When best-selling author Carrie McClelland visits the windswept ruins of Slains Castle, she is enchanted by the stark and beautiful Scottish landscape. The area is strangely familiar to her but she puts aside her faint sense of unease to begin her new novel, using the castle as her setting, and one of her own ancestors, Sophia, as her heroine.

Then Carrie realizes her writing is taking on a life of its own and the lines between fact and fiction become increasingly blurred. As Sophia's memories draw Carrie more deeply into the intrigue of 1708, she discovers a captivating love story lost in time.

After 300 years, 'Sophia's Secret' must be told.

I sent this book back and read it on kindle instead. Great book, terrible narration.

Very emotionally charged story. Liked the way it flowed between past and present. The narration was excellent and sympathetic to the characters. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the way the story of past and present was entwined. Assumed historical events were true as unfamiliar with this point in Scotland's history. A few important historical plot details seemed rushed so needed to go back over scenes to listen more carefully. Otherwise a good listen.p

Great idea.

It started well, but soon it became really soapy. Writing is actually quite good, just not my cup of tea. It has a lot of interesting history information, but that is exactly that - information weaved into a love story. The narrator is good, a very pleasant voice, but the accents are a bit weird. Even I, not a native English speaker, can recognize fake Scottish. It didn't bother me much, but if you are fussy about these things, skip it. Overall it is not bad, if you are fond of the romance genre go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Cute love story
