Unabridged Audiobook
This was a good paced story with plenty of passion and action. Elizabeth Fraser has been at court for many years and fears she may remain a spinster due to her father’s irresponsibility and uncaring ways. Elizabeth meets Edward Bruce at court, cousin to the king. They become very attracted to each other but Elizabeth is wary due to his rakish ways. They have a number of adventures and it appears that someone is trying to harm Elizabeth. Elizabeth is resourceful and brave. Edward, a hardened warrior, fears no one and is very protective of Elizabeth. There are courtly intrigues and dangers to overcome. I enjoyed the meeting up of Elizabeth’s cousins and their husbands as they work together to solve the problem. I did get a bit distracted by all the different clans and who was friends with whom but overall I really enjoyed this story. This was further enhanced by the narration of Timothy Campbell. His voice is very easy to listen to and he really brought the characters to life.
First ever audiobook for me to listen to. A Spinster at the Highland Court by Celeste Barclay and narration by Timothy Campbell was very enjoyable to listen to. It is a steamy romance that takes place in Stirling, Scotland and environ. Set during the reign of Robert the Bruce and is the first book in The Highland Ladies series, which is a spin off from the Clan Sinclair series. I enjoy historical romances and listening to this was a new and pleasant experience. The narrator’s voice conjured up an image a Sir Sean Connery and I can listen to him for ever. I will investigate other books for Celeste Barclay to see what happens with other characters.
