This Laird of Mine

Highland Bachelor

By: Gerri Russell

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

Claire Elliot has two weeks to win the heart of Jules MacIntyre - and then break it. To save her wards from a vicious blackmailer, she dares to enter the laird’s castle, claiming to be the wife he’d recently wed. But no such wife exists!

The brooding Jules invented a bride to silence his well-meaning, matchmaking friends, so he never expected her to arrive on his doorstep. He is suspicious of this beautiful stranger, but he’s also steadfast, courageous, and effortlessly seductive. In fact, he’s the very man Claire would choose to love…if she weren’t forced to betray him.

She is an intruder at best, and a liar at worst, but still Claire enthralls Jules like no woman before. He agrees to let her stay - at least until he uncovers the truth - and soon she is filling his manor and scarred heart with the warmth they have both been lacking.

While an unknown enemy has chosen Claire as a weapon to destroy the laird, Jules vows to fight for the passion he has found with his fantasy bride made flesh.

Wonderful read..

Any additional comments?

I loved everything about this book. It was much better than A Laird for Christmas. I was happy Jules got his strength back in the seven months that had passed since the first book was supposed to have taken place. I really liked Jules in the first book and couldn't wait to read his story.
I have to admit I was surprised to see who the bad guy was. I would never have guessed that. And, Claire was simply a great heroine.
It was nice seeing Nicholas, Jane, Hollister and Lady Margaret again. I really enjoyed this book.
AND, it had some great sex in it, too.

I got this book free with my KindleUnlimited subscription.

As to the narrator: Usually Ms. Eyre does a really great job but I wasn't thrilled with her voices in this book. She did make the men sound like men but some of them sounded a old when they weren't. I would still listen to anything Ms. Eyre narrates because she usually wonderful.

Narrator Has Been Better

Would you try another book from Gerri Russell and/or Justine Eyre?

Yes, but I'd look more closely at the reviews first.

If you’ve listened to books by Gerri Russell before, how does this one compare?

Yes, this one was not as good. This book, This Laird of Mine, became TOO sappy and I love a good love story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Justine Eyre’s performances?

At some point - just not in the near future - I enjoyed her work on some of the Sabrina Jeffries books, but this was just again...TOO sappy, and her voice added to the sappiness.

Do you think This Laird of Mine needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes...I'd like to have the wards to have a story...let them be stronger characters and not stupid and go where you KNOW the villain will be.

Any additional comments?

Just not happy with this book...I had to skip "touching" parts to get to the end...they were too long and SAPPY...no character...no, no...limited and wimpy characters...yuck.

DISAPPOINTED!!

Would you try another book from Gerri Russell and/or Justine Eyre?

Not Sure

Would you be willing to try another book from Gerri Russell? Why or why not?

story was too predictable!! The Villain seemed to always have the upper hand and I don't really cared to read about young people teens or children being abused.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The Narrator didn't do a good job on the Scottish Accent. At times she sound British. The accent also, kept changing like she couldn't get her footing on each character.

Do you think This Laird of Mine needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No

Any additional comments?

The story is to abusive to children and was extremely predictable!! The romance was not believable at all.

Money Isn't Everything

This was a good twist for a Highlander book. We were introduced to solicitors , which I did not know existed that far back in history & what happens when a castle is left unattended for many years. Claire & Jule become a perfect match after all the obstacles they have to undertake to find each other again.

Worth reading again

I didn't care for the narrator's voice but it was easy to distinguish the different characters and she is not monotone. The story has lots of mystery tension and romance. The love scenes were very detailed. I love the feelings Jules and Claire have for one another. Very sweet romance.

ABOUT THAT

THE STORY LINE WAS GOOD, BUT THE NARRATOR SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS CRYING THE WHOLE TIME WHEN SHE SPOKE FOR THE WOMEN. IT CERTAINLY TOOK MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE STORY.

enjoyed it

Slow burn but really great story to follow the first book and I love that the story is connected to the first book's main characters

worth it!!!!!!

Has everything romance, suspense, murder, deceit. Very well done Doesn't have too much of Scotland but that is ok

Must know struggle before happiness.

Very enjoyable story. Liked the characters. Just enough mystery and a truly evil villain. Well written.

Delicious...Sexy and DIFFERENT

Loved it loved it loved it!

Gerri Russell does a great job creating stories that are different than the usual romance. Once again she has a different plot that keeps you interested and wanting to see how everything plays out.

Claire & Jules's relationship is so ... Well...I don't know .... I just liked them so much. She is a strong woman and is a real challenge for the stubborn Jules.

We get to se some of our favorite characters from "A Laird for Christmas" and they make this book that much more enjoyable.

Read this series...and let's hope more books are to come. This is a fabulous romance!
