The Highlander Takes a Bride

By: Lynsay Sands

Narrated by: Penelope Nederhorst

A bold, seductive laird meets his passionate match in a scintillating Highland romance from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands

Sword fighting, swearing, and riding astride come naturally to Saidh Buchanan. Simpering and holding her tongue— definitely not. Raised alongside seven boisterous brothers, Saidh has little interest in saddling herself with a husband . . . until she glimpses the new Laird MacDonnell bathing naked in the loch. Though she's far from a proper lady, the brawny Highlander makes Saidh feel every inch a woman.

She has an angel's looks, a warrior's temper, and seeks out his kisses with wanton eagerness. Little wonder that Greer is intrigued by his comely guest. When reckless desire overtakes them, he's more than willing to make an honest woman of her. But Saidh is the target of a hidden enemy, and Greer faces the battle of his life to safeguard the woman he wants above all others.

Well Written and Entertaining, but Old Story Llne

Stand alone, the book was good and the performance excellent but I'm finding the books in this series all have the same basic story line. There are enough differences that it was still entertaining but there were no surprises. I may not have noticed had I listened to them months apart (as they were written) but I bought and listened to them back to back.

I did not give the book a 5 star rating because the herioine did not show as much pluck as she portrayed in the preceding book and there was not much of Sand's usual prevailing humor.

Sands writes sex scenes well and has a tendency to over do erotica in her romance novels, as do many authors. This book had too much discriptive sex so I fast forwarded a lot. I kind of figure one or two good sex scenes, with more implied sex than detail is better than hours/pages of steamy sex. In my opinion, once the intial sexual rapport is achieved, repeated drawnout sex scenes are fillers and indicate lazy writing.

All said and done, I recommend this as a good read.

Love and murder

Good combo, I enjoyed this book a lot. Mystery too, who doesn’t love some mystery and intrigue, I know I do. Narrater was excellent with a soothing voice and accent.

Steamy

I really liked this story. The woman is tough as nails and takes no prisoners other than the heart of the Scottish laird. It's steamy and fun, so if you are in the mood for a light, hot read, I recommend this series.

Amazing story and awesome narration

Love the classic highland love story, strong female characters, fantastic narration ! Highly recommend if you enjoy a great Scottish tale!
