Resumen del Editor

Nigel Murray saw through her masquerade from the start: 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. Nigel recklessly 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 its 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.

Not best narrator

I wasn't thrilled with this narrator, her "breathy" voice for men made them sound a bit like Marlon Brando from The Godfather. Her French accent wasn't much better.
Story itself was ok, too many "smiled faintly", "ending the intimacy of the embrace"...dinnae, cannae, etc

It’s a bit rough at the beginning

It took about 7 chapters for me to fully get into it and it was the French accent that was bothering me. It was fine after that. Story was predictable but entertaining. I will continue with this author.

Highland Honor

Great book. I love her books, they are full of mystery and romance. I would recommend.

I want a highlander

Worth the credit plenty of adventures did not enjoy the end very much wanted more details after they finally get together.

Dawe is an acquired taste

This was a typical highlander saves lass and then marries her story. It was an average book with no surprises. Angela Dawe takes some getting used to. She is no Davina Porter, she not even a Nicola Barber or Anne Flosnik but I got used to her enough to enjoy the book and all things considered, like imitating male voices, she did okay.

Character wasn’t for me

I think it’s because how he was written in the first book but this male character just isn’t it for me. It’s partly because he is so vain and partly because he believed himself to be in love with someone for so long that he, couldn’t tell that he was just infatuated with them, not in love. I may be wrong but that’s my opinion

Murray Men, at it Again!

This is the 2nd book of the Highland Series featuring the Murray brothers,It's 7 years later as we learn what happened to Nigel since he left Donncoill after losing Maldie to his brother Balfour.
Nigel becomes a mercenary, offering his sword and fighting skills to any French lord who pays the most. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself sprawled in the mud, having spent all night boozing with no recollection of how he got there, he knew it was time for him to go home and face reality. While deep in thoughts, he hears voices and checks to see whom they belong to. He spots two people deep in conversation but knew instantly that the one dressed like a lad is a woman.

Gisele Deveau is a hunted woman. Falsely accused of the gruesome death (no really GRUESOME) of her wealthy husband, she has been running away for a whole year. When Nigel ends up saving her life, she knows that he is her only hope.

Realizing that Gisele's life is in extreme danger, Nigel is overcome with the need to protect her, especially when he learns that she is pretty much on her own. And although she fears men in general Gisele has little choice but to trust the man who has entangled himself in her troubles.

Little do they know that they would be faced with another trouble: that of their growing attraction to each other. Nigel is torn and confused about what he feels for Giselle who looks very much like Maldie, his sister in law - and the reason he left home in the first place. While Gisele is terrified to put her trust in another man after what she has experienced at the hands of her husband.

Gisele is a likable heroine, very similar to Maldie but with a sharper tongue. Both characters are strong and well-matched and as passionate as the first book's characters. I

The homecoming scene was one of my favourites

Great Series.
I am beginning book 3 about little brother Eric

another good one

I am really enjoying Ms. Howell's Highland novels. I really like the Murray family & plan to listen to them all. Hurry up and get them Audible.

More love and adventure in the highlands.

I loved the story. This author weaves a tale that keeps you with her to the end. There's intrigue as well as passion and romance to spare. Loved it!

Thoroughly Enjoyed Really 4.5 Stars

Book two is much better. I wanted to find out how Nigel's story would be, and it did not disappoint. There was more mystery with this book, along with a lot of hide and seek. You didn't know what would happen next.
