Elephant in the room
Are we going to just ignore the fact that the plot is a complete rip off Outlander? OK. This was a quick and enjoyable listen. However, the female narrator’s voice was breathy and melodramatic and really took me out of the story multiple times.
Some steamy scenes but nothing crazy.
Sweet Highland romance
If your looking for a story to get lost in this is perfect. I loved the story between Amy and Craig from beginning to end. I also enjoyed the narrators who brought the characters to life.
Fantasy historical fiction done wrong
I picked this audiobook up for free because I enjoy Shane East's narration, but even he can't save a bad book. The story is trite and predictable, the characters two dimensional, and the writing mediocre at best. The language read like modern English with a few words like "ye" and "mayhap" thrown in at random to make it sound "old-timey." And while I don't expect meticulous historical accuracy in historical fiction, especially historical romance, this was worse than usual.
Shane East's narration was not his best; his Scottish accent is caricaturish. And Emma Wilder has one emotional setting - she always sounds like she's about to cry. I definitely won't be reading the rest of the series.
