After the success of The Lady Most Likely, New York Times best-selling authors Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway have joined together once again, but this time to ask the question, 'Who is The Lady Most Willing?'

When Laird Taran Ferguson's nephews refuse to wed and secure his birthright, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding a ball and kidnapping four likely brides - a bonny lass, an heiress with a slight reputation problem, a rich English beauty, and a maiden without a name or a fortune. But which one is ready to fall in love with the Scottish lord?

Add a very angry duke, a decrepit castle, and a fierce Highland storm that is holding all of Taran's "guests" captive to the mix, and listeners will find themselves transported to a world of temptation, passion, and new and unexpected love. This historical romance novel in three parts - a single story with three compelling voices - is one that will not soon be forgotten.

This was a funny fun read/listen. I really liked all the characters. The story was very funny at times. The storyline flowed nicely. There wasn't any sex to speak of, maybe one small mild scene. There was plenty of attraction. Lots and lots of dialogue throughout the entire book which made it even better.

As for the narration... I was great! I really do like Susan Duerden's narrations of Historical Romance Novels. She really does a fantastic job! She uses all the inflections the story calls for, Laughing, yelling, whispering, etc.. The men sound like men and the ladies sound like ladies. Everyone has their own distinct voice, it is not confusing at all.

Very Cute Fun Read/Listen

What made the experience of listening to The Lady Most Willing... the most enjoyable?

I love Susan Duerden! She did well with all the different characters. Her Scottish accent wasn't perfect but it wasn't so terrible either.

Any additional comments?

This book was really funny. At times it was a little predictable but it was mostly a light and fast paced listen, which was nice!

Cute and very funny!

Would you listen to The Lady Most Willing... again? Why?

I have listened to this multiple times to recaputure the wit, laughter, and emotion of the piece. It is not a heavy philosophical treatise; it's FUN reading.

What did you like best about this story?

The combination of writers (Quinn, James, and Brockway) provides a "story within a story" which allows the reader to shift gears and focus on different charaters while staying true to the overall theme of the book. The psyches of the heroes and heroines are explored and all their characters are dynamic. The surprise ending was absolutely delightful.

Which character – as performed by Susan Duerden – was your favorite?

I was particularly drawn to the plights of Fiona and Oakley. Their wounded spirits were cauterized and expanded. Love those HEAs.

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

The surprise at the end of the book sealed this as a favorite and repeat listen.

Any additional comments?

There are times that a bit of psychic relief can be a balm. I truly ascribe to Keane's "Dying is easy, comedy is hard."

Surprisingly delightful

Where does The Lady Most Willing... rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I don't normally "rank" a romance novel because there are so many of them that are similar to each other. But if I'm ranking it by a romance comedy I would say #1. These 3 authors never disappoint.

What did you like best about this story?

What do you get when a duke, an earl, and a French comte walk into a castle? A funny, sweet and well written story! It was everything I expected from these 3 talented authors.

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

No, I've never listened to her before but she did quite well. I enjoyed her narration.

Any additional comments?

My favorite match was Catriona and the Duke of Bretton, John. Both kidnapped by “mistake” yet found love with each other.
I loved to hate the young and spoiled Marilla.

3 talented authors = 1 great book

A flawless compilation by three brilliant authors who together have written a continuous funny story that has 4 eligible Ladies kidnapped for marriage by an overbearing Scottish Laird for his bachelor kinsmen.

The fiasco takes place in his snowbound Castle where slowly each bachelor is helplessly drawn to one of the Ladies, succumbs to love and eventually proposals start flying around. It was light, thoroughly entertaining, funny and so seemlessly written that you would think it was done by just one author.

Worth a credit? Well what's not to like......... so it's a YES from me.

HISTORICAL HILARIOUS HIGHLAND MAHEM

Definitely a stretch but a humorous tale with interesting characters. Perfect narration running a gammet of voices.

A fun romp if you can suspend belief
