About this listen

Declan Sinclair is a Highlander who believes his dreams never lie. When he spots Caya at a public house, he knows instantly she is the woman in his dreams - his future wife. Though her brother had promised never to gamble again, he engages Declan in a card game - and the prize is the lovely Caya.

Caya Pendarvis has no time for childish things like dreams or fairy tales or love. She's the sacrificial lamb on her way to the far north of Scotland to wed a wealthy merchant in exchange for settling her brother's gambling debts.

Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does well. Unfortunately, the ability to court a woman - a talent he lacks - is the only skill he desperately needs to win Caya's heart.

Enjoyed the development of slow awareness of love with the uncertain innocent emotions. The suspiciousness of the ignorant pleasant.

Lots of drama, innocent love.

I enjoy this book better than book 1. it was much less predictable and had 1 maybe 2 frustrating moments as opposed to a chapter or more in book 1.

the narrator is not the worst I've heard but not the best either. hoping book 3 improves on both book 1 and 2.

Better than book 1 of the series

The information about this book made it sound really interesting, with quite a different plot line, and it could have been a great story but I found both the writing and the narration VERY tedious and I struggled to finish it. The narrator really does not do male voices well, making the the ‘hero’ of the story sound awful.

Tedious

What a pathetic female. Wouldn’t have finished the book but for the other characters and the performance.

Annoying Female
