About this listen

Highland Blessings is the story of a highland warrior who kidnaps the daughter of his greatest enemy and clan chief to honor a promise he made to his dying father.

Bryce MacPhearson, a highland warrior, kidnaps Akira MacKenzie on her wedding day to honor a promise he made to his dying father. While Akira's strength in the Lord becomes a witness to Bryce, she struggles to overcome her anger and resentment when he forces her to wed him, hoping to end a half-century-old feud between their clans. While Akira begins to forgive and Bryce learns to trust, a series of murders leaves a trail of unanswered questions, confusion, and a legacy of hate that once again rises between their families. Clearly a traitor is in their midst. Now the one man Akira loves no longer trusts her, and her own life is in danger. Can Bryce look beyond his pain and seek the truth? Will Akira discover the threat against her before it's too late? How will God turn a simple promise into bountiful Highland blessings?

A sweet story

I’d like to begin my review by stating that I’m Synesthete. Some sounds overload my senses.

The story: lovely
This is a Christian book. The romance is not at the centre of the plot and the actions were very mild. But it’s beautiful!

The writing: basic
It’s for everyone. But I think that some subtle word choice would have added great elements to the story.

Narration: not for me.
At the end of the book, Elle Newlands uses her natural voice to read the final notes and to inform that the the first chapter of the second book was available. I WAS SHOCKED! Her Natural voice is good!

It made me wonder why she used a Scottish accent as narrator and why she used a throaty, raspy, monotonous voice the entire book.

She could have used her natural voice without the accent to tell the story. It would have been less painful.

Again, being synesthete can be a pain, and some narrators can make the experience very unpleasant. This was one of them.

Even Bryce, a warrior, had an airy, raspy, and weak voice. Honestly, it was irritating.

I wanted to listen to the other book, but I’ll pass because of the narrator. Perhaps I’ll read it some day.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
