The Widow and the Highlander

Tales from the Highlands, Book 1

By: Martha Keyes

Narrated by: Mhairi Morrison

Christina MacKinnon is secretly relieved to be a widow. She is equally desperate to distance herself from the clan of her dead husband, but as the heir to his estate—one she needs in order to support her siblings—she must first stave off both the advances and threats of the man next in line to inherit. It seems the only person she can turn to is a nearby stranger who seems inclined to help her. But he has a request….

Freshly returned from the war, Lachlan Kincaid has one aim: to see justice served to the MacKinnons for betraying his family years ago and depriving him of his inheritance. While biding his time at a nearby inn, he discovers the death of the MacKinnon laird—whose widow has inherited everything. The way to accomplish his goal is becoming more evident, but the path is murkier than he could have foreseen.

As their lives intersect, it becomes clear Lachlan and Christina have to join forces. But to do so courts more danger, and it requires a sacrifice from Christina.

Excellent engaging story!

I loved this book! It has love, suspense, and heroism. We’ll worth the read. So good!

A little different than your usual romance!

Trust, love, honesty are all tested in this book! I love the narrator and her accent! I would recommend it highly!!

Good storyline

Good storyline and clean romance. The narrator was good but I do wish she used a bit more change to distinguish the characters of the book.

Amazing story and narration!

Could not put this one down! The narrator was spot on and so so good. One of my favorite books but his author. Can’t wait for the next one in the series!

Very well done

[4.5 stars]
Though darker and more somber than my typical taste in books, this one is really well done. I think it’s the first Scottish romance I’ve read (certainly my first by Martha Keyes), and I liked the historical setting and Scottish brogue. The writing is smooth and the characters are well developed. I’ll be continuing on with the series.

Content:
There’s no foul language or sex. There is violence but it’s not excessive. The romance is limited to lightly descriptive kisses. There is no real mention of faith or God.

Trigger warnings - a very abusive husband, human trafficking, attempted murder, attempted rape
