    About this audiobook

    In a spellbinding new Highlands story from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands, the laird of the Buchanans finds the one woman who is his equal in passion and courage.

    Aulay Buchanan has retreated to his clan’s hunting lodge for a few days of relaxation. But the raven-haired beauty he pulls from the ocean puts an end to any chance of rest. Though he christens her Jetta, she knows nothing of her real identity, save that someone is trying to kill her. As she recovers, it will not be easy for Aulay to protect her and keep her honor intact when she mistakenly believes they are man and wife…

    Jetta sees beyond Aulay’s scars to the brave, loyal warrior she’s proud to call her own. But as the attempts on her life grow more brazen, Jetta realizes that not all is as she believes. And if Aulay is not her husband, can she trust the desire flaring in his eyes, or his promise to defend her with his life?

      What a book, filled with exciting adventures to keep me listening with my whole body. Great story!
    • 5/5
      Favorite series right now. I love how much these books grab your attention and keep you guessing.
    • 4/5
      I was keen for Aulay's story. Who sees a man with battle scars and shrieks in terror?! Absolute monsters. 3.5 stars.
      Also, maybe this is just my insecurity showing, but can we have, like, ONE heroine whose tall and strong framed?? Like, Brienne from GoT? Why they all gotta be tiny? Someone direct me towards the The Highlanders Shield Maiden or some shit.

      Side note: I'm off work with an injury and I've been listening to these books back to back and reality means nothing and I keep saying things in a Scottish accent for no good reason and now I'm having an identity crisis.
    • 4/5
      The heroine is in a shipwreck and loses her memories. She wakes up and thinks the hero is her husband. The Highlander's Promise was enjoyable to listen in audiobook. There's a fun cast and laughable moments that were a bit cheesy, but cute. The mystery concerning the heroine's lost memories was evenly paced and the villian's motivation quite strong.

      We finally have Auley's story! We have been waiting, well I have been waiting since I first started to read about the Buchanon's starting with Saidh and I was happy that Lynsay continued to write about her brothers, but I was anxiously waiting for Auley's turn, 1. he was the Buchanon Laird, 2 he was always so sweet and great that I wanted him to get his love story and he did with Jetta and she was worthy of his love. Grab a copy and enjoy!
    • 5/5
      Loved this book, Aulay is a brilliant character and so is Jetta, I love these historical romances and specially the Scottish narrators. Only complaint I have is this narrator's inability to pronaunce the word "grimacing" properly.
    • 5/5
      Yes I enjoyed this unabridged production. Wow! The story kept me waiting impatiently for it to unfold. It had it all: love, romance, murder, intrigue. Lovely story
    • 4/5
      My first book in this series was Hunting For A Highlander and I fell for the family and how they inner act with one another.

      So seeing how Auley and Jetta got together was a treat. I so enjoy this book. Yes there were a very bite I was no’ fond of, but the bits that made me laugh and smile were more.

      I canna’ wait for Alec’s and Rory’s stories now. Haahaa Rory will be a fun one.
    • 2/5
      I skim through this one I was more interested in the plot but it turns out to be lame Aulay and Jetta together is like a x rated movie the writer characters are so bad the hero is stupid it's hard not to see how dumb they are and the heroine too innocent they become super silly the narrator was horrible I will not go on with this series
    • 5/5
      I am a recent convert to historical romance novels, and The Highlander’s Promise by Lynsay Sands is now ranked among my favorites. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first Highlander romance, but this book has set the bar way high, so other books in the genre better watch their backs!

      The Highlander’s Promise was an entertaining and lighthearted read, one that held me captive from the very start, and one that continues to have a hold on me even after finishing Aulay and Jetta’s story. Aulay was a perfect hero for me, a protective male who also isn’t afraid to be vulnerable. While my initial reaction to him was a little lukewarm, he quickly won me over and stole my heart.

