Story
Widowed and forced to remarry in three years' time or forfeit her son's inheritance, Daisy Bristol, Lady Chatwick, has plenty of suitors vying for her hand - and her fortune. But a letter from a long-lost love sends Daisy and her young son to her Scottish Highland estate to buy time for his return. Along the way she encounters the powerful Cailean Mackenzie, laird of Arrandale and a notorious smuggler, and she is utterly - though unwillingly - bewitched.

Story
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.

Summary
Wicked intrigue unfolds as an unlikely marriage leads to a path of risky desire in the lush, green Scottish Highlands.
Born into riches and groomed in English luxury, Margot Armstrong didn't belong in a Scottish chieftain's devil-may-care world. Three years ago she fled their marriage of convenience and hasn't looked back - except to relive the moments spent in wild, rugged Arran McKenzie's passionate embrace. But as their respective countries' fragile unity threatens to unravel, Margot must return to her husband to uncover his role in the treachery before her family can be accused of it.
Red-haired, green-eyed Margot was Arran's beautiful bride. Her loss has haunted him, but her return threatens everything he has gained. As the Highland mists carry whispers of an English plot to seize McKenzie territory, he must outmaneuver her in games of espionage - and seduction. But even as their secrets tangle together, there's nothing to prevent love from capturing them both and leading them straight into danger.

A great story - highly recommended 5*
This is another new author that I found whilst looking for books narrated by Derek Perkins!
Born into riches and groomed to just look pretty and attend balls, Margot Armstrong is forced into a marriage of convenience to Arran Mackenzie, a Scottish Chieftain, and after a couple of months of unhappiness she flees back to England, with her tail between her legs.
The story starts three years later when their respective countries' fragile unity threatens to unravel and her father forces Margot to return to Arran to uncover his role in a treacherous plot.
Arran is as surprised when Margot turns up unexpectedly and has to find out the reason; and whether she is friend or foe.
As the Highland mists carry whispers of an English plot to seize McKenzie territory, Arran must outmaneuvre Margot in games of espionage…and seduction. But even as their secrets tangle together, there's nothing to prevent love from capturing them both and leading them straight into danger.
What I particularly liked about the story was the development of Margot's character, from a spoilt brat aged 17 when married off, and ultimately how she deals with all the events that unfurl.
The pace is fast with an intelligent story, the supporting characters are great and will keep you spellbound right to the very end - full of sexual tension, angst, betrayal, treachery. You name it, it's there! I can't wait to read #2 of the series.
Derek Perkins is one of my favourite narrators but on this occasion he gave Margot a Yorkshire accent and then kept slipping. It would be better to be accent free. His Scottish dialect is great! also Knox's accent was terribly effeminate.

Sexy, highland romance!
The narrator is just as important as the author for me in audio book so when I find a great combination, I'm hooked! This is a story where you really see the characters grow and mature before they find happiness. I liked how the lead evolved from a spoiled brat to a thoughtful woman. This is Highland Grooms, Book 1. Looking forward to Book 2!

First book I haven’t finished in a long time.
Unfortunately, the author beat the point of Margo needing forgiveness to death. There never really was a reason that Aaron could fall in love with her, it seemed that everything she did was simply “the worst” and “unforgivable.” I really do hate a groveling heroine, it seemed that she could never catch a break.
If Aaron loved her so much when they were first married, why did he never go after her? In my opinion the true hero of a book would have gone after the woman that he loved, even if she left him after four months of marriage. I honestly couldn’t take the strange back-and-forth a minute longer, I had about three hours left and I marked it as finished.
I really don’t understand anyone who could give this book a five star review. You can literally read any other Scottish historical romance and get so much more satisfaction from another books characters and plot. It’s like the author had no other ideas except for, “I think the heroine needs to gravel on the floor the entire time, and the hero thumbs his nose down at her, but secretly loves her.”
Derik Perkins is a gem, and I have heard him in far better works than this.
In the end, I would try a different book, I’m still in shock that it was so insufferably bad.

Just horrible
It’s a ‘he hates her, holds her accountable for every problem, ignores her, uses her for sex’ type book. She’s an airhead, truly an idiot. I’m supposed to be thankful he forgives her in the end. Yikes! Like Derek Perkins tho. It deserves a minus 5 because I expect more from this author.
