The Rock

Highland Guard Series #11

By: Monica McCarty

Narrated by: Antony Ferguson

The first time Thomas MacGowan saw Elizabeth Douglas, he thought that she was a princess. To the son of the castle blacksmith, the daughter of the powerful lord of Douglas might as well have been. Despite their differences in rank, they become inseparable - until Thom confesses his love, and the humiliation of realizing that Elizabeth has never considered him a potential suitor drives him to battle.

Elizabeth is devastated. She never meant to hurt Thom, but her only hope for security is to marry for the betterment of her clan. When the English capture her younger brother, she turns to the quiet, steady former protector who can climb anything. But the merciless, muscled warrior is not the companion she remembers. Though Thom has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with Elizabeth, can he truly refuse the alluring woman who makes his heart race?

Awesome story, Awesome narrator! Great Read!

Great but needs an additional woman’s voice

Really liked the story and the narrator’s voice except I wish they would use a woman’s voice for the women’s parts. The man impersonating a woman’s voice sounds like a children’s book character and it takes you out of the story. But overall, a great story to listen to.

Best story yet!

I have listened to all of the series so far. This is the best one yet. The love story made me laugh, cry and then cry happy tears Can't wait to hear the next story.
