Highland Honor by Hannah Howell

 

Return to medieval Scotland in New York Times bestselling author Hannah Howell’s beloved and long-running series featuring the proud, unforgettable men and women of the Murray clan… Reissued for the first time in over a decade!

NIGEL’S STORY

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 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 whose fiery sensuality burns all fear in its wake. But to truly trust him, Gisele must leave the past behind, and let her heart accept the simple truth—of his undying love.

My Review

Highland Honor by Hannah Howell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A must-read if you love reading about all things Scotland and Scottish heroes!
This is actually my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it. Highlanders are a personal favorite so I can't wait to make my way through her backlist. This ARC was a rerelease and takes place in the 1400s, so some of the old language might take some getting used to, especially if you've never it before.

Nigel Murray is not fooled by the young lass dressed as a boy. He finds himself stepping in and saving her from a group of men who want to harm her and then vowing to help get her to Scotland safely.

Gisele has been on the run ever since her husband Lord Deveau was found murdered. Now she is hunted for a crime she didn't commit. Traveling with Nigel is the first time she's felt safe in quite some time.

They definitely have an attraction but Gisele also suffered at the hands of her husband. As she reveals this truth to Nigel he understands now her reaction to their first kiss.

They grow close as they make their way to Scotland and he's able to show her how just how sensual things should be between couples.

Thank you so much to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
