Scotland 1556. No one can know her true identity, and the castle's mysterious hostage is irresistible, but will it bring betrayal - or even death?
After overhearing a plot to kill Mary Queen of Scots, Abby Gordon is sent from Paris to the Laird of Glenorchy’s home at Kilchurn Castle for safety. Disguised as a boy, she becomes a lute player among the household musicians where she encounters the laird’s hostage, the attractive Iain MacGregor, a pawn in the laird’s struggle for power in Scotland’s turbulent politics. But is Iain really a hostage to fortune or is he playing his own dangerous game? As Abby’s feelings intensify for this Glenorchy hostage she is caught in the web of intrigue that permeates the household and is drawn deeper and deeper into danger.
With spice, wit, and action-packed plotting, Kristin Gleeson’s Highland Ballad Series is as compelling as Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels.

Historia
August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of - and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city - after all, she’s never been much of a reader.

Historia
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. 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.

Historia
“And you are telling me,” said Gil Cunningham, “that David Drummond vanished away forty years ago and is now returned, seemingly not a day older?” “That’s about the sum of it,” agreed Sir William Stewart. In Sir William’s remote part of Scotland it seems almost possible that a young boy could have been stolen away by the fairies and returned forty years later, no older – and if he isn’t Davie Drummond, who is he? And then he suffers a succession of near-fatal ‘accidents’.

Interesting historical novel w a little romance
The Hostage of Glenorchy is an interesting historical novel about a widow who, when sent from France to Scotland by her father to avoid plots at court, decides to dress as a man in order to pursue playing her music, The story is entertaining with a little romance, although, at least in this book, the romance is not central to the story. This is the first book of a trilogy, so alas, the story does not end with the closing of the book. I would like to read or listen to the next two books and find out what happens next.
The narrator of the audiobook does a pretty good job. She has an accent that fits the story but can make her a little harder to understand at times. She also lacks some of the variety in her voice that I would have appreciated.

Good Historical Romance. Not too racy.
This was a great read! An easy to flow plot with interesting characters, It’s one of those books that you can listen to while doing other things and that makes it great. The narration was consistent and flowed smoothly. ( no awkward multiple change in accent attempts)
Having read the reviews before starting the book, I was well aware that it is not a stand alone story. and also I agree that the author did an outstanding job of leaving the reader wanting more!

Sent to Scotland to learn the language.
Abby Gordon overhears a plot to kill the Queen. So is sent from Paris to Scotland. Disguised as a boy so she can play the music only allowed to men. She meets the hostage held in Scotland. Does he know she is a woman? or does he think she is a young lad? The narrator gave a good performance on the many characters in this novel.

Good story, leaves you wondering
I realize tis is part one but the ending does not close the book. It is more like the end of a chapter. I prefer multi volume books that each have their own ending but are continued in the next volume. I did not feel like tis was a complete book.
The narration fits the book. You can listen to a sample so make sure you like her narration style and voice.

good but not enough resolution
I enjoyed this book and definitely want to know what happens next. I do think it ended rather abruptly without enough resolution. I realize it is the first of a series but it didn't feel like a complete book but more of a chapter ending.
