Bestselling author Hannah Howell's captivating new trilogy featuring the irrepressible Murray daughters continues with Highland Knight, a tale of revenge and desire in 15th century Scotland, where a proud knight seeking retribution falls in love with his beautiful hostage...
Avery Murray is given to Cameron MacAlpin in payment of a debt. He intends to use her against her brother Payton, because Payton is alledged to have ruined Cameron's sister. Before he can do this, however, he finds himself tempted by her spirit. His honor as a knight and his passion begin to war against each other.
I love Howell's Highland series and enjoyed this book a lot. However, as I was reading this book I began to wonder why in the world this woman fell madly in love with her captor?! I know, I know this is a typical plot to historical romance novels, but how realistic is it? I would think that the whole captive/captor thing would majorly dampen any amorous feelings that may develop. Ok, that's my little rant about that topic. I truly did like this book, but can't help wondering how stupid the women in these historical romance novels really are.
I love the Highland Series! This one was very good! I love all the romances set in the period of knights, castles, etc.
