Excellent Historical Romance

Revisado: 11-20-17

Historical facts are woven into the romance of a Highlander and an Englishwoman in this first book in the Highland Defender Series. Charlotte meets Hugh when he is brought into Fort William’s infirmary after spending nearly two years in horrible dungeon conditions. There is instant attraction in spite of Hugh’s illness and the fact that they are on opposite sides of a war. Hugh escapes, recovers his health and then makes an effort to woo Charlotte in spite of their differences. Many issues related to having an occupying force in one’s country, overbearing dragoons to contend with, and evil men out to do harm were presented and dealt with. Hugh and Charlotte did not have an easy uneventful courtship and there were times I wondered if they would get their happily ever after AND if it would actually be happy if they did end up together forever.

After reading this book I needed to look up Glencoe, Jacobites, Williamites, Sassenach and a few other terms. I had heard them before but since European history is not something I have studied recently there was a need to know more. After doing some research I even more appreciated the fact that Ms Jarecki stuck so closely to the facts of history while writing this book.

The story was well written, the characters were well fleshed out and the emotions elicited strong. I did not like the British…not even Charlotte’s father. I have never liked the idea of occupation and bending others to the will of the occupiers. I did like this story and rated it accordingly.

Loved the book and the audio performance!

Henrietta “Henri” Soaring-Eagle Anderson wants revenge on the terrorist who set her up BUT she is not sure she wants to work for ICE to get it. When Mike Rose comes with an offer she can’t say no to, well, the fireworks begin. There is chemistry between the two but also competitiveness. There is tenderness and respect. There is teamwork and sharing and caring and well…I enjoyed the book and think you will as well.

Loved this narration of a wonderful story!

Swashbuckling M/M Romance

Revisado: 03-23-16

Would you listen to Vyper again? Why?

Yes. Loved the narration. Vyper was wonderful. Family ties and interactions proved intriguing.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It finished the story but allowed for future stories of Toby and Elizabeth should the author desire to tell them. I liked the way the strings were tied up at the end and the future laid out seemed possible for the remaining characters.

Have you listened to any of Joel Leslie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I listened to "The Duke in Denial" and loved it. Joel Leslie provides a diverse range of voices, dialects and accents that work so very well. His voice is excellent to listen to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I hated the aspect of abuse and the fact that it was perpetrated on the young - wanted to smash more than one person mentioned. Also hated the idea of slavery though realize it was commonplace in the time and location of this story.

Any additional comments?

Thoroughly enjoyable read and I thank the narrator for the copy to listen to. It made exercising SO much more enjoyable. My review is my honest response to what I listened to. I would recommend this to those who enjoy and are looking for a M/M historical romance.

It made me smile. I have to say that the narration made the story come to life for me. I had read the book before.

Any additional comments?

I loved this story and the narration of it. A good love story works no matter who the characters are that fall in love. This was my first audiobook and I am now hooked on the idea of having more in the future! Thank you to the author for the gift of this audiobook.
