The Burden of a Scottish Chieftain

Clans of Mull, Book 2

By: Keira Montclair

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

A haunted chieftain. A lass without hope.
What happens when their lives cross paths?

Lennox MacVey, chieftain of Clan MacVey, is haunted by memories of being kidnapped as a child by a man named Egan. Now seven and twenty years old, the nightmares of the event are becoming clearer, beckoning him to right the wrongs committed against him.

For Meg, life has become unbearable. Trapped in a loveless home and reeling from her sister Tamsin’s departure, her father’s chilling announcement changes everything: she’s to be sold to a baron who wants nothing more than an heir. Refusing to accept this fate, Meg flees, determined to find Tamsin and carve out her own future. But her escape takes a devastating turn when she is abducted and forced to care for four helpless bairns—a responsibility that forever changes her path.

Fate intervenes when Meg and the children manage to escape and cross paths with Lennox. Together, they uncover a chilling truth: Egan is still abducting children, and his sinister plans go far beyond anything they could have imagined. As danger closes in, Lennox and Meg must unite to protect the Isle of Mull and everyone they love from a threat that could destroy it all. Can they ignore their differences to save the bairns?

Sweet realistic happily ever after

For those who enjoy historical fiction with realistic life events, this is a story for you. While some might find the love scenes a mite chase for their liking, the story holds its own without being overly graphic on the battle field or bedroom.

Doesn't do any good

To deny what you can't get off your mind.
The love story was more emotional than some I've enjoyed lately.
I loved listening to the narrator's voice and emotional reading.
