The Hunter

Highland Guard, Book 7

By: Monica McCarty

Narrated by: Antony Ferguson

Prized for his unbeatable tracking skills, Ewen "Hunter" Lamont accepts a dangerous assignment: Locate a missing undercover courier. But this is no ordinary target. Ewen has met his prey before as "Sister Genna," a fiery, forbidden woman forever etched in his memory after one stolen, sinful kiss. Now that he knows her real identity, he's more determined than ever to keep her safe. But without the protection of the veil between them, fighting the allure of the beautiful lass may be the toughest battle this extraordinary warrior has ever faced. After her ill-fated attempt three years ago to rescue her twin sister, Janet of Mar has found salvation acting as a royal messenger - until she surrenders to a darkly handsome warrior whose rough, sensual kisses stir feelings the woman in her can't deny. But when betrayal leads to danger and a crucial communiqué is put in jeopardy, Janet has no choice but to put her faith in the hunter who can find anything-perhaps even her heart.

Critic reviews

"McCarty breathes life into her memorable characters as they face dangerous adventures. The fresh plots, infused with romance and passion, are also brimming with history and drama.

The Hunter and The Nun

Ewen The Hunter Lamont trying to stay under the radar, do his time in Robert's army and reap his rewards. That is until he meets a cheeky nun, or does he? Janet of Mar daughter to one of the greatest Earldoms in Scotland and sister-in-law to the King. Trying to redeem herself from a botched escape attempt. she begins to help the Scottish cause by spying and working as a courier. When these two meet fireworks fo off! Great adventure and Great love story. Great characters and a great love story as the first war for Scotlands Independence. I love Monica McCarthy. The mix of true historical facts with some minor name changes and twists, makes reading the books interesting and enjoyable. I love Scottish History especially the First War of Independence for Scotland. Robert the Bruce is a fascinating person in history and his story is one for the ages. Her introduction to a Highland Guard that acts like one of the first special forces is so entertaining. It is so believable that it makes me want to go back in time to see for myself.

Hunter meets “GI Jane” of medieval times

Janet, is a courier to Robert deBruce. She is an over confident, strong-willed and courageous woman. She believes herself invincible. Thus due to her arrogant attitude involves some of the Highland guard into situations of jeopardy. Hunter although injured is trying to keep her safe and alive. In one scene I almost cried maybe it would have been more interesting if the dog befriended them. Anthony Ferguson love your narration. Monica McCarty I am “binging” on the Highland Guard series thank you

The escape through the mountains with Lamont

Would you listen to another book narrated by Antony Ferguson?

I have more of his, because I want the books, wish the narrator could pronounce the names of the towns and the character names correctly.

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

No, I've read and own the book

Love this book and all the others in the series!

I love the books and I love the voice of the narrator, but I did not enjoy the Italian accent of the lead female the first few chapters of the book. It simply wasn't enjoyable. I don't blame the narrator, I love his voice in other books.

Loved It

I am in Love with everything Monica writes! I've read all of her books several times
