About this listen

1684, Scottish Highlands

Englishwoman Evelyn Worthington is resolved to build a school for ladies in her brother's newly purchased Scottish castle. But when she arrives, not only does she find the castle scorched by fire, but a brawny Highlander bars her entry.

Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see his family home, Finlarig Castle, fall into English hands, so Grey must win the battle of wills with the beautiful Sassenach who flashes a bill of sale before him.

When the war between Evelyn and Grey escalates, passions flare. But outsiders have their own plans for Finlarig. After secrets are revealed, and muskets are lit, the fates of the Campbell Clan, the school, and a possible future for Grey and Evelyn are in as much jeopardy as their lives.

Liked the determination of the main female characters to get out of planned future that would make them submissive to male control. How an honest open nature shines through making a sweet ending

Very much an enemies to lovers type love story. I love Heather McCollum and re-listening to this book after years past I can see comparing it to her other books it's very enemies to lovers story.

And Grey Campbell is very much the devilish scoundrel in this tale with is a lot different to most of Heather 's books, in my opinion. I think Evelyn Worthington is a better described as an outspoken and opinionated as well as stubborn English lady rather than an 'English Chit'.

I still really enjoyed the book though her later works are where the going gets better!!

Also please note this is also Book 1 of The Campbell series and is also known as The Scottish Rogue. There are 4 books in the entire series.

I must say though that I am glad Heather changed to Tim Campbell as a narrator as he does a much better job. Like it's listenable but I'm not a fan of Justine Eyre personally.

An intriguing love story with great twists and turns. Set in one of my favourite story backgrounds.

I usually love Heather McCollums books but couldn't get into this one, mainly because of the terrible Scottish accents.

Not a fan of the narrator

I've loved listening to Heather's books narrated by Timothy Campbell, he is the ultimate. But listening to this books narrator was pure torture. Held out to chapter 4 and just had to give up
waste of a credit
