Not being consulted on whom one is to marry AND being married by proxy did not please Anne, but she accepted her fate until she met Calum, the pirate laird who burst into her quarters on board the ship sailing her to her husband.

As they fall in love and try to respect her married status, I fell in love with them. They showed great strength in trying to come together for th This was a whirlwind of a story. They showed great strength in trying to come together for their happily ever after. Dec 19, Eileen Dandashi rated it it was amazing. This is an audiobook review Book Synopsis: When a rugged Highlander kicks in her door, she prays for a swif This is an audiobook review Book Synopsis: The story itself was an excellent one.

She engaged me from the first few pages. Her choice of words depicting the scene only engrossed me further. She smoothly moves from scene to scene with plenty of action, suspense and with a swoonable alpha hero, keeping me flipping the pages, however I 'read' it by audiobook. He was quite an honor-bound man. He would not take a woman not his, even when it was offered him.

He was duty-bound to his clan, and would not have them starve the winter. As far as he was concerned, they needed to stay in England where they belonged. But with his determination to save his clan he found his destiny, the Lady Anne, Baroness to Lord Walton. Lady Anne, even though married by proxy to a baron almost three times her age, and still a virgin, she found herself face to face with the most amazing masculine specimen she had seen in her life.

Yes, my friends, she had encountered our alpha hero Laird Calum MacLeod. She was drawn to the Laird as he was to her. You could say that the Laird was an honorable pirate. He took what he had to and restrained himself when it was only for his own benefit. What man can do that? Our fair Lady Anne, saw life a bit differently and here we have the tug of war between what is honorable, what is right, and what is absolutely necessary to keep breathing and living. This was a wonderfully exciting story and made more so by the excellent narrator Paul Woodson.

When a male voice reads dialog for a woman, most are able to carry it well. Paul Woodson, in my opinion, takes it further. Women, not only speak differently than men, but think differently. I was quite impressed. Paul got inside the heads of the main characters with this thrilling tale. His voice only enhanced this exiting story as the emotional tone of the characters flowed exquisitely through the telling. I love connecting with authors and narrators who make a great team in producing an audiobook. When he was a lad love that word his family lived in England where he did graduate work at Cambridge.

I asked Paul how he had such great accents in this reading. His answer was thus: He has narrations of 23 books presently on Amazon. If you are a medieval romance historical romance reader, check out his narrations of books from Ceci Giltenan and Lily Baldwin. If any of my author friends need a narrator who speaks French and German among other talents, seek him out. George Spark Book Award. Since then, she has won many other writing awards.

As they spend more and more time together, they realize their growing attraction for the other is mutual. But as Anne is married to Calum's enemy, they can do nothing about it. Anne must honor her vows even as the disgust for her husband increases with each tale of his misdeeds. Anne's husband has finally agreed to the ransom terms. They must come up with a plan to get her back to him without Calum being caught for kidnapping. Will they both find the happiness they deserve? I really enjoyed this novel. Being on a ship is one of my favorite settings as the characters are in such a confined space they have to interact with each other!

I love when the hero is a very dominant male, but is not afraid to show his softer side. Calum is one such man and I fell in love with him! Jarecki did a wonderful job of keeping me intrigued with the storyline which included many plot twists. She did an outstanding job of pulling my heartstrings throughout the story.

I was laughing and crying throughout. Jareck sure pulled me into this little bunch of characters. I can't wait for the next book in the series, The Highland Henchman, which features Bran whom was Anne's chaperone throughout most of the story. Jarecki did an outstanding job of pulling my heartstrings throughout the story.

She definitely has a new fan in me! Thanks go to NetGalley and Rapture Books for a copy of the book in exchange of an honest review. Nov 01, Dawn rated it liked it Shelves: Well, I must admit this was a difficult one to review. I would have given 4 stars if the plot took a more believable turn. The hero was perfect. The herione was meh, didn't love her didn't hate her. Too many lulls, not enough insight regarding the antagonist. Love Well, I must admit this was a difficult one to review. Love scenes were meh. Ok how many times can one stop oneself from passion to put it politely for the sake of honor?

