Highland Destiny

Murray Family, Book 1

By: Hannah Howell

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

When destiny brought Sir Balfour Murray and his wounded brother down the same road as Maldie Kirkaldy, she offered her services as a nurse even as she tried to deny the desire this dark-eyed knight had ignited at first sight. Soon they discover that they both share a mission of vengeance, but Maldie cannot tell him her true identity - to do so would brand her a spy.

Sworn to avenge his family as chief of the Doncoill Clan, Balfour vows to destroy his greatest foe, with Maldie at his side. Yet Balfour knows that he can no more afford to trust her than he can ignore his lust for this sultry beauty. Now, he is not only determined to unearth her deepest secrets, but also to pursue his passion for her. And nothing will stand in his way.

What made the experience of listening to Highland Destiny the most enjoyable?

When will they realize that a woman just cannot do the voices of highland warriors...a man has a better chance at doing a woman's voice however. These brauny men should be read by MEN not women! It totally distracted from the experience. The male characters were made to sound like snivelling creeps. Sorry, just my opinion.

What three words best describe Angela Dawe’s performance?

Did not enjoy

Love the Highlanders!

The language used in this series is very old, much more "authentic" than I've seen in some others, I like it but it can be a little difficult to get used to. That said, it's hot, book is good and frightening! TONS of drama! I love how the highlanders fall so hard for their women! I like this book, excited for this series!

EXCELLENT!

What made the experience of listening to Highland Destiny the most enjoyable?

The narrator and the plot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Highland Destiny?

When the heroine leaves because she feels she won't be forgiven.

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent accents and emotion.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but it was very well done.

Any additional comments?

One of the best I've heard.

Good but a lot of rehashing

The story was good but would have been much better with less rehashing of feelings. While the heroine was running away she the had time to sit and go over her feelings for about the 4th time.

I don't know if I will continue with this series.

Angela Dawe did a great job!

The story was okay but tedious at times.

The narrator was beyond terrible. No inflection in her voice, just droned on and on. Totally ruined the experience for me.
