ENJOYED THIS SERIES

This story is just a pleasant story of love, passion and kindness. It was a story with no nail-biting sessions, however, a few tense moments. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys love and romance.

another great listen

This story so wonderfully written. I fell in love with Tadhg in the first book and Mairead is a wonderful choice to be his wife. Their story is a true love story, the way it should be. Despite many obstacles, they stayed true and believed in each other and the end was a welcome surprise, it left me smiling. I highly recommend to buy and read the books by Ceci Giltenan, she is a great storyteller. Congrats on your choice of narrators, Ms. Giltenan!
Listening to Tadhg come alive thru Paul Woodson's voice made me fall in love with him even more. Thank you Mr. Woodson for another great audio experience. Looking forward to more.

not just a mouse

I'd read this and thought it brilliant and now listening to it as well is absolutely thrilling, the story is fantastic and Paul did an excellent job in narrating this. At the end I was overcome with emotion and I had goosebumps.

Go listen, you'll love it

Good book

Any additional comments?
This is a series, but this book easily is a stand alone book. I like the heroine - she is a determined little "mouse" hoping for courage. I particularly liked this book because there are not a lot of nail biting nerve shattering situations, and the intense situations that do exist in the plot are fairly quickly resolved. Excellent reader.

A good listen

My first Highland romance. I've returned so many lately as I became bored with the characters, so many are inconsistent. I think I've been spoilt by Georgette Heyer over the years. I stuck with this one, and in conclusion found it a reasonably good story line with likeable hero & heroin

“Fear and courage are brothers.” Quote from Highland Courage

The adage, you reap what you sow comes to mind in this wonderful Highland tale.


I was so excited when I finished this audio, I immediately purchased Highland Intrigue, third in the series.

Mairead came to Tadhg’s keep with rumors and gossip aplenty. Many thought her nickname was given as weakness. Rather it was given for her coloring compared to her family. The memories of a painful experience when but fourteen had turned the vivacious young, tender-hearted girl into one that feared people, therefore her seemingly timid demeanor. If she ventured forth from her home, would she run into the young men, now much older, who had attacked her and taken what she didn’t willingly give?

I love how this ‘mouse’ of a woman made her way into the hearts of her new clan, whether it be taking part in knowing the elders of the clan or winning over the steward. She had so many skills to benefit this clan, but she tread carefully. They hadn’t had a chatelain since Tadhg’s mother passed away some ten years previous.

Mairead was a pure heroine in my eyes. She sought people out, helping the village people. She’d listen to their problems and tried to solve them. Her heart was only full of forgiveness when she dealt with the animosity of her clansmen.

Ceci Giltenan kept me listening intensely, cheering Mairead on as she approaches her marriage with total truth, open heart and strong will. However, her past will haunt her once again. This time she has the support and respect of Tadhg as well as his new founded love.

Truly this was an inspirational book. Mairead had learned to take care of herself and speak up for herself. There were many facets of this story and characters which added to the suspense. Flan, Mairead’s brother played a huge part in the new direction of Mairead’s life. Oren, the steward, once won over, could not do other than see only the good in Mairead. Two village women exhibited how important loyalty is to their Laird. Mairead overcomes much with her steadfast character.

Narrator Paul Woodson did a marvelous job telling this story. He was fully engaged with each character’s personality and emotion which engages the reader. Pacing was perfect. His voice for women is certainly believable and his Scottish accent adds to the pleasure of the listening placing the listener within the Highlands.

Pretty good

Rushed ending again. This seems like the normal ending for this author. Overall story was pretty good.

DNF- Too explicit

I thought it was unnecessary to portray marital relations so explicitly. I appreciate a fade to black approach much more.

Love this author

Ceci is one my favorite authors. She builds her hero or heroine a great background and personality, and this book has it all.
Her writing is sensitive to human failings and strengths keeping the reader wondering what will happen next. I love that she can instill
sensitive humor in her scenes with animals, children, elderly and couples too. Good book, and I plan to follow this series.
