Highland Guard

Murray Family, Book 20

By: Hannah Howell

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Lady Annys MacQueen has no other choice. The deception that enabled her to keep her lands safe is on the verge of being revealed by a cruel kinsman. To shield her young son from the sword and her people from devastation, she must turn to the one man she could never forget.

He lives for duty and honor. So the only way that Sir Harcourt Murray could repay the laird who saved his life was to agree to father a child with Sir MacQueen's wife, Lady Annys. Now the passion he still feels for the lovely, strong-willed widow is as all consuming and perilous as securing her lands. But to convince her that his love is real means confronting her most wrenching fears and putting everything they treasure most at stake.

Contains mature themes.

Highland Guard

This is the 20th book in the Murray family series. Lady Annys needs help and the only one to help her is Sir Harcourt Murray. She hasn't seen him in over five years. Her husband has been murdered and her son needs a champion. Her in-laws want her keep. And will go to war to get it. Secrets from the past come to light. And not all in the village are wanting Annys's son to live. When he arrives he doesn't come alone. He brings five knights who's reputation at fighting is just as good as his. But when the war starts what will happen when it seems that all is lost? Not telling. I loved the last couple of chapters the best. Great ending. The narration was entertaining.

A fun ride

I enjoyed this take on highland romance. It has all the things you love and brings a new angle to the party that you would not expect to work so well but it does.

Great Love Story

This was a fast moving story with humor and drama. No angst. Wonderful narrator that makes you feel like you’re there.

Rooberrta is Not For the Pot

I am a devoted fan of narrator Ms Dawe. Her talents are wonderful but none better than her Scotts brogue and her interpretation of young children. This series showcases her many talents. My fave books 10,5,6 for the wit and humor.
I am listening out of order based on the publishers summery and the amount of humor author has used in the story. Hence my title. Roberta and Robin save the day and add much humor to this tale. One of the reviewers filled in the story, and I must say author stuck to the outline but had a bit too much repetitive dialogue. Yes, author had our younger cousins and bother in our mix of merry men which always adds to the fun. The mystery was clear and cleverly developed, but author must work a bit harder on less repetitive dialogue for future books as she has a plethora of cousins and brothers to weave a clever tale.
I do use the 1.25x speed for mysteries, but with this author, many times I use the regular speed for the second time I re listen to the tale.
Were my comments of help?

A Timeless Love

Harcourt & Annys
What a tragic story! I have to say that this was a story full of surprises! Wow! The lengths that people would go to, in order to have something that didn't belong to them to begin with. Something that they never had a claim to. I hate that Harcourt was manipulated into giving away a child and how he had to walk away from his true love. This is a story of overcoming, of loving, of triumph.

one of my favorites

I like it because I was still in love with the guy that left her behind and comes to save her in the end and her son and it turned out to be his son also and then he takes her with him when he goes back to his lands and then she can make it her land as well.