Calum had amazing self control to the point of ridiculous. Anne also was ridiculous in that she would toss away this amazing man for "honors sake" to marry a man old enough to be her grandfather who is also known as a evil tyrant? I am sorry just couldn't buy it. I did like the story enough to finish. This could have been a great novel if the author chose a few different paths for the characters. A bit more character development is needed as well. They were all a bit flat. Feb 25, Samantha rated it it was amazing Shelves: I seriously enjoyed this book.

From the characters being well developed to the villains, to the twists and turns, to the description. It did take me a few days to read thanks to work but if I had time I prolly would have read it in one sitting. I love Pirates and I love stories about the Highlanders. Add them together and I couldn't wait to read this book. Calum has been given his own keep to take care of and being the second son it's more than he could ever wish for.

Anne is a lady who is taking care of her family estate since her father passed away and her uncle has become guardian. She's been married by proxy to a Baron whom she has seen before but doesn't remember, didn't consent, and well she is less than thrilled.

From kidnapping and ransoming, to battles to love. This book has it all and it flows so well. I insanely loved it and can't wait for the next one. View all 4 comments.

The author has done a marvelous job writing this book and will have you laughing, crying and falling in love with these pirates and the Lady Ann, And most of all wanting for more, I was sad to see this book end becuz it was that good.. Mar 10, Zoe rated it it was ok. I downloaded the book and realized that I have tried to read this book before.

The writing is very promising. I just found the plots and characters bland. There was no buildup for the relationship. They just met and all of a sudden found each other irresistible. Instant appreciation of physique and beauty, I get. I get bored if the characters already have the hots for each other just like that. The story has to show a little more tension to warrant such intense attraction. I did not get that in this story. Calum has to be the most tamed tough highlander I have read about.

He does not sound like a brawny highlander at all. I was yawning reading about him. Sorry I like my highlanders hot. Mar 11, Pat W Coffey rated it it was amazing.

This book deserves Five Stars plus. Amy Jarecki immerses the reader into the sights and sounds of mid-fifteenth century Scotland by vividly and historically placing the reader in Lady Anne's world. Anne lives in a world were woman are used as pawns to enrich the family's coffers. Even though Anne managed the family's estate, her uncle was in charge of the family's money and personal decisions.

The only thing she knew was that he was almost 40 years older than her and that he was a cruel warrior and hated the Scots. They fall in love but she is married to his worse enemy and things get quite complicated. For me, it has some flaws but my overall enjoyment was enough and I liked most of the pace used to move the story along. Feb 11, Janell Sutherland rated it liked it Shelves: This is a Scottish Highlander book set in Why did I read it, then?

Because the title was such a blunt statement of the plot, and because of the cover. Have you looked at it enough? So, the setup is this: Calum is a fairly new laird of a small Scottish island. His father gave him the title and the island as compensation for being a less-important second son.

The trouble is, the people on the island are starving, and their living quarters are falling apart. Calum does what he can, but he also decides to plunder a British supply ship to help his new civilization flourish. His motives are noble, you see. Anne, unfortunately, has been hiding in her cabin, and Calum is shocked to find such a delicate English lass with such a heaving bosom on his new ship.

Anne sees Calum as this tall, strong, noble giant who is much more young and virile than her husband. Calum thinks Anne is the most beautiful woman ever, and he imagines that his large hands could span her waist. They spend their time on the ship staring at each other longingly.

They kiss a few times, and feel guilty about it afterwards. The first half of the book moved slowly for me, maybe because it was a lot of castle life and inner longing. Is that the clan culture, then? Is this showing the rough, rugged, Highlander lifestyle? Things picked up in the second half once the ransom plot kicked in. The climax had a lot of action, and Calum got to prove that he was pretty much indestructible.

