Love it!

I am a huge fan of the Highland series by Hannah Howell. I love the characters in all of them. The females are never weak women in distress. The character development is always great in Hannah Howell's books. I find myself somewhat disappointed when I get to the end of her books. Not because of the story just that the book is finished and I want to keep reading.

Murray brother's Trilogy

I'm a new reader of Hannah Howell's books and I couldn't be happier! This is the second book of the Murrary brother's Trilogy. Highland Destiny is the first and Highland Promise is the third. Nigel Murray saw through her masquerade from the first: a young woman trying to pass herself off as a page. It almost worked - until she was unmasked in battle with the English, at the point of a sword. Recklessly Nigel saved the raven haired beauty whose secrets now endangered them both. He spirited her off to Scotland, determined to erase the terror he tasted in her kiss. Gisele knew the dark side of men, having barely escaped the brutality of her highborn husband, Lord Deveau. Now, with Deveau murdered and a price on her head, she was every man's prey - hunted for a crime she did not commit. Nigel is her only refuge, a handsome stranger who challenged her with a fiery sensuality that burned all fear in it's wake. But to truly trust him, Gisele must put the past behind her, and let her heart accept the simple truth . . . of his undying love. This was such a fun and enjoyable read for me! The complete trilogy is wonderful!

What a Story!!!!!

This was my first Hannah Howell novel and it will not be my last! This book had everything I look for in a romance story. The stroy was orginal and well written. Gisele had been accused of killing her husband and while on the run she encounters a Sir Nigel Murray. She reluctantly accepts his help. While the are eluding the men who want to capture and or kill her Nigel helps Gisele heal the emotional wounds that her cruel husband had inflicted on her. Gisele had suffered but her sprit was still strong. She was smart and brave. She suffered greatly but I think that it made her an even more endearing heroine. Nigel was brave, smart and a true hero. Although he questioned his motives for helping Gisele(I won't give his worries away) He was always honorable towards Gisele and constanly risked his life to save her. I can't wait to read more of the Highland series. Sensuality rating 3.5 out of 5.

This was as good as the first in the series

Having read all four of the "Highland" series, this and the first stand out as the best. When reading a series, it's often easy to mix characters up from one book to the next because they are usually so similar but I found Nigel and Gisele unique and interesting. I liked the coming home scenes because it allows the characters to not take themselves too seriously.

I LOVED THE HEROINE!

I liked the book and thought that it was very exciting and very sweet how the hero is so understanding. I have to admit that I was not looking so forward to reading this book because my Mom picked it out for me. Lately she had picked up some bad ones. Just to let you know you do get mad at him a little tward the end for not telling her something, but its not something you can 't handle. Have fun with this read I know that I did.
