Highland Shift

No Real Substance Just Porn, in My Opinion

What disappointed you about Highland Shift?

It would be easier to answer, "what did not disappoint me!" I read the book from start to finish. I will never buy books from this author again! This book is filled with way too graphic images almost from the start. WHEN you could get actual story parts, this could have been developed into a fairly good fantasy fairy tale. In my opinion, all of the porn ruined the story. The porn just goes on and on and on ..... For you porn addicts: this one is for you. For everyone else, there are far better and more interesting books to be read.

Has Highland Shift turned you off from other books in this genre?

I like books about the Scottish Highlands and will continue to look for good, non pornographic stories in this genre.

Would you be willing to try another one of Noah Michael Levine’s performances?

I don't know. I feel his voice would continually remind me of this book so probably not.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Highland Shift?

Why go there? There would not be much left of the book when I got through with it! This is a fantasy story so I have no problems with a shape-shifter falling in love with a Fae. But this went way overboard!

Any additional comments?

I have nothing good to say about this book. I am looking for audio books that can be played while I clean house with the grand children nearby. I would be livid if my teenager got ahold of a book such as this.

Please, help, I had to fast forward and then stop!

Very few times have I ever written a bad review. This may even be my first! But, please! At first I told myself I would listen and I tried. Narration was bad and the story was bad. I kept asking myself, what? Where was the story going? Oh yeah, that's right. The story just went on and on and my interest kept going and going to fade. I finally FF and then give up. Now, with that being said, you may enjoy, love this series. But for me, NOT!!!

Loved this book I couldn't stop listening to it.

I love romance with mystery and even the other worldly things that go bump in the night. And this book gets you right from the start. And I love a book with love and romance and sex. And this book has it all. You don't have to wait until the book is half over before it really gets HOT. And it stays hot all through the book. But it also has you hanging at the edge of you seat or bed wondering what will happen next. I am done with books one and two and now I have to rest up so I can listen to book 3. Wish I could find more books like this.

Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series retold

I thought this sounded familiar and part way through I knew why. It is the essence of the Highlander series reworked. It was free so no refund requested, but I cannot recommend it either. KMM did it first and better.

I loved it

I really enjoyed this book ,loved The Druids and wolf storyline enjoy the characters the narrator was awesome and the love scenes in this book are described beautifully. looking forward to reading the rest in this series

Good but could have better

Rating: 3/5
Heat Rating: 3/5
Narrator Performance: 5/5

This was a good story that had great promise. Unfortunately it didn't quite fulfill it's destiny. In general I liked the writing but I found it lacking at times. There was just something missing. I can't quite put my finger on what was amiss. Well, that's not 100% true. There was pacing problems. Not a lot but a few times I wished things would speed up some. Especially at the end. Plus the story just didn't feel complete.

This is the first Laura Harner book that I've read and I'm not sure if I'm a true fan of hers. The world that she's created has captured my interest but her writing style needs some polishing in my opinion. I plan on continuing the series at some point. I think the antagonist in this book is the antagonist in the second book but I'm not sure. He didn't get his comeuppance so I hope he is. However if the protagonists from this book don't have a huge part in book two of the series then the author will really be letting her readers down. I'm not ready to write Harner off yet. Like I said, she has promise.

The narrator for this was fantastic! He had such a nice voice and it was wonderful hearing his accent. I had no problem immersing myself into the story. He immediately drew me in. Then to make the experience even better he "acted out" the scenes instead of simply reading them. You could hear the characters' emotions coming through in his performance.

Too much sex which doesn't advance the plot

I love the plot but wish there was an effective way to fast forward so I could skip all the stupid sex scenes. Ugh. Not sure I'll buy the remainder of the series... not my preferred style of storytelling. :( And Noah Michael Levine's speech has changed since the last series he narrated (which I loved) - like he's gotten a dental bridge now.

Romance and bad druids

This book has it all! Mystery, romance and legends all combined to make one great book. And the poetic way that the leading man talked to his lovely mate made my heart ache.

Awesome Storyline!

Laura Harner did any outstanding job with this novel, the first in the Highland Destiny series. Her characters are well thought out and the story is captivating from start to finish with many unexpected surprises. I'm looking forward to book 2!
