Taming a Wild Scot

Claimed by the Highlander, Book 1

By: Rowan Keats

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Wrongfully accused of murder and left to die in a hellish Highland dungeon, Ana Bisset has lost all hope of freedom. But the beautiful healer's luck takes an unexpected turn when a hooded stranger appears as her rescuer. After a harrowing escape, Ana settles alone in a quiet village where no one knows her past or her reputation. The last thing she ever expects is to meet her mysterious savior again. Niall MacCurran is no hero but a warrior on a dangerous mission to expose a threat to the realm. After his decision to free Ana, he now realizes that it is he who needs her help - willing or no - to advance his quest. But his growing feelings for the delicate yet resilient beauty soon jeopardize their safety - and not even Ana's healing gifts may be enough to protect their love or their lives.

Critic reviews

"[Keats] seamlessly weaves an unusual romance with the intrigues and power plays associated with the era, greatly enhancing the story's emotional power." ( RT Book Reviews)

This book had it all

This was my kind of book. Romance, action, mystery and MAGIC. I loved it. especially the Druid angle, I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Awesome!

The narrator brings the story to life. I love to hear her. Great storyline and lovable hero.

I was in the mood for Kirsten Potter!

Highland romance + Kirsten Potter = excellence. The story was well written and authentic but.....it is a trilogy so there are a lot of mysteries to be solved. I will not listen to a Highland romance story without Kirsten Potter narrating, she is that good.

Scottish Healer

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This was the first book I've read about a Scottish healer (Ana) and that was very interesting. I would not change a thing.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was very satisfactory to me and I hope there is a sequel.

What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

Kristen Potter's performance was very good. Her accent and inflections were excellent.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

A bit more interaction between Ana and Niall, other than the romance, would have made the characters more vivid.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to all historical romance readers.

Meh...

If it wasn't for Kirsten Potter I would not have finished this book. I was having a hard time keeping up with the backstory but the book as a whole was an easy read.
