Don't skip this one!

I loved all of the stories in this book. Don't skip it if you're an Outlander fan. my favorite in this was A Fugitive Green. I really loved Minnie's character and was really interested in exploring her's and Hal's relationship. I definitely wasn't ready for that story to end.

Feeds the Outlander Obsession

Great little conglomerate of new and old spin-off stories. Only one of which I had read or listened to already. I loved getting to know Minnie and Hal better especially!

Fantastic! a must read for all Outlander fans.

I really enjoyed this! I would love to hear more about Hal & Minnie.
I kind of wish I hadn't already bought two of the book separately but oh well . I can use them to hook other people on Outlander.

Wonderful!

What a beautiful surprise to hear Diana’s own voice reading her very own Author’s notes!
As always she delivers with passion and perfection with each story. I so wish to read one day the rest of Minnie and Hal’s love story ❤️

Wonderful selection of stories!

I truly enjoyed this selection of story. The variety & sequence was entertaining. I would love to hear more about these characters & other characters from all of her books. Diana stories always take me to surprising places. Audible is truly a great way to enjoy these books.

Minnie is my new favorite!

Sometimes I want to know more and these little bites are the perfect filler. Ian is solid. Sometimes I still want more. Minnie, I want more Minnie! Although I haven't read any of the Lord John series, I'm suddenly interested. Sometimes I read a fact that I want to unread. I didn't want to know who was uncut.