      I experienced a full spectrum of emotions while listening to this book. I sighed and swooned, I blushed and laughed out loud. The humor in this book was a pleasant surprise and made me love this family even more. The chemistry and emotional connection between Aulay and Jetta was palpable, investing the reader in this uncommon relationship. The physical tension between the two simmers throughout this book, and they are explosive together, often making me catch my breath.

      I came across this audiobook while searching for Joel Froomkin narrations, and I went into it without any expectations, being my first Highlander romance. What an unexpected win it was! Joel (the Ariel to my Ursula, I only want him for his voice) delivered a vibrant and engaging performance, portraying a lively clan of characters in a way only he can.

      The brothers Buchanan, their wives, friends, staff, even the villain of the story are brought to life in this narration, each character lively and distinct and endearing (well, except for that damn villain. I hope they get eaten by fire ants.) Joel’s talent is unmatched, and this story is one of my favorite narrative performances, one I’ll listen to over and over.

      I had an actual physical reaction to this book and performance. I held my breath, I wrung my hands, my heart damn near beat out of my chest a time or two. Even before I finished the audio, I bought a print copy so I can pet it and have it near me always. Lynsay Sands (and Joel!) have given me my first five-star read of the year and I can’t wait to devour the rest of the series.

      Such a good romance! A titillating and fun read
    • 4/5
      Good book. I've been looking forward to Aulay's story, and it did not disappoint. Aulay is the oldest of the Buchanan's and laird of the clan. Several years earlier he was badly scarred in a battle that also killed his twin brother. On his return, his fiancée refused to marry him because of the scar. Since then, Aulay has resigned himself that no woman would want him and instead devoted himself to caring for his family and clan. As the anniversary of the battle approached, Aulay planned to get away for a few days where his black mood wouldn't affect others, and his well-meaning family wouldn't try to cheer him up. He wasn't able to escape completely, as youngest brother Alick decided to tag along. I had to laugh at Alick's dismay when he discovered that Aulay's definition of relaxing was fishing, not drinking and wenching.Aulay's plans to relax went out the window almost immediately. While out fishing on the ocean, he and Alick came across a woman tied to a ship's mast and floating in the water. In a brief moment of consciousness, she called Aulay her angel and muttered something about someone who wanted to kill her. When she finally regained consciousness, she could not remember who she was or anything about her life. However, she believes that she and Aulay are man and wife.I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Aulay and Jetta. He was caught between a rock and a hard place for most of it. His brother, the healer, insisted that Aulay go along with the deception, believing that telling her the truth could hinder her recovery. But the growing attraction between them made it difficult for Aulay to do the honorable thing. I liked Jetta. Aulay's scar never bothered her from the very beginning; she actually believed that it made him better looking. Instead of the monster he believed himself to be, Jetta thought he was the kindest, most considerate man in the world. I ached for Aulay. Underneath the surface of the laird was a vulnerable man who wished for a woman who wanted him for himself. He wanted what he had with Jetta to be real. I loved the time they spent together, which was sometimes sweet and simple, and other times hot enough to scorch the pages. Aulay also knew that he had to tell Jetta the truth before she learned it on her own, but he was also afraid of how it would affect them. When the truth did come out, I loved how the less-than-eloquent Aulay tried to find the words to tell Jetta how he felt.There was some suspense added to the book by the question of who wanted Jetta dead. When a look-alike Buchanan clanswoman was shot, it became clear that Jetta was in immediate danger. I loved how the Buchanans rallied around her, joining forces to protect Jetta and discover who was behind the attacks. The tension increased as the attacks escalated and Jetta had flashes of memory return. The final confrontation had several unexpected twists, as the villain made their move. I especially enjoyed how Aulay figured out who it was, though it took him a few minutes longer than it should have. The intensity of the final scene was incredible and had me glued to the pages until it was over. I loved that it was Saidh who saved the day.
    • 4/5
      Aulay Buchanan is the oldest of 7 brothers, and his face is terribly scarred from battle. When he rescues an unconscious woman from the sea, she wakes with no memories and believes he is her husband. No knowing her name or circumstances, only that someone is trying to kill her, Aulay calls her Jetta.
