The Hellion and the Highlander

By: Lynsay Sands

Narrated by: Marianna Palka

“You can’t help but fall in love with Lynsay Sands!”
—Christina Dodd

Once again, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lynsay Sands displays another side of her extraordinary talent with The Hellion and the Highlander, a sensuous and wonderfully witty love story set in the breathtaking countryside of Scotland. The tremendously popular author of the Argeneau paranormal vampire romance series, Sands is equally adept at historical romance, as she demonstrates in her third Highland romp, perfect for fans of Julie Garwood, Jill Barnett, and Teresa Medieros—and a delightful companion to her own Devil of the Highlands and Taming the Highland Bride.

Oh my god!

I loved this book! It was drop dead hillarious! How can a love scene be both erotic and hillarious! I loved the narrator after listening for a while. Give it a try!!

He thinks she is pretty

The English girl thinks she is ugly – that is what she has been told because she has red hair and a birthmark on her cheek. She also has the fierce temper of a hellion. Her brother brings home to England a Scottish Laird who has a head wound and is unconscious. The Laird and her brother have been prisoners of the infidels for 3 years but escaped. When the Laird wakes up the girl thinks he cannot see and therefore does not know she is ugly. In reality he can see and he thinks she is beautiful. The girl’s father has been trying to get her married, but no one wants her, until the Laird arrives. He takes her home to Scotland.

The Laird has a problem back at his castle in Scotland. His father and brothers are drunkards and let the castle run to rack and ruin while the Laird was gone. To make things even worse, someone is trying to kill the Laird and makes many attempts on his life. The Laird is lucky and is not killed. As the book unfolds, we see how the Laird tackles his problems at his castle and how he and the hellion girl get along. We also find out the identity of the person trying to kill the Laird. This is an entertaining story and I like the way the author builds the characters. The narrator is good, with a broad Scottish accent.

bad reader!

Any additional comments?

If you can make it through the boring lady reading the book, it might be good.

The story line the family love

The story line and the twists amid turns of the story I enjoyed it very much

Finally!

Book 1 of this series was okay, but the narrator was TERRIBLE. Book 2, the narrator was MUCH better, but the story was GARBAGE.

Book 3 was finally the proper balance of good story, good writing, and good narrating! Finally! Both have found their stride!

With finishing this book I was more than happy to start up the next Highlander series by Sands.

Would recommend starting with this book and just skipping the first two.
