Bastard daughter to the king, Rosamunde was raised in a convent and wholly prepared to take the veil...until King Henry declared she would wed Aric, one of his most valiant knights. Suddenly she found herself promising to love, honor, and obey.

Too frequently perhaps, for the king intends to curb their constant bickering by ordering them to wed. Helen can't refuse a royal decree, but she'll do everything possible to drive away her devilishly attractive husband-to-be.

The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family's bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when powerful enemies threaten, each Douglas lass will find she must face them alone. Captured by a Laird Haunted by his father's violent death, David Hume, the new laird of Wedderburn, sets out to make his name so feared that no one will dare harm his family again. The treacherous ally who played on his father's weakness is dead and beyond David's vengeance, but his castle and young widow are ripe for the taking. The moment David lays eyes on the dark-haired beauty defending her wee daughters, however, he knows this frail-looking lass is the one person who could bring him to his knees. Wed at thirteen to a man who tried daily to break her spirit, Lady Alison Douglas is looking forward to a long widowhood. But when the fearsome warrior known as the Beast of Wedderburn storms her gates, she finds herself, once again, forced to wed a stranger. Alison is only a pawn to serve his vengeance, so why does this dark warrior arouse such fiery passion and an unwelcome longing in her heart? With death and danger looming, these two wounded souls must learn to trust each other; for only love can save them.

Publisher's Summary
She was ready to let her heart run wild....
Merry Stewart has had enough! Enough of her brothers, whose behavior would make even the most improper lady blush. Enough of their Highland home, which would surely have fallen to ruin were it not for her. She dreams of escaping into the arms of her betrothed, Alexander d'Aumesbery-even though they haven't yet met. But when they do, Merry is devastated. It seems he's no better than the men in her family.
So beautiful, so brazen . . . From the moment he meets Merry, Alexander is determined to make her his. Desperate to convince her he's nothing like the members of her roguish clan, he will prove he is every bit the well-mannered gentleman. Yet, beneath it all beats a heart as intense and uncontrollable as hers. And finally, when his life is threatened, Merry realizes he's the husband she's been waiting for . . . and their passion becomes the one thing that cannot be tamed.

This is a great series
Light funny listening, mystery subplot that doesn't over power. It takes a while to get used to the narrator but after listening I really did like her heavy scottish accent.

Odd title but good book!
As usual Lynsay Sands has given us another spellbinding and intriguing tale. I always enjoy her plots with their great Loves and all the twists and turns of a good mystery. Her characters spring to life and her visuals form distinct settings for her stories. I enjoy a good Highland tale with it's inevitably hunk of a hero and beautiful heroine wrapped up in a epic love story. This is the quintessential historical romance at its finest.
NARRATOR : Marianna Palka is never among my favorites or even close yet I don't totally avoid her either. It is the odd cadence of her performance that bothers me. Her characters are each unique and recognizable and she does not speak with distracting mouthy sounds. Listen to her in the snippet!
CREDITWORTY? Yes.
HEAT FACTOR: Steamy!!

Stupid. Vulgar. Sustains belief.
Stupid. Vulgar. Sustains belief. At any point in the book up to Chapter 18, these three descriptions can be described. Honestly, Once we hit Chapter 18, the story was much better. The writing is good.
For example. The main character, Mary, is told by Edna, her step-mother, that she has to consummate her marriage and there will be blood. But when the husband is too unconscious to perform, Mary cuts her upper thigh...right on her pulse...the artery. Mary slices her frickin artery! The blood is so much that there is no way Mary would live. She spills at least half a gallon of blood! The author explains that the wound would not clot. NO SHIT! BECAUSE SHE SLICED HER ARTERY! In reality, the author would have killed the MC in the first few chapters and is too ignorant of anatomy to realize this is exactly what she's written. Stupid.
The author is obsessed with the line "Break your fast." This is my second book in this series and I am sick of hearing "break your fast." "Did you break your fast?" "Come break your fast." Be sure you break your fast..." Redundant!
Mary hates alcohol and associates whiskey with the lazy drunks that are her father and brothers. So, naturally, the author obsesses over alcohol consumption over the first 18 chapters of the book rather than the romance. Sick and tired of hearing about alcohol after chapter 3.
Mary is so used to doing work for her father and brothers that she decides to train the men in her husband's army. Bull. Frickin. Shit. No. Bad monkey! Mary has no sword training. No strength to even lift a sword. Has no armor, but she is going to don a full suit of armor and wield a sword while telling experienced warriors how to fight? SERIOUSLY? NO! There is rank and order in an army and if her husband can't do it, his standard bearer and/or general would! Not his wee wife! Stupid!
I can go on, but I won't. There are multiple moments like this that just had me saying this is so stupid. Edna is obsessed with everyone else's sex life (based on both book 1 and 2 of this series). Characters boldly walk around fully nude in one scene then are prudish in the next. WTF? There is no character consistency. Just, terrible story writing.
The plus side...
The narrator is MUCH better. I believe Palka read through her reviews from book #1 and really stepped up her game! Great job, Marianna! Much better!

Narrator ruined funny parts
This was a great story, but the narrator ruined what was supposed to be funny because of how contrived the voice for the character was. She is also very monotone and doesn't give the characters much depth or feeling, which really takes away from the story. Would be much better read by a different person.
