About this listen

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.

A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter . . . and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.

Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters . . . and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

can Scots Gaelic really be so different from Irish? To pronounce Bealtaine (May) 'Belltayne' is ridiculous; 'a chroí' (my heart / my love) does not end with 'a', which was how Carmen said it throughout. She said 'cairde' (friend) as 'carriage' and 'baile' (town / village) as bally. It jarred all the way through the story and shows a complete absence of research.

Awful pronunciation of Gaelic words

I loved this book but the Scottish accent put on by the narrator was AWFUL. Like comically bad. Like, played it to my friends at dinner and everyone was in stitches bad. It pulls you out of the story a bit but quite funny.

Great story but that accent…

Short and a bit recreated version of Outlander. Basically rip off. Nothing unexpected. If somebody wants a background noise while doing smth the book is good for that.

Not amused
