 Highland Destiny September 16, 2008
The book was advertised in very good condition. I was disappointed to get this book, as many many pages had fallen out of the binding.
 Not bad April 28, 2008
This was not the worst book I have ever read, and not the best. The story line was pretty good. However the brogue was "verra" strange and I couldn't get over the main character's names. "Maldie" made me think of "moldy", and what kind of name is that for the heroine anyway?! Balfour also is weird and doesn't make me think of a handscome Scottish laird at all. The conversation had a Shakespearian feel to it as well. I could never get into Shakespeare, thus I couldn't get too much into the conversation flow here either. But, it does start the Murray clan series books, so that's why I read it.

Hannah Howell will always be one of my favorites. It strikes me as funny that the lead female has "very long legs, slim & beautifully shaped. (even though she is very short and has on a dress). To give Hannah credit it does say that the dress is old and worn, fitting her snugly. I don't know how you can tell that legs are beautifully shaped while wearing a long dress.
The Scottish brogue in this book makes it a hard read. I usually like a little bit of this added but this book is full of it. I also felt like Hannah keeps going around & around in just about every chapter how Maldie will be seen as a spy if they find out she is Beaton's daughter. I never could understand this plot. She wanted the same thing Balfour did - Beaton's death. It never made sense to me why she kept it a secret.
 I hate books written with a phony scottish brogue! July 3, 2007
Why is it that some authors need to make us work at trying to figure out what the characters are saying? I am looking for story to enjoy. A book that I can curl up with. Instead I get a book that is hard to read. Ms. Howell is infamous for doing this. Please stop.
Another great read. February 26, 2006

With the love of the Highlands of the past, this is just another one to add to the collection as I found all of this author's books. Romantic, strong willed characters, with passion for life this one is true to form, leaves you with the wanting of more to complete each players life. Can't wait for the next one.
