Well this book sent me into a major reading slump. Overall I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I was least excited for Conan’s story but he found his match. I for one loved all the side stories and getting updates on where these characters are 10 years after the first book. The epilogue ruined everything for me.

Oh these two sure were alike, they were so right for each other, but they would sure butt heads before that.
Conan will never marry. He is honest (brutally) and people may respect him, but he is not liked. Poor Conan, but I understood since yes he speaks his mind, he is smart and other people can just go to England for all that he care.
Mhairi is smart, but she does differ from Conan. She is sweet, friendly and makes everyone at ease.
Their first meeting made me laugh. She thought he was just another buffoon, he thought she was a nun.
The way to love is long, months! People try to match make. They fall into a friendship, they fall out of if it. They are just too similar and they can sure hold a grudge. Oh they were bloody perfect for each other. It was so amusing seeing them fall in love and people trying to meddle
THe ending had a brutal epilogue. I get that they want to build for the next couple, but this was the worlds biggest cliffie and for a romance I was not amused. I listened with my mouth hanging open. OMG, I must know what happen, my heart is in my throat.
Narrator Anne Flosnik
I liked her and I listened easily to her different voices, male and female. Her Gaelic was slow, which I get, duh.
I liked it.

I loved this book. Not sure why the end was considered and epilogue though since it has to do with the next book (I assume) more than this one. I liked our heroine very much. She was strong and yet naive but not so naive that you couldn't relate to her. Our hero was interesting to say the least. He was knocked off his plans by her and I loved their banter!

I have read all of the McTiernay books and Conan has been my favorite character, mostly because he is so flawed and authentic that he is wonderful! This book had all of the humor and fun that I expected it to have. I won't give a spoiler, but I am having serious anxiety issues over the epilogue. When you read it, you will know what I mean. I can't handle it. WELL Done!
