He was a man exiled from society—handsome, unpredictable, and proud. Dark rumours surrounded his name. But Anne Burnett had signed a marriage contract binding her to Aiden Black, the Earl of Tiebauld. And although she′d never met him, she′s determined to keep her word and make theirs a marriage in truth. Because a well-bred lady with little fortune to recommend her has no choice.

From the moment she arrived, Anne fell in love with Kelwin Castle and its roguishly handsome laird. By day, he instils a fierce loyalty in his people with his masterful ways … and by night, he tempts Anne to surrender her innocence to him. But while he is willing to offer his body, Aiden refuses to give Anne his heart … making her wonder what prevents him from truly claiming her as his wife.

The Story is nice if you are in for a romantic adventures story. But the narrator is spoiling the joy of listing a little bit as it sound to me that she is chewing gum while reading. If you can ignore this than this is a good story to listen to.

Story is enchanting

A very enjoyable listen. Set against the background of Jacobite rebellion and Scottish clearance, love flourishes after an unpromising beginning.

Aidan's release of a prisoner from the clutches of the English is one of the most ingenious, daring and sensual plots that I have read in quite a while!

Unlike the previous reviewer, I found the narration by Virginia Leishman nearly perfect. Her reading brought the characters to life in a way that could hardly be bettered ... at least for me.

I will definitely buy more of these audio versions when/if available and in the meantime will continue reading hard copy from Maxwell's extensive back-list.

An Excellent Romantic Adventure

Annoying

The quality of the writing is good but the story would be suited to teenagers if it wasn't so centred on the hero's crotch. The narrator's accents slipped.
