never a disappointment from Vonda Sinclair

I have read the entire Highlander series about ten times and every time fall deeper in love the the story and the characters. Vonda Sinclair brings you into an Era of brutality and magic and makes you wish for days gone by.

Romance and brave warriors

What a good story this was and further enhanced by the excellent narration of Dave Gillies. He is able to hold my attention throughout and he has an interesting voice to listen to. This story gripped me from beginning to end. Keegan was everything one could want in a hero, he was brave, handsome and very protective of those he loved. Seona was a strong and caring lady, always looking out for others. There was plenty of action and I loved the camaraderie between the friends and Rebbie and his teasing ways. His time will come, I’m sure! Whilst reading I couldn’t imagine how a satisfying end would come about and this is the type of book I enjoy most, when I haven’t worked out how it will end.

Delightfully Sweet Romance!

This fourth book in the Highland Adventures Series is a delightfully sweet romance. Keegan MacKay has fallen head over heels in love with Lady Seona Murray however he is just a untitled castle guard with nothing to offer her. Seona knows her father has arranged for her to be betrothed to a wealthy laird and would consider Keegan below her, however she is also in love with him. Do they dare hope that they can be together? There is also the threat of the clan traitor Haldane who is obsessed with having Seona as his wife. There are many exciting and tender moments in this delightful story. The couple seemed a bit young and naïve at times to me however I did enjoy this story and really look forward to the next one in the series. Dave Gillies one again does an excellent job of narrating.

My favorite one in the series (so far)

This book is my favorite one in the series (so far). Maybe I've just gotten used to the narrator's style, or maybe he continues to grow in his craft. I'm not sure what it is, but I like what's happening. The stories are also improving although I could do without the constant damsel in distress at every turn. There are other ways of moving the story along than constantly having a character in danger and it would be nice to see the author utilize those occasionally.

Slow mover

What did you like best about My Daring Highlander? What did you like least?

The story was good, but slow. I never really got into the book.I won't be listening to it again.

What did you like best about this story?

From the middle to the end had enough action to keep me listening.

How could the performance have been better?

I didn't care for the sing song rhythm or the speed of the reader. He has a nice broge but the female voices were, shall we say not his strong suit. Perhaps have two readers, someone else for the female parts. I was manually able to speed it up though.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It movie would be better as a movie.

Any additional comments?

I'll be returning this book

Good

Any additional comments?

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

So, I have to say that this is the first book I've read/listened to by this author. And even though it's kind of in a series, it is literally it's own book. I did have to get a clarification from the author as to what a curse word that was repeated was (because even with headphones my hearing was being screwy and I was hearing differently and it wasn't making the least bit of sense but after email back it made SO MUCH MORE SENSE). I'm very thankful that the author was more than happy to answer my question. Despite my mishearing I still really enjoyed the book.

I REALLY love the fact that the author actually KNOWS Scottish geography and that it was shown very much in the book. That was a nice touch.

I really liked the narrator's voice (but that's me with a predilection towards deep voices and Scottish accents). He didn't read too fast or too slow. It was kept at a nice even pace through the whole book. And his brogue wasn't so thick that (people not me and not use to the thicker ones) you're left wondering what the heck was said.

Highlander books at their best

The stories by Vonda are so similar to the ones by Monica M. I wonder if they are one in the same. The stories are compelling.

DARING HIGHLANDER

Absolutely awesome! I so enjoyed this audible book! The narrator, awesome! A Scottish brogue for a Scottish Historical Romance, fantastic! Oh my, goodness, a definite must have in your audible library!
Now, to the story...An absolute fantastic Scottish Romance, one in which the reader/listerner will be held in awe. Breathtaking adventure, danger and romance, with Highlandes, Lasses, struggles and danger, what's not to love!
An absolute must have for fans of Scottish Historical Romance! Once again Ms. Sinclair has done an awesome job picking the narrator and compiling a fantastic and satisfying story! An awesome series!

Brilliant

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Another great book by Vonda that is brilliantly read by Dave Gillies. Gotta say I'm a fan of Scots and listening to a great book read by one is awesome. Vonda and Dave have a wonderful way of drawing you in and keeping your attention. I will definitely be listening to more of Dave, especially if it's a book by Vonda.
