It absolutely gets my goat when the bloody heroine leaves the safety of her castle to do something behind the husband/hero's back. Of course, she needed to be saved...
Captured by a Laird was a fairly entertaining listen. Derek Perkins seems to be the "go to" narrator for highland historical romance. I'm quite fond of his voice and have no problems with his characterisation and pacing. Unfortunately, it's like listening to my father when Mr Perkins is performing...reading...acting out the sex scenes. It's always a little trickier to "get" the right mood, feeling and emotions, when the narrator's voice sounds a lot older than the characters.
The storyline was a little too predictable to give this one a 5-star rating, but I liked it. Lots of misunderstanding, sexist drivel, mixed with ambitious and greedy men fighting for land and title. It ends on a high and left me satisfied with the ending. I may go on with the series in the future.
