The Highlander's Excellent Adventure

Survivors Series, Book 8

By: Shana Galen

Narrated by: Victoria Aston

Just because they've run away....

Ines Neves and Emmeline Wellesley have both run away. Ines hid in a carriage from a tedious suitor, only to find, too late, the carriage had traveled out of London, not just around the block. To make matters worse, the carriage is that of a stranger: a handsome Highlander.

Emmeline Wellesley has had four Seasons and cannot tolerate another. To force her mother to listen to her, she's run away. But things haven't gone well. She's been locked in a closet, had all her money stolen, and somehow adopted a dog. When an old family friend shows up to save her, she doesn't exactly welcome his help.

Doesn't mean they don't want to be found.

Duncan Murray doesn't know what to make of the Portuguese-speaking woman in his carriage. She refuses to return to London, so he takes her to meet Nash Pope, a so-called friend who speaks Portuguese. On the way, he meets up with former soldier Stratford Fortescue, and Stratford's opinionated distant cousin, Miss Wellesley. The four travel together to Nash's estate, and that's when everything goes really wrong. On the run to Scotland, Duncan finds himself increasingly attracted to Ines, even though he knows he can never marry her. Stratford has always wanted Emmeline, but his family secret means he doesn't deserve her.

Contains mature themes.

My favorite other series

I loved everything about the book. Especially the characters & the scrapes they get in! I admit I loved the Startford Emmestory best. Inez did frustrate me a bit and unfortunately, I admit I judged her but that is my demons not the characters. Both women were wonderful examples of strong, self assured women. I wish I had their courage when I was younger.Fighting for what they each wanted they were fearless, despite their individual obstacles. And the men, especially Statford, swoon! The narrators as usual was exemplary! Worth a credit especially if you have been following the previous stories.

Excellent Read, Definitely Recommend

I particularly enjoyed the double romance storyline of this book. The Survivors Series is one of my favorite and I highly recommend this historical fiction romance.

Drawn Out

Too drawn out and female characters were portrayed as way too forthright & outspoken for time period.
