Publisher's summary

The first time Thomas MacGowan saw Elizabeth Douglas, he thought that she was a princess. To the son of the castle blacksmith, the daughter of the powerful lord of Douglas might as well have been. Despite their differences in rank, they become inseparable - until Thom confesses his love, and the humiliation of realizing that Elizabeth has never considered him a potential suitor drives him to battle.

Elizabeth is devastated. She never meant to hurt Thom, but her only hope for security is to marry for the betterment of her clan. When the English capture her younger brother, she turns to the quiet, steady former protector who can climb anything. But the merciless, muscled warrior is not the companion she remembers. Though Thom has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with Elizabeth, can he truly refuse the alluring woman who makes his heart race?

Great but needs an additional woman’s voice

Really liked the story and the narrator’s voice except I wish they would use a woman’s voice for the women’s parts. The man impersonating a woman’s voice sounds like a children’s book character and it takes you out of the story. But overall, a great story to listen to.

Good kilt fix!

The story is predictable, of course, but it did what I hoped it would when I downloaded it! Not too overly dirty, but good for a good time:)

Great Series

I have read every book in this series, and I believe it to be one of the best fiction based on history series I have ever had the privilege to read. This book was as good as all the rest, while being just a little bit different. It was about people who are family and friends to one of the main characters, but worked it's way back to the general theme of the series at the end of the book. Monica McCarty never fails to deliver.
