    About this audiobook

    “You can’t help but fall in love with Lynsay Sands!”
     —New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd

     

    Lynsay Sands—the perennial USA Today and New York Times bestselling author well-known and loved for her delightful novels featuring the Argeneau family of vampires—once again shows us another side with Taming the Highland Bride, the second in the  wonderfully witty, supremely sexy historical romance series she kicked off with Devil of the Highlands. With Taming the Highland Bride, the incomparable Lynsay pays homage to the immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, as she delights readers with a tale of a smitten Scotsman’s determined efforts to tame his beautiful, hot-tempered fiancée, the notorious “Stewart Shrew.”

      This was a great continuation of the first book. Loved it!
    • 4/5
      As usual lovely story. Had the danger, romance and villain. The villain was obvious, and not just because I had read about the devil of the highlands but because of the voice used whenever the villain spoke ?.
      I enjoyed it as I do most of Sands book.
    • 4/5
      Ohh the poor man, LS must really not like him though, her portrayal of him is of a brilliant man as she puts him through the ringer. This book is slow to start but the story gets better as the book progress, both Alex and Merry are great characters and the mention of the two main characters from the first book is a nice touch. Again can only give it 4 stars as really cannot stand this narrator, sadly finds her quite boring though will have to listen to her again in the last book of this series.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book! Both the H&H were kind, hard working, likable people. Watching their relationship grow into love was sweet. There was a lot of interaction and dialogue between the two characters which I found very interesting. It was a very sweet romance novel.

      Taming the Highland Bride
      3 Stars

      After caring for her drunken father and brothers, Merry Stewart is only too happy to learn that she will be traveling to England to marry her betrothed. Unfortunately, upon her arrival it seems that she has gone from the frying pan into the fire as her fiancé is as inebriated as her family. It soon turns out that Alex is not the drunken sot he appears and that someone if determined not only to cause strife between the married couple but to remove Alex from the equation altogether.

      A sweet romance with likable characters. Alex is patient, loyal and understanding although for a supposedly seasoned warrior, he is constantly being knocked unconscious. Merry is charming and not nearly as shrewish as the title implies. She is also a resourceful woman and manages to save Alex more often than not. On a side note, the wedding night scene is reminiscent of that in Amanda Quick’s Seduction but not as cleverly executed.

      The mystery has potential but there are too many contrived situations and the villain is obvious. Moreover, Sands has an irritating tendency to set up a particular plot point and then have it drag on for a while before it is resolved.

      In sum, a light and easy read but nothing all that special.
    • 3/5
      I usually enjoy Lynsay Sands books, and this was no exception. While still entertaining, a lot of the humor was derived from slapstick situations. By the end I was thinking there was no way this man would survive if he got hit in the head and knocked unconscious one more time.Overall, this was a fun summer read.
    • 4/5
      I gave it 3 stars because it was difficult listening to the narrator with that horrible accent of a voice. I wished I could’ve finished the book but I could not force myself to. I believe that the book would’ve been a good one. I sure hope this narrator is not reading anymore of this author book it would be a shame.
    • 3/5
      I only just discovered Sands' historicals last year. I didn't realize she wrote medievals, only historicals. Since then I've found her novels to be quick, light reads. While this was more of the same, I wasn't quite as satisfied with it.

      I think many of the actions of the heroine were supposed to be kind of cutesy but they were kind of dry instead. I wasn't laughing or smiling over her antics as much as I have in the past. I'm not sure if it was my mood while reading or a reflection of the book but there you go. I think the problem might have been that they just went on too long. There were a ton of instances where she had to be clever and find solutions to problems (carting her husband around after he'd been bashed in the head or drugged) and that didn't leave a lot of time for the romance.

      Still, it was readable and I enjoyed the main story. I'm also looking forward to the next book.
    • 5/5
      Great book
    • 3/5
      This was a little more of a stretch of believability than I prefer, but that doesn't bother lots of people. I liked that the heroine saved the hero sometimes. Overall it was kind of middling though.
