The Highland Chieftain

By: Amy Jarecki

Narrated by: Dave Gillies

Fans of "romance a la Outlander" (RT Book Reviews), will love this sexy, action-packed Scottish historical as a battle-hardened Highlander will fight with all he has to save the woman he loves--even if she can never love him back.

After being unceremoniously jilted by her betrothed, Lady Mairi MacKenzie is humiliated and heartbroken - but she's not desperate. As the daughter of an earl, she won't give her hand to just anyone, and she definitely isn't swayed by a last-minute proposal from Laird Duncan MacRae. The powerful clan chieftain may be disarmingly handsome and charming, but he's not a nobleman. Mairi doesn't want his pity or his charity - even though his dark smoldering gaze makes her melt with desire.
Dunn may be a battle-hardened clansman, but he's always had a soft spot for Mairi. For years, she tormented him with flirtation - only to reject him. But he's not giving up. When Mairi is attacked by redcoats, Dunn goes after the woman he loves. Through brute strength and fierce action, he will protect her life at any cost. But to win her heart, he will have to show her the tenderness in his own.

Critic reviews

A "fast-paced, expertly crafted romance."—Publishers Weekly

"I enjoyed every minute of this story. Duncan was just so swoony, heroic, tender, and manly. ... There was a ton of action to keep your excitement heightened, but there was also a lot of heat between these characters as well. ...I highly recommend you get your hands on [it], especially if you are a fan of historical fiction because some of these characters are based upon real people. Overall, The Highland Chieftain was a smoking romance that was both endearing and sexy! I loved it!!"—The Genre Minx

totally awesome

I love this story and the characters. Narrator Dave Gillies is wonderful and his voice gives so much to the story.

Loved it!

The journey of Laird Duncan MacRae and Lady Mairi MacKenzie is filled with romance, adventure, intrigue, betrayal, and love. I love Amy Jarecki’s highland stories; have listened to 15 of them. This is another winner performed by Dave Gillies. Mr. Gillies wonderful narrative brings to life Ms. Jarecki’s lovely story. He is one of my favorite Scottish storytellers.

A highland love story.

Another fabulously written 5+ star book by Amy Jarecki! 💗 Her distinctive writing style is filled with love, romance, humor and mystery. Dave Gillies deserves 5+ stars for his very gifted performance of this wonderful story. It kept me enthralled until the very end. This is a do not miss audiobook.

Swooning!

This story is outstanding. Author Amy Jarecki writes beautifully, paying close attention to details of the time period. One cannot help imagining the scenery or the actions of each character vividly, as if you are in the story itself.
Incredibly romantic, wildly passionate and a very exciting story. Dave Gillies performed this story with an enticing Scottish brogue and great passion. A must have!

Meh

This has so many good reviews and so I was excited, but…. I felt this story was incredibly bluh. I really have nothing more to say.

I got it on a 2 for 1 sale and I’ll not return it because I liked the other book and if you want a credit back you have to return both. But I will NOT be reading any more in this series.
