The Heir - Audio Cassette - Abridged Author:Johanna Lindsey, Laural Merlington (Narrator) The grandson of a Scottish clan laird, Duncan MacTavish is shocked to learn that his other grandfather was an English marquis whose title and London estate he is now required to take on. Worse still, he is engaged to a stranger who has mocked him in public. But his bride-to-be, Ophelia, has been guiding a lovely and witty, if dreadfully inexperi... more »enced, country girl named Sabrina through the latter's all-important first coming-out season. The enchanting Sabrina enthralls Duncan much more than his own intended does, and she shares his passionate feelings as well. But duty and circumstance - plus a scandal in Sabrina's family past - have made it impossible for her and the dashing highlander to be together . . . unless true love can somehow, miraculously, find a way.
Audio Review:
Duncan MacTavish, the handsome and brawny Birmingdale heir, finds that his two meddlesome grandfathers have promised him in marriage to someone he's never met. The witty and lovely Sabrina Lambert, the niece of two eccentric aunts, is not his fiancée, but he finds her violet eyes and kindness more attractive than the mere exquisite beauty of his not-so-nice wife-to-be. Laural Merlington does not disappoint in her well-acted and sassy presentation of this vintage Lindsey offering. From the perfect Scots brogues of Duncan and his grandfathers to the upper-class British accents of Sabrina and her aunts, Merlington's presentation is both cheerfully appealing and wickedly appropriate. -- AudioFile
