A life hangs in the balance… A king held for ransom, a country under thumb, clans at one another’s throats. Malcolm of clan MacKintosh has enough to worry about without finding a mysterious lass sleeping on the side of his road. He tries to help her — in his overbearing, arrogant way — and winds up flat on his back. God’s blood, who is this woman…and why does she captivate him so?

And only she can tip the scales.

The fortune-teller said something about saving a life, then zapped Alethia Goodsky back to fifteenth-century Scotland — a land bristling with broadswords and intrigue. Alethia is no damsel in distress, though, even if brawny, blue-eyed Malcolm has sworn to protect her. With her wits and special abilities, she races to solve the gypsy’s mystery and protect those she’s come to love. The stakes climb higher and enemies close in, forcing Alethia to choose between finding her way home…and staying true to her Highlander.

By far the worst narrator in the history of audiobooks. Her voice and rhythm made me feel like Siri was trying desperately to read the pages, but had a head cold, and never made it past a second grade reading level. Please spare yourself and grab the paperback or ebook.

This was definitely a book to hear over the weekend. at times it did go slow but overall a good read. consider this a love story with minimum sex scenes. it had funny parts and cute parts. Definitely for teens and up.

I enjoy romance time travel novels as a break from my usual choice of non fiction or mystery novels. However, I am very selective and try to stay away from the formula type writing that seems to dominate this category...helpless whining female meets big handsome overbearing alpha male, female jumps to conclusions when she overhears conversation, runs away, gets in trouble and then is rescued by alpha male. The summary for this book seemed to offer more, a rational female that could think and defend herself. For the most part the author delivered only falling into the "romance formula" toward the end. The biggest problem I had was with the narrator. When I first heard the voice, I thought something was wrong with my iPod. Her voice has a severe nasal accent and she reads the narrative parts of the story as if following the tempo of a musical measure, ta da, ta da, boom, ta da, ta da, boom. It was a little better when she was using voices for the characters, but not much. It was so annoying, I finally purchased the written version on my Kindle to finish the book. I will never purchase anything using Ms Dawe as a narrator again. Do yourself a favor, if you are interested in this book, only purchase it in written form not audio.

Interesting Story, Terrible Narrator

Narration

While the story is alright, at times the narration grated on my nerves. The sections voiced for characters, with accents were decently done, the sections voiced for story narration had an oddly monotonous prosody in which nearly every phrase ended with a predictable high pitch to falling pitch. I would not get another book with this narrator.

Irritating narrator

If the story weren’t so good the narration would have stopped me from getting far into it. I don’t understand her popularity. She does the characters well but the story narration makes me cringe. Her cadence is awful. She puts strange rises in her voice at places it doesn’t make sense and she ends sentences with a strange drawn out up swing in her voice. Other books she has done I couldn’t get past the first chapter. I admit that after awhile I could listen without cringing but it still took some strength to ignore.

Good story, narration not so much

This begins a line of great novels, whether you want just 1 story or if your like me and want me and continue the whole series. This is a remarkable storyline and keeps you enthralled to continue.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Angela Dawe is horrible. I'm still trying to make it through this book with all the stops and starts it sounds like she skipped sentences and split words in half. just listening to her is irritating. She's no Barbra Rosenblat or Susan Duerdan. I'm soooooo disappointed, I wish when I pre-ordered this that it said who was performing I never would have bought this book.

I really enjoyed the listen. Good book. Thanks Audible, I was impressed by the author and the narrator. They nailed it. Yes, it is time travel with a new refreshing twist! I don't usually listen to time traveling books as they are usually a little on the same theme. This one was good. This one is recommended.

This was a surprise of a book !