This felt like an old-fashioned book to me, but maybe the super-human Scot plus English maiden trope is just how Highlander books are done. Calum was good, strong, and noble. Anne was sweet, beautiful, and smarter than the average villager. The bad guy was bad. Kilts were worn, logs were thrown, virtue was protected. It was a little bit exciting, and then they lived happily ever after. B- This review was originally posted on Red Hot Books at: Feb 23, Darkest Cravings rated it it was amazing. Review by Karen Amazing Scottish read!

She was wedded under proxy, to a man that could have been her grandfather and his known for his attacks on Scotland and their people. Scared but not having much of a choice Anne is on her way to him with the ship The Flying Swan. When Anne meets the captain of this crusade she is taken back by his size and strength.

What would become of her in the hands of savages? A rugged man stared through the dimly lit doorway. Sword drawn, with a cropped copper beard, he glared at her with fierce, steely eyes. She was certain he could kill her with that look. Anne held up her knife, shaking like a sapling in the wind. At first uncertain of what to-do with the woman, Calum discovers that she is of a wealthy family and decides to bargain her save return, and feed his people at the same time.

But as time moved on and Anne is in his presence and around his people, things starts to change for the Laird. The thickening beneath his kilt shot to rigid. He stepped in and gazed down upon her lovely face. She must be returned or war would fall upon his already suffering people. Two hearts torn by responsibly, honor and undeniably love. At one stage I feared that Scottish romance novels where becoming extinct, but with authors like Amy out there I can say that we are still in for a great adventures filled with every emotion possible.

As for emotions, what a rollercoaster. While reading I experienced everything humanly possible.

Opening Hours & Admission

Humor, despair, love, hope, anger all weaved into a beautiful and exciting plot. There were moments when I dreaded turning the page, in fear that this author would break my heart. She had mercy in the end, but the journey towards it was extraordinary and heartbreaking. I will be following this series, and I hope and pray that it is just the first of many to come.

But a lady on board was the last thing Laird Calum expected when he set deck on the Flying Swan. What to do with her was the question? He decides to ransom her off and set sail for his homeland. The plan was simple, get the ransom for her and deliver her to her murderous husband.

But to keep her would bring doom to his people, he has no choice but to deliver his heart to his enemy, or does he? What a wonderful and amazing read this was! I was so captured by this story that I read this book in one day! She captures not only the heart of Laird Calum, but also his people and fall helplessly in love with all of them and Scotland. She is strong and determined, yet still keep her grace and head in a few situations. Near the end of the story, Anne sets aside her ladyship and takes on the role of a woman fighting for her love ones. I love Scottish men, just love them!

I love everything Scottish! And Calum just made it even more epic. He was such a gentlemen through the whole story, and yet he also provided some intense moments, keeping the storyline intriguing. He was the perfect hero! A well written novel with an amazing plot. Great writing from the author. I was so excited to see that this was just the first in what I can only believe would be an amazing series.

I am definitely watching out for number two in this series.

Well done and a whopping 5 Stars from me. Feb 28, Mistress of the Dark Path rated it it was amazing Shelves: Some books take me awhile to get into, but not this one. From the start it grabbed my attention and kept it throughout. No matter what they feel, though, they have duties and responsibilities that they know will force them apart in the end.

The reader is taken through a story with adventure, humor, and heartache. I fell in love with this couple even as they fell for each other. I also liked her kindness and generosity. I normally like my heroes a little more dark and damaged, but Calum was such a refreshing change of pace. This was truly an amazing love story that kept me in suspense throughout. Not only that, the author did an impressive job of including a lot of little details to fit it into the time and place.

I have no doubt she must have spent countless hours researching to make the setting so vivid. Some historical romance authors skimp in this area, but I can honestly say Ms. Jarecki is not one of them. I am most impressed with this author and will definitely be following her future work.
