About this listen
A Macpherson Family Novel
Tess Lindsay has spent most of her life on the remote Isle of May, uncertain of her identity. Raised by the two sole inhabitants of the island, she is left to fend for herself after their deaths, until a stranger washes ashore in a storm. Tess pulls him from the surf, not knowing that in saving the Highlander she is saving herself.
If good looks and a taste for adventure are a curse, Colin Macpherson is destined for ruin. Until he ends up a castaway on Tess's windswept island, he's been roaming the seas, seeking fame, fortune…and a different girl in every port. But his fascination for this strong-willed lass goes beyond her wild beauty, intriguing him as no girl ever has.
As Colin gains her trust, Tess reveals what little she knows about herself and her past. From her scant clues, though, Colin comes to one conclusion: he must return Tess to the mainland to reclaim her birthright, even if it means losing her to a destiny that does not include him.
Four finely crafted places and lifestyles with and a tender, slowly developing romance between Tess and Colin make this story a delight. The believable supporting characters, the Isle of May and Tess' life on it, her interactions with Colin, are so crisp and clear that I felt I was there with them. ★★★★★
Long considered lost at sea, Tess is suddenly a cause celebrate when she rescues the son of a powerful clan leader. This is an enjoyable look at the sometimes tension between clans in long ago Scotland, with an exciting finish to seal the deal. ★★★★★
I really enjoyed reading Tess and the Highlander, they made me laugh and cry and all the while rooting for Tess. This story was refreshing and one that I recommend for anyone that needs a standalone love story that leaves you dreaming of islands and highlanders on their very own. ★★★★★

Story
Cainnech (Cain) MacPherson's hatred for the English was born when he was a lad of seven, the day they raided his village and killed his family. They took everything from him without mercy and tossed him onto the battlefield, where the memory of love faded to dust and left nothing in its wake but violence. Now, as Robert the Bruce's most formidable, most lethal warrior, he wreaks havoc on his enemy, taking land by force, without mercy. But when he raids a small castle in Northumberland, he faces his greatest opponent yet - a bold, beautiful Norman lass who will see him dead at any cost.

Story ruined by AI voice
This is the fifth title in this series by this author, and I have really enjoyed the previous four however, this story is not read by the same narrator. It is red by an artificial computer voice that doesn’t say words correctly there is no inflection or change in the voice between characters it’s not even a Scottish accent, I do not recommend the audible version. I will not be purchasing anymore stories if they are done this way.
