Charming the Shrew Audiobook

" Tayg (warrior /bard) and Cat have a rocky beginning with her running from a 'planned marriage' and he on a quest for the King. This Book is full of highland adventure in the middle of winter. They are pursued by her betrothed and her brothers and are chased through the highlands as they uncover a plot to kill the king. I liked the book. There was growth in Cat's character and it was full of real emotion. Tayg was easy to like as well. This was book 1 in the series and I have read book 2 and it is her brother Ailig's story. "

" The two main characters are pretty mediocre, but not horrible. The prose is generally okay, but it suffers a bit from too much use of "twas" and "the king." The plot line was actually not bad, however. While the initial premise is a bit contrived, if you accept it the plot going from there is interesting without getting really dumb in the challenges it presents like many romance novels. "

" Maybe it was just the timing, but I found this book among many of the mundane ones I've read this past month (May, 2012). Of course, it was a take-off on Taming of the Shrew, and I enjoyed the two main characters and their story very much, but the frame story was just too much for me - - not a light enough romp, I guess. I loved the contrast between Tayg's warrior and bard personalities, and enjoyed Catriona's "self-discovery," but the rest of it was just "meh" for me... "

" Loved this book! I'm a sucker for a good Highlander novel to begin with and this one had enough twists and turns to keep my attention. Highly recommended if you like romance mixed with action and a man in a kilt! "

" I knew the ending within the first 30 pages. "

" This was a cheap download on my Kindle. I thought it was very fun and entertaining. Nice romance set in the 1300's. "

" Wonderful story, I couldn't stop turning the pages. "

" Enjoyed this book but is not my favorite Wittig book. "

" It is hard for me to decide on a rating for this book.(4 or 5) It has been a long time since I read a book that I was ready to stay up all night to finish it. "

" 2.5: It wasn't bad, slow at first, but mostly hard to believe for that time period. All's well that ends well, but not realistic. "

" A slow and repetitive love story. Very predictable and was over before it got interesting. "

" A taming of the shrew story. It was pretty good. Catriona MacLeod runs away to escape her betrothed. She meets Tayg Munro, heir of the Munro clan. "

" it was very slow paced... 2.5 to pass it. It seemed lacking in both historical content or real depth to the story line as a whole.... As one reader put it...too much wondering in the wilderness. "

" Really enjoyed this story set in the Scottish Highlands. Fun romance that keeps you reading to the exciting end. "

" I had a lot of fun reading this highland version of Shakespeare's story. This is a great love story set admid a lot of adventure, kings taking the throne, wicked brothers being taught a lesson. Lots of fun! "

" This was just ok for me. There were pages and pages of nothing happening. Lots of wandering around the woods with nothing much happening. This was a good read to pass the time but I will not be reading the other 2 in the series. "

" This was a departure from my 'normal' reading, as I wanted a vacation book :-) I enjoyed the book and the way it flowed, and plan to read the next in the series. It's in the Kindle Owner's Lending Library, so I read this one, and will read the next one, for my Amazon Prime membership. "

" it was an enjoyable read. "

" There's a handsome highlander and a sharp tongued wench and a cockstand or two but "Outlander" this is not. An ok vacation read. "

" I got this as a free download on Amazon about two years ago and I loved it so much that I bought the second. A very good read. "
