Sexy, highland romance!

The narrator is just as important as the author for me in audio book so when I find a great combination, I'm hooked! This is a story where you really see the characters grow and mature before they find happiness. I liked how the lead evolved from a spoiled brat to a thoughtful woman. This is Highland Grooms, Book 1. Looking forward to Book 2!

First book I haven’t finished in a long time.

Unfortunately, the author beat the point of Margo needing forgiveness to death. There never really was a reason that Aaron could fall in love with her, it seemed that everything she did was simply “the worst” and “unforgivable.” I really do hate a groveling heroine, it seemed that she could never catch a break.

If Aaron loved her so much when they were first married, why did he never go after her? In my opinion the true hero of a book would have gone after the woman that he loved, even if she left him after four months of marriage. I honestly couldn’t take the strange back-and-forth a minute longer, I had about three hours left and I marked it as finished.

I really don’t understand anyone who could give this book a five star review. You can literally read any other Scottish historical romance and get so much more satisfaction from another books characters and plot. It’s like the author had no other ideas except for, “I think the heroine needs to gravel on the floor the entire time, and the hero thumbs his nose down at her, but secretly loves her.”

Derik Perkins is a gem, and I have heard him in far better works than this.

In the end, I would try a different book, I’m still in shock that it was so insufferably bad.

Just horrible

It’s a ‘he hates her, holds her accountable for every problem, ignores her, uses her for sex’ type book. She’s an airhead, truly an idiot. I’m supposed to be thankful he forgives her in the end. Yikes! Like Derek Perkins tho. It deserves a minus 5 because I expect more from this author.

Predictable but still enjoyable

Any additional comments?

I think Julia London's earlier books were braver, more interesting, with characters that wern't so wishy washy

Good story

Rather confusing at first, but it turned out very intriguing. Love Julie books, she spins a good tale.

Entertaining

First romance novel I’ve consumed in a long time. Initially off put by the performance I quickly came to enjoy it. For the reviews complaining about Margot’s groveling - it was over the top but realistic considering the context of her actions. Her naïveté also believable. Great listen.

Wild Wicked Scott

Great listen! I loved all of the accents, and would enjoy more readings like this one.

Great book!

The story line was very entertaining. Narrator was fantastic too! Highly recommended to read or listen.

I felt like I was there!

Wonderful story! I loved the interaction with all of the characters. Griselda was hilarious! This author knows how to use a few words to take a scene from mere descriptive to picturesque! The words "Dusting her hands off" left me in stitches...I could absolutely see what was happening! I'm on my second "listen" to this series and it will undoubtedly lead to many more! Derek Perkins does a masterful job with vocalizing each character and truly brings this delightful story to life! Kudos!
