About this listen

An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison - a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.

Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against - an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...

Featured Article: Best Romance Authors For a Little Love Into Your Life


You can never have enough romance in your life. If there isn't enough in the real world, there's always an entire history of romance novels to get lost in, from the Victorian stylings of Jane Austen (who doesn't dream of Mr. Darcy?) to contemporary romance authors like Talia Hibbert After all, who doesn't love a good swoon from time to time? You can't beat a good love story, and there are many reasons why television and cinema are filled with their adaptations.

So sweet how love can change everything

I really like the narrator it gave the story a boost made you feel all the emotions going on. How hard it must have been in that era to be wed to a stranger and struggle to fit in.

This is the first time listening to this book

I have the hardcover version of this book and have read it many times as it is one of my favourites. This audio book was wonderful to listen too. I really enjoyed Rosalyn Landor’s interpretation of the different characters. She made me laugh and brought me back to the book. I have a feeling I will be listening to this again and again. I would recommend this book.

Not as good as the reviews led me to believe

disclaimer, I'm a man and this book probably wasn't written for me.

The narration is quite good.
writing style is a bit lazy, certain phrases and words are repeated far to often. the characters are extremely cliche
