The Complete Series ~

Feisty Maggie MacBede will never marry a warrior. Och no! With eight strapping brothers and a warrior of a Da, she has had enough of holding her own against great headstrong men. She’ll not risk her heart to the sword. Give her a poet, a bard, any man but a fighting man, and she will find her match.

Talorc the Bold, the Laird MacKay, has no care for Maggie’s foolishness. When he heard the MacBede battle cry, “For Our Maggie!” and witnessed the impossible victory it spurred, he set out to marry her for the clan. Then he felt her in his arms and knew he would marry her for himself and the grand power of their mating.

The clan intercedes, the two are Handfasted, married for a year and a day as an enemy lurks deep in the belly of the clan. By winning his bride’s love, Talorc may just lose her life.

couldn't put it down

I saw in other reviews how the lead woman got on some nerves, but once you remember how young, spoiled in a good way by her family ,I loved it, I didn't want it to end..

The Handfasting

Book is good. The heroine is a bit immature and can't seem to make up her mind and got a bit irritating. However, the rest of it was good and interesting.

Narrator is ok I had to speed it up to 1.7 it was just too slow to me.

Loved it

Story is great - narrator good a great romance I couldn’t stop listening - first read by this author and looking forward to the next

Good story but narrator is a bit overly dramatic

The story is well enough, but the narrator is a bit shouts at inappropriate times (especially when doing the female protagonist’s voice). Also, the accent is more Irish than Scottish, which is somewhat distracting.

very very good read!!

only book so far I have found from this author. I hope she has more coming. Love the highland romance genre. this was a great Love story and great narrator.
