The Renegade

Rebel Hearts, Book 1

By: Lily Baldwin

Narrated by: Graham Mack

The world sees Lady Elora Brodie as a controlling noblewoman, but inside her, beats a passionate and rebellious heart. Determined to protect her independence, she will do anything to avoid marriage. She will even venture beyond the comforts of home to traverse the disreputable shipyards of Edinburgh in search of a man reckless enough to set her plan in motion; a plan she hopes will ensure that she never need utter the words "to honor and obey.

Nathan Campbell's demons never give his soul reprieve. But to all the world, he is fearless, strong, irresistibly sexy, and when not tracking down thieves for a price, he can generally be found in a tavern, too far into his cups and draped by women vying to welcome him into their beds.

Both Elora and Nathan will see the other as a means to achieve their worldly goals—but what if, within their wounded hearts, beats more? What if dreams lie in wait? Dreams that can only be realized when unleashed by a passion too powerful to contain and impossible to deny.

Love for a Renegade

Lady Elora Brodie of Castle Bron, was on a mission to find a man who would pretend to be her bethroth,she didn't want to marry a man her dad was planning on her to marry! The laird MacKintosh, just wants to marry her for her land and clan people, Elora is with the captain of her guards, Declan they go to a tavern and she sees Nathan Campbell, he has lead a rough seven years as a Thieftaker. Nathan meets all what she needs for the job,and Elora hires him and Nathans good friend Caleb comes with them to Castle Bron. I really enjoyed listening to this story, narrattor voice was a pleasure to listen to,did a wonderful job telling this book. Elora had a lot of hang ups and Nathan has guilt over his family and how he had left the Campbell clan. The secondary people in story were very good, made it a heart warming story., Enjoyed Temperance , Elora's little sister ! The plot was different and held my attention, as Elora and Nathan came together for a perfect ending. My review is honest as it's a very well written book,as i enjoy historical scottish stories! I recommend this audio book !

Entertaining

Overall this was a decent listen, pretty predictable until the end. I would say worth a listen.

Refreshing

It’s always nice to find historical romances that are well written and without predictable characters and storylines. This is my first book by this author and you can bet I’ll be reading more of her work!
The narrator’s performance was great and I enjoyed that he changed his voice for different personalities. Great job!
The only thing disappointing is the rest of the series isn’t on Audible yet. Thanks for the entertaining escape into another world!

Wonderful!

Lily writes the most fantastic romance stories. This one is no exception. Plenty of different emotions and excitement.
Graham has a great voice and the narration was spot on. I love it!

I'm sorry that I couldn't find one thing to like.

I do not mean to be unkind but I was prompted for a review.
This book was not researched and did not fit into its intended era well. Also, it had no flesh on it's bones. Much like the very old Harlequin Romances plus some sex. It reads like fan fiction for Outlander.
The performance was just woeful.
