Highland Destiny

Murray Family, Book 1

De: Hannah Howell

Narrado por: 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A brightly colored plaid that is sure to capture [listeners'] hearts everywhere." ( Romantic Times)

Another worthy Highland Warrior Trilogy starts

These books are about the three handsome Highland brothers from the Murray clan. Balfour is clan chief and he is instantly attracted to Maldie, a healer, who he comes across while returning from a battle and decides he needs her - not just because his brother Nigel is wounded but because she is also beautiful.

Both Balfour and Nigel are attracted to Maldie but she is only interested in one of the brothers. Instant attraction, good romance but secrets that are kept ruins their relationship and anyway she has a previous promise to fulfil elsewhere which all leads to mistrust and misgivings.

I hope Audible will soon stock book 2 Highland Honor (Nigel's story) and Highland Promise (Eric's story). Then there are the spin off series that H.H. wrote like Highland Daughters, Highland Grandsons and all the In-Laws - so, with any luck, there will be a lot to follow.

Worth a credit? Good strong characters and an interesting plot all lead to a yummy listen so it's a YES.

Good story...but terrible narrator.

I enjoyed the story. Loved the two main characters in this story. It did an excellent job setting up the other character's stories for the entire series. I'm looking forward to in the next one. The only downside is not the story but the narrator. It's not great but it's not the worst I've heard. Scottish accent is terrible! her accent sounded more like a Russian accent which kept throwing me off with the story.

Enjoyable

Relaxing read for going on holiday. I love the narration of Angela Dawe! The way the main character gets from place to place is a bit mysterious since she has no horse. She can walk in a night a distance that would exhaust a horse in the day. Enjoyable characters. Scottish accent sounds fine to me!

a great start to the series

This was a very well written tale with a remarkable cast. I really appreciated seeing a Laird who wasn’t infallible. As a whole this is a novel that reminded me why I so love historical highland romances. I fully admit that I’ve read this series upside down and backwards but it was really neat to get back to the beginning and read the first instalment. I fell in love with Howell’s work all over again.

wonderful series

I binge listened the entire series. Loved every book. While you don't have to listen to them in order (the author would explain who was who in each book) it did make it easier to follow the characters. Angela did an amazing job narrating.
