Black Richard's Heart

The MacCulloughs, Book 1

By: Suzan Tisdale

Narrated by: Brad Wills

Nearly killed while trying to win back his ancestral home, Black Richard MacCullough is left scarred and mangled; but some scars run far deeper than mere skin. No longer the handsome devil or kind man of his youth, now he focuses solely on rebuilding everything that was lost to the brutal Chisolms and traitorous MacRays. Revenge - while not nearly as important as keeping his clan from starving - is the only thing that keeps his bruised heart beating.

With his clan on the brink of starvation and annihilation, Black Richard doesn’t believe his life could get worse. Until King David II decides to put an end to the border wars himself, via a marriage between Black Richard and Aeschene MacRay, the daughter of his sworn enemy.

Locked away and all but forgotten because she is deemed imperfect and useless by her father, Aeschene MacRay holds no hope of ever having a husband and family of her own. But hope is the only thing she has left: Hope that her vision will miraculously return and that she will regain her father’s approval.

But when news arrives that she is to be married off to the chief of her father’s enemy, she has only two choices: put her faith and hope in the monster that is Black Richard MacCullough or remain in the prison her father has created for her.

When you’ve lost everything, any risk is worth the taking.

ohhhh Such a treat

This was an absolutely amazing story. The true example of love being blind. Such an amazing read at found a new author that I can really appreciate. For the story is historical yet romantic and fulfilling I think I cried I laughed. I went through all of my emotions which I think a good book should evoke.

story was solid. the performance fantastic

story was solid, it didn't have an arcing conclusion, kind of just muddled. very hallmark epilogue, which was enjoyable . the performance fantastic.

One of Her Best (I say that about all of them)!!!

You can always count on Susan Tizdale to capture your heart with beautiful stories replete with profound messages that apply to our lives today; and Brad Wills to deliver them with a magical touch. I have all of Suzan's stories and she's one of very few authors whose stories I'm compelled to read and/or listen to more than once! The biggest challenge always is waiting for the next story to be released! Sometimes, if I'm patient enough, I'll wait so I can stack them up and binge like Netflix series 😄 but having that patience is a challenge in and of itself! Thank you, Suzan, for another one that's made me laugh & cry in equal measure! ☺️

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I was hooked the first few moments and was finding myself fitting in the story whenever I got a moment. I’ve been missing that of late so I’m very happy with this book.

Sometimes I can see some of the foolish behavior in the characters but that’s what they are for, not perfect but flawed and finding their way.

I’m on to the next book!!

Black Richard’s Heart

I loved this story!! It’s good to read a story about imperfect people with hearts of gold!!

Ahhh… Black Richard

Swoon. Loved this book. It left me sighing at the happiest of endings. Both characters are wonderful and Black Richard is a man anyone would love! Totally recommend…

Fantastic book to listen to!!

I enjoyed every minute of this book. It was wonderfully written and narrated very well. Each character has so much life and depth...I highly recommend it!!!

Loved this Audible book.

I'm a big fan of medieval romances. I especially enjoyed Black Richard's Heart. This book had almost everything I like in any romance story. The primary female and male characters were strong and relatable. There were two very mischievous boys who displayed true character once they came under the positive influence of their brother's wife. There were lots of strong women. There was an evil trouble-making female, and greedy unscrupulous men. There was high drama, along with much humor. The only thing missing was a dog or cat or some other type of pet. Lest I forget, the narrator was excellent. I love Brad Wills' voice. He was exceptionally good in this book. Certain sections of the book almost made me swoon. It was just the way his voice got all deep. I love Suzan Tisdale's books. I'm about to check and see if this is a series. If so, I'm moving on to the next one.

loved it

I so enjoyed this story. It flowed wonderfully. It was better than I expected.
Characters were well developed and the narration was just fantastic. Brad Wills was a great narrator. Thanks for the great listen!

Outstanding

Suzan Tisdale never writes anything less than outstanding stories. She just has a gift. This story melts your heart in so many ways. I laughed, I got mad at a few characters & I literally had tears falling from my eyes. It’s like I was picked up & carried away from the very beginning. And narrator Brad Wills brought every single word to life with great emotion. You hear the concern, sadness, pain, joy, humor, laughter, heartfelt warmth as he performs this story. He is the best. Don’t pass this audiobook by. It is a must have.
