Tempting the Laird

By: Julia London

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Mystery and desire cloak the Scottish Highlands

Unruly. Unmarried. Unapologetic. Catriona Mackenzie’s reputation precedes her everywhere she goes. Her beloved late aunt Zelda taught Cat to live out loud and speak her mind, and that’s exactly what she does when Zelda’s legacy—a refuge for women in need—comes under fire. When her quest puts her in the path of the disturbingly mysterious Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose, Cat is soon caught up in the provocative rumors surrounding the dark duke. Never one to retreat, Cat boldly goes where no one else has dared for answers.

Shrouded in secrets, a hostage of lies, Hamlin must endure the fear and suspicion of those who believe he is a murderer. The sudden disappearance of his wife and the truth he keeps silent are a risk to his chances at earning a coveted parliamentary seat. But he’s kept his affairs tightly held until a woman with sparkling eyes and brazen determination appears unexpectedly in his life. Deadly allegations might be his downfall, but his unleashed passion could be the duke’s ultimate undoing.

Great story and excellent narration!

The story is well written and interesting
with an unusual story line. Derek Perkin’s narration brings the story to life. He is a joy to listen to.

THIS BOOK SURPRISED ME...

I thought maybe it was going to be a little repetitive of other parts of the series, however, I was totally wrong! It was funny, sad, happy, tense and just an overall joy to listen to. I will not give a summary of what happens because I don't like it when others give away half of the book in their review. I will just tell you that there is just the right amount of "steamy" and a very different storyline than most that I've read.

Loved it and would recommend to anyone and everyone!

steam rating... perfect!!

Perfect Match for Cat

The story was great. The perfect amount of mystery, fun and love. The Duke was the perfect match and their story was sweet. The performance was just as wonderful and keeps you engaged! You'll not regret the buy.

Don't judge the book by its cover

They say not to judge the book by its cover and I usually don't but this time I will. The cover and the title are somewhat deceiving... This is not a book about a laird but a duke... Yes he may be Scottish but in this book he is nothing you want a highlander in a kilt to be... He is a weak character in my opinion. I don't usually write reviews but I had to say this. Sorry if you don't agree with me.
