About this listen

A conqueror's decree can't separate Aillil Callaghan from his Scottish heritage. He wears his clan's forbidden plaid with pride, awaiting the day he becomes Laird, restores his family's name, and fights to free Scotland from English tyranny. An Englishman in his home? Abomination! Yet the tutor his father engaged for Aillil's younger brothers may have something to teach the Callaghan heir as well. Violinist and scholar Malcolm Byerly fled Kent in fear, seeking nothing more than a quiet post, eager minds to teach, and for no one to learn his secrets. He didn't count on his charges' English-hating barbarian of an older brother, or on red-and-green tartan concealing a kindred soul. A shared love of music breaks down the barriers between two worlds. Aillil's father threatens their love, but a far more dangerous enemy tears them apart. They vanish into legend. Two centuries later, concert violinist Billy Byerly arrives at Castle Callaghan and feels strangely at home. Legends speak of a Lost Laird who haunts the fortress in wait of his lover's return. Billy doesn't believe in legends, ghosts, or love that outlasts life. But the Lost Laird knows his own.

First edition published by Torquere Press (2010).

The majority of this book is historical fiction - which is my first love - so I enjoyed that greatly. Then we get snippets of ghost stories which were intriguing. Then finally it’s a contemporary love story.

All were enjoyable and the narrator did a really good job with voices, colour and pace so it was easy to follow and always clear who was speaking. Well done!

Three very good stories in one enticing package!

The first thing to know is that Duet has a happy ever after. I promise. But getting to that happy ever after was filled with broken opportunities that span centuries. Duet is a hard book to categorize: it starts off as a historical romance that quickly shifts into a ghost story before finally transitioning into a beautiful contemporary romance between two soulmates tied to each other through music and love. I normally don’t cry when reading, but the love Scottish lord Aillil and musician Malcolm share was beautiful and tender and more powerful than death itself. Eden Winters really shows that she is a master at her craft with this story. It was well written with an intriguing plot and captivating emotions. I started and finished this book within one day—I could hardly put it down.

The audiobook was narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo who does a fantastic job with the narration. His voice is so versatile: he does a range of accents and different voices for the plethora of characters (time periods) and they all sound great. I loved his performance of this book – he made the touching moments even more poignant and the steamy moments had even more sizzle to them. The audiobook production was well done and it was a joy to listen to this book.

The setting, storyline and character development in Duet was kind of 'theme park Scotland'. It seemed like there was little historical research here, which is sad, because I've listened to Eden Winter's Diversion series which involved loads of intensive research. To an American ear, I expect Michael Ferriauolo sounds like he does a good Scottish accent. To a Scots, or English person the accent is passable at times, and other times cringeworthy. I was so disappointed with this book that I DNF.
