Skies over Caledonia

The Highlands Series, Book 4

By: Samantha Young

Narrated by: Shane East, Stella Hunter

He’s a down-to-earth highland farmer. She’s the rebellious daughter of Hollywood royalty. They might seem like they’re from different worlds, but that won’t stop them from engaging in a marriage of convenience

It’s been five years since Jared McCulloch’s grandfather Collum passed away and he inherited his farm in the Scottish Highlands. After his grandad saved him from his past life, Jared is determined to honor Collum’s legacy. But not only has a series of bad luck put him in danger of losing the farm, his estranged father is disputing the will. In a desperate situation, Jared realizes he’ll do just about anything to save the land.

Even marrying Allegra Howard, a woman he’s avoided at all costs.

A woman who tempts him beyond reason.

There’s only one place that makes Allegra Howard feel safe; one place that feeds her artist’s soul. Allegra wants to settle down in Scotland and expand her business. But there’s a hitch: immigration intends to return her to US soil. Panicked, Allegra finds the one person just as desperate as she is. The same person she’s lusted after for years. In exchange for marrying her, she’ll invest financially in Jared McCulloch’s farm.

However, living together only forces them to acknowledge their searing mutual attraction. And with it comes an undeniable emotional connection Jared’s not sure he’s ready for. Yet, blurring the lines of their arrangement is the least of his concerns when someone begins terrorizing the farm. Allegra and Jared came together to save what matters most and now that might just be each other. And unless they can figure out which of their pasts has returned to torment them, they could lose their chance at a real future together...

The Climb

I enjoy the narrators so much! I was hoping to hear more of Jared’s voice. These are characters we’ve had weaved in over the years and so I wanted more of them, more for them. The threat was featherweight. Considering the troubles Allegra gotten herself in as a teen, I was hoping for it to built upon more. I wanted more . I wanted to see more of Jared’s story…

Wow!!!😍😍

Oh my gosh this book was amazing! Samantha young is a one click author for me and this book was even better than the last !!

How the love between the two characters unfolded.

I did care much for how the attack on her life was concluded. It was to clean.

Grumpy / Sunshine - marraige of convenience.

Jared and Allegra’s story. We’ve been waiting since Beyond the Thistles for Allegra to get her happy ending and what a story it was! Jared is determined to save his family farm and grandfather’s legacy. Allegra is a successful artist that needs to find a way to stay in the only place that she calls home.

I loved watching their relationship develop. They both grew to trust and love each other while outside forces were working against them. Jared is gruff and has a troubled childhood but a soft spot for Allegra as she continues to surprise him. Allegra comes across as rebellious and free spirited but only her therapist knows the truth until Jared.

This is a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, and grumpy / sunshine all rolled into another terrific story by Samantha Young. They just keep getting better.

Shane East and Stella Hunter continue to show why they are two of the best in the business. Their narration just adds to the story.

Love this series!

Beautiful story. I did struggle with male voice. Authentic sounding but hard to understand at times bc of thick brogue and how deep the voice was.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧

Just when you don't think you could love this series anymore, Samantha gifts us with this gem.

I loved Allegra. She might not be polished, but she sure knows what she wants, and what she wants is to be and live in Scotland. And if that means a marriage of convenience, well, so be it. I mean, just look at Jared. He is easy on the eyes, and well, he needs her as much as she needs him.

Oh, the sparks sure do fly in this beauty. The undeniable attraction can not be tamed. It's the friendship that blooms and grows that shows them that maybe, just maybe, this doesn't have to be fake.

I loved it, and this whole world just buried itself in my heart. Shane and Stella's narration really gives this story wings; it's beautiful.

So much love!

Oh gosh, I just loved these two! Even though Allegra was young, she showed so much maturity and I just loved her! I don't think anyone could top Beyond The Thistle.. but these two came close!

✨Thoughts✨
Picture this: Two people who are complete opposites are determined to convince everyone that their marriage of convenience is the real deal. I have to admit that the concept behind this book fascinated me from the start, and let me tell you, it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Samantha Young's extraordinary storytelling, combined with the dual narration, was remarkable. Stella Hunter and Shane East's talent for accents truly brought each character to life!

🔸The chemistry between our main characters, Allegra and Jared, was absolutely epic. There were numerous "my wife" moments that had my heart racing. There was this delicious tension between Allegra and Jared that made their first spicy scenes completely wild and it will be etched in my mind for a long time! 🔥

🔸Although this is the first book I've read in this series, I found that I easily connected with the other characters, without feeling lost or confused.

🔸Overall, if you love marriage of convenience featuring incredible characters, then this audiobook is an absolute must-listen!
