About this listen

Highland laird Conor McTiernay had always dreamed of an enduring love. But the reality of women who desired him only for his title and lands made him swear off marriage forever. That is until he first set eyes on the Englishwoman his men found hiding in the forest. Beneath the dirt and grime it was clear Laurel Cordell was beautiful. But would she prove to be yet another beguiling seductress?

Laurel trusted that the Scottish chieftain would keep her safe from the cruel laird from whom she had escaped. Looking deep into Conor's silver eyes she saw not only his calculating warrior ways but his quick arousal to passion. But before they can explore the growing desire between them, their newfound love is threatened by secrets from her past....

Pace of book suffered with unnecessary detail at times when more detail sometimes skipped in the interesting bits!

Two fierce individuals clashing often

The book could've been quite a few chapters shorter than it was.

It was overly & unnecessarily long.

Most of the book consists of the main characters arguing & fighting with each other... after the 3rd (inane) argument, it became quite tedious.

They both just flew off the handle constantly, with very little provocation & almost pointlessly so...

The resolution to the "conflict" after 10 long hours, happens in seconds & in the background.

TBH, it all just felt very contrived & I still don't understand why it took so long.

The heroine keeps a secret from the hero, who eventually (took way too long as he's given a massive clue at the very beginning of the book) figures it out & then she gets mad that he figured it out, but didn't tell her... huh?!?

Also the deadline seems ridiculously arbitrary & nonsensical... she's extremely concerned, her actions might've (would've in the real world) created a serious & immediate backlash, but she wants to wait until Spring... because reasons¿¡¿

Winter is mentioned, but from the timeline they met in midsummer... so, her "waiting" is completely irrational & nonsensical.

Had her concerns been right, there would've been a death that she would've been responsible for!
