Spirited Captives that Win Cameron's Heart (and Yours)

This is the second time that I have read this book. I loved it and couldn't put it down. It is a delightful and entertaining scottish romance. The story is about scots Avery and her cousin Gillyanne who are visiting their cousins in France when they are kidnapped and given to a scotsman as payment for a debt owed. Cameron is heading back to Scotland to deal with his sister Katherine who claims she was raped by Peyton (Avery's brother) and now is carrying his child. Avery and Gillyanne are spirited captives that give Cameron a run for his money. The story is well-written and will have you laughing out loud. Gillyanne is my favorite character and her story is Highland Bride.

The chevalier and the wee cat . . .

Ms Howell quickly captures your attention with her descriptions of the characters, their humorous interactions, and the pace of the book. Cameron (the hero) captures your heart with his strong but wounded persona. Avery (the heroine) and her sister Gilly leave you cheering as they determine what buttons to push within their dark knight and his companions. Watch for some entertaining and interesting dynamics between some of the secondary characters.

Highland Knight by Hannah Howell

I loved this book. The heroine has heart. She's bold, honest and even though she is small, she has her wits. The hero admires and is even a little astonished at her abilities. I enjoy a book that doesn't make all women out to be some tissue snivelling weaklings. I read it 3 times, and laughed each time.

Witty and audacious -- Highly recommended

In 1458, tempers run high as honor is questioned and debts are paid. Sir Bearnard DeVaux takes cat-eyed Avery Murray and her young cousin Gilliananne during a raid on her family, turning them over to Sir Cameron MacAlpin in repayment of gambling debt. Quite a boon, considering the fact that Cameron holds Avery's brother responsible for his sister's rape. Her capture seems the perfect opportunity to make not just her brother pay for his sister's honor, but her whole family.Cameron has remained celibate for three years following betrayal by women intent upon deception. He does not appreciate Avery's ability to stir desires that he's held tightly controlled. As the fiery and spirited Avery promises mayhem and murder for capture, the passion between she and Cameron builds with every page, escalating into a sensual tease interspersed with forays into danger. Having retreated from the game of love, Cameron is surprised to discover a woman who, rather than filled with faithlessness and betrayal, proves her loyalty when she saves the lives of his men. As his carefully guarded heart falls to the beautiful highland lass, spirits run high and passion reigns.Rich in historical detail with headstrong characters, this fast-paced romance will delight fans of Hannah Howell's highland series. The light humor and verbal sparring between the hero and heroine keeps the reader amused as these delightful characters find their way to love. Indeed, the cat-eyed Avery with her audacity and family loyalty adds a sassy element to this highland tale, making HIGHLAND KNIGHT highly recommended.

Happy with Howell

I have enjoyed all of Hannah Howell's Highland Books. Highland Knight takes you on a journey not only through France and Scotland, but through the lifes of wonderful characters. The complexity of the two main characters, Avery and Cameron, gives a realness to the story that makes the pages keep turning. Avery has been given to Cameron to repay a debt. What is a man to do with a beautiful beguiling woman? Set out to seduce her of course. But Avery is not about to just let a man take her chastity. She turns the tables and seduces him. And in the gamble hopes to find the love of a lifetime.
