Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend, Ian Murray. Both are nursing wounds, both have good reason to stay out of Scotland, and both are still virgins despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue.

But Jamie's love life becomes infinitely more complicated - and dangerous - when fate brings the young men into the service of Dr. Hasdi, a Jewish gentleman who hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris. One is an old Torah; the other is the doctor's beautiful daughter, Rebekah, destined for an arranged marriage. Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the bride-to-be - but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who they're truly dealing with.

Would you try another book from Diana Gabaldon and/or Allan Scott-Douglas?

Diana Gabaldon is a fantastic author and I have listened to the entire series of outlander books.

Would you be willing to try another book from Diana Gabaldon? Why or why not?

Absolutley! Assuming it was narrated by Davina porter. I gave the overall and story three stars but I imagine if it was read by Davina - and I finished it I would rate it higher.

Would you be willing to try another one of Allan Scott-Douglas’s performances?

yes... I think so. I believe that part of the turn off of this book was the obnoxious accent the narrator spoke in. But I would be willing to listen to something that was not narrated in a Scottish accent.

Do you think Virgins needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no. it is a follow-up / side-story book to begin with so I think its fine as is.

Any additional comments?

Please re-record this book with Davina!!

Could not finish this book!

although I love Ian Murray, I feel as though this story left out a lot of Jaime's character. The narration seemed to emphasize his point of view and voice more, and left Jaime just sort of "grunting" throughout the pages.

needed more Jamie

Doesn't begin to compare to the longer books of the series! I listened to this after listening to all 8 of those of the "Outlander" series, wanting "more"! I would not recommend this to anyone! I loved all 8 of the Series.... so much so that I hoping for another!!! I think I may try the Lord John Series!!!!!

Love the Outlander Series!
