. Lady Seona held is heart from the first. She had to be his.

Lady Seona, on the other hand, deals with a very heavy-handed father, ready to marry her off to the best titled man and is very logical in his thinking, but quite conniving. In all her innocence, Lady Seona had a very carnal appetite and a curiosity which knew no bounds and a huge attraction to Keegan. This did not help Keegan keep his hands off her. He wanted to do the honorable thing by her. This, my reader, created a very hot, passionate story. (Delicious!)

The scenes were crisp, to the point, propelling the story forward. At one point, I remember stopping and just blinking!! Twists and turns at every front make the adventure most fascinating. What a lovely, delightful listen. I am SO ready for book 4!

Delightfully Sweet Romance!

This fourth book in the Highland Adventures Series is a delightfully sweet romance. Keegan MacKay has fallen head over heels in love with Lady Seona Murray however he is just a untitled castle guard with nothing to offer her. Seona knows her father has arranged for her to be betrothed to a wealthy laird and would consider Keegan below her, however she is also in love with him. Do they dare hope that they can be together? There is also the threat of the clan traitor Haldane who is obsessed with having Seona as his wife. There are many exciting and tender moments in this delightful story. The couple seemed a bit young and naïve at times to me however I did enjoy this story and really look forward to the next one in the series. Dave Gillies one again does an excellent job of narrating.
