The Earl's Entanglement

Border Series, Book 5

By: Cecelia Mecca

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

An undeniable love. An impossible choice.

The Earl - Garrick Helmsley, an earl in both England and Scotland, returns from the Crusades to find his Scottish inheritance challenged by his uncle. Forced to secure his claim in Linkirk, he agrees to marry the daughter of a powerful border lord. But no sooner does he agree to the arrangement than he meets Lady Emma Waryn - the impulsive and irresistible sister-in-law of his old friend, the Countess of Kenshire. Before he knows it, he finds himself escorting Lady Emma to Scotland. The more time he spends with her, the more he wishes to end his betrothal, but the situation in Scotland only becomes more heated.

The Lady - Lady Emma loves her elder brothers, but their protectiveness frequently drives her to the brink of madness. The last thing she wants is more of the same in a husband, so she has pledged never to marry a powerful, domineering man. Yet the Earl of Clave is both of those things - and he immediately stirs her passion. Garrick might not be the husband she thought she needed, but she soon realizes he’s the only one she wants. Garrick’s unwanted betrothal stands between them, but breaking it may well cause a war. Will love find a way to bring the earl and his lady together?

Absolutely love this series!!

Garrick and Emma's ups and downs to finally come together will keep you saying oh my goodness over and over again. But in the end they do get their happily ever after.

Great story!

My first book in this series. I loved the characters and all the character interaction. There was no clear cut path for Garrick and Emma but the journey the had was fill of ups and downs. I had to stay up and finish this one. The narrator did an excellent job distinguishing between the characters, switching accents and from male to female characters. I definitely recommend giving this one a listen.

Would recommend this audio book,I received this book for honest review and this is my review Enjoyed the narrator so much to listen to has very sexy voice,

History in a likeable, smexy way.

This story is filled with intrigue, drama and smexy romance. The characters are unique, likeable and time period appropriate. The narrator does a terrific job with loads of inflection and unique dialect that help make the characters believable and time period appropriate.

As a series, it's ideal if the books are read in order although this is so well done that it can completely stand alone.

Another great addition to the Border Series

This is another great addition to her Border Series that was a pleasure to read and I was thrilled to now listen to it. Take one man who does not want a wife, but needs to marry to secure his land. Then take a young woman who wants to marry for love. Together you get a love story full of complications and drama. The book was hard to put down and it was a dream to listen to. Tim Campbell has a voice just made for reading this series. I loved reading it and I loved listening too.

Another great audio book!

I have always enjoyed Tim Campbell's Narrations and his Narration of The Earl's Entanglement did not disappoint. Tim Campbell puts so much emotion into his reading, that it is almost as if hearing the actual characters in the book. He really knows how to put the right emotions to the words in Cecelia Mecca's books. I can't wait to read and listen to more in this series.

back and forth

My heart went out to Graeme for his failed relationship! I already read the next book, so I know he gets his hea, so I can't be too upset now. Garrick has a hard won love finally!!! yay!! All the back and forth and angst was giving me whiplash! What a shocker about Garrick's ex???
I did like the lengths these two main characters went to to be together. I'm really enjoying this series. The narrator voice, expressions, and accents were excellent. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this story and am giving an honest review.

Talk about love conquering all!

Not everyone finds their soulmate, but when Gerrick finds his, nothing will stop him from making her his. Emma feels the same, yet I’ve never seen so many obstacles for one couple! Lots of angst, humor, and...you know. These two deserve to be together! The narrator, Tim Campbell was awesome!

Revisiting the Border Series!

Ceceila Mecca has a great new series, Brotherhood of the Border, which features the children of the couples from the Border Series. Listening to the Border Series' audiobooks is a great way to revisit that series before starting Brotherhood of the Border. Tim Campbell does an exceptional job with his narration--none of the over the top or contrived accents that plague novels with Scottish characters. Emma and Garrick are both so likeable that you'll root for them from the start. Hopefully, we'll see some of their children in Brotherhood of the Border. It'd be great to see how the couple is doing.
