Summary
She never expected to marry...
Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home... so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed.
He never expected to fall in love...
From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride... and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her. For though Annabel's not the bride he planned for, she's the only woman he desires...

A nice story, but not a romping Highland yarn.
Any additional comments?
This book is easy listening at its best (you really don't have to pay that much attention to it). Annabel and Ross get along from the start, and don't have a disagreement throughout the entire book. She gets along with his soldiers, his clan, his family... it's all just a bit blah. To liven things up, Annabel and Ross both get whacked over the head a few times by a mysterious attacker, then some older women do too for good measure. Surprisingly, in spite of sustaining several head injuries within just a few days, Annabel does not seem to have any lasting damage. Ross doesn't seem too bothered that his wife keeps getting attacked, mostly when she happens to be naked. He's super-chilled, and nothing really stirs him up- except annoying sisters.
I was surprised when I had only two chapters left of this book, because it felt like the story hadn't yet got going. If you're looking for hot-blooded, passionate highlanders, look elsewhere. This is my first experience of Lynsay Sands, and I'm not sure I'll be seeking out her other titles.
The book is ably read by Mary Jane Wells, who is always a pleasure to listen to. The only problem I had was that she pronounced plaid as "played" rather than "plad". I have noticed this is another book she narrated with a Scotsman in it, but then the word was hardly used and therefore easily ignored. Here it crops up all the time, so was much more distracting.

Very enjoyable in the end
I really wasn't sure about the narration, to begin with, but the story was quite quirky, so the narration actually fitted in the end. I haven't listened to too many HR stories set in Scotland, so it was refreshing to have new locations and language to get used to. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series

Excellent Romp
If you’re looking for some fluffy, steamy, historical-ish (sorry, there are lots of modern idioms amidst the historical background - best to treat it as a fantasy) rom-com then you’ve come to the right place. What actually lifts the story above everything else that I’ve read in this genre is the performance of the narrator. The comical timing and verbal delivery of Mary Jane Wells is priceless. The best I’ve heard. I hope that other authors consider Ms Wells as a narrator for their own projects because I want to hear more of her work.

Passable.
This story at least is slightly believable, except for the head injuries and scenario of everytime you have sex in a secluded place you are attacked and of course the "not so secret" passage makes another appearance.
I wonder whether the author knows anything about concussion and its effects, as she has the same person hit frequently over the head. In fact this is the main injury to most in the book. The heroine is dragged from a convent and force to marry her eldest sister's betrothed. A big play is made of her unsuitable for the role, yet all the hero seem to cares about is, that she is " bedable". All the characters are one dimensional and play their parts as though they are actors on a stage, suffering from "stage fright". WOODEN

Worth a one time read
Great start, but come the middle I was board!
The final straw was when the lovely Annabel who’s highlander love was laying in the bed, with no one knowing if he was going to wake( read the book) decided, instead of staying by her one true loves beside and wait for him to hopefully wake , no she decided to go get a pastry and leave the highland hunk to it ... that was too far... ending obvious, yawn fest in the middle, but the start was perfect ,loved the way the lady read the book though she did a good job, could of been a super star classic, but flopped, still worth a listen though

Sweet and funny
I've really started to enjoy Mary Jane Wells as narrator. The story was sweet and funny and at times had me laughing out aloud. However, some lapses of contemporary idioms did jar slightly at what was otherwise an enjoyable listen

Very sweet story
Enjoyed the story very much. I liked the narrator too very much. There a very few female narrators I like and Mary Jane Wells is one of them now.
