Abducted by a band of renegade Scots, Highland gypsy Tasara Faas blackens her rescuer's eye when the charming duke attempts to steal a kiss. Afterward, Tasara learns she's the long-lost heiress Alexandra Atterberry and is expected to take her place among the elite society she's always disdained. Lucan, the Duke of Harcourt, promised his gravely ill mother he'd procure a wife by Christmastide, but intrigued by the feisty lass he saved in Scotland, he finds the haut ton ladies lacking. Spying Alexa at a London ball, he impulsively decides to make the knife-wielding gypsy his bride despite her aversion to him and her determination to return to the Highlands. The adversary responsible for Alexa's disappearance as a toddler still covets her fortune and joins forces with Harcourt's arch nemesis. Amidst a series of suspicious misfortunes, Lucan endeavors to win Alexa's love and expose the conspirators but only succeeds in reaffirming Alexa's belief that she is inadequate to become his duchess.

Heartbreak and Honor is book three in the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series by Collette Cameron. I own both the print copy and the Audible version. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Hilariously funny with numerous laugh out loud moments, I especially enjoyed the hero –  the dashing Lucan Ashford, the Duke of Harcourt. “Her traitorous heart gave an excited tremor. So different from the shaggy-haired, broad-faced men of her clan. Sharp hewn features, high cheekbones, a square jaw, and surprisingly black-lashed eyes and dark eyebrows bespoke his aristocratic heritage, no doubt many generations old. His sculpted mouth spread into a knowing smile, revealing square teeth and a charming dimple in his right cheek. She wanted to touch the indentation. Verra attractive and verra dangerous, indeed.”

Usually, when I listen to a romance, I like to hear a woman’s voice. But I felt that David Monteath did a fabulous job of bringing this book to life. Towards the end of the book, there are a couple of steamy scenes. I highly recommend this story, whether in print or on Audible.
