Product Description
Ten years ago, young Elspeth Murray rescued a wounded young knight and lost her heart forever. Now, a stunning beauty and gifted healer, she is reunited with Cormac Armstrong when he saves her from an unwanted suitor. But, Cormac is promised to another, a woman who has blinded him to her ruthlessness. Now, Elspeth must battle against the odds to claim a man and a love she will not be denied. Cormac is stunned by the desire Elspeth's kiss awakens, tries to resist, and fails, the temptation she offers. A man of honour, he is torn by his pledge to another and his growing need for Elspeth. Blinded by duty and indecision, he is unaware that he is a pawn in a clever and deadly trap from which Elspeth is desperate to save him. But, by the time he understands her gift of selfless devotion will it be too late to claim this perfect love?

 Was there a MAN in this book????? January 25, 2008

I love romance books. Contemporary, historical, some paranormal. I don't mind alpha males, or 'normal' males, or even (sometimes) alien males. But I really like my men to be MEN. He fell so short of that description, that, were I Elsbeth, I'd check to make sure he still had his....spine, and not the word "WELCOME" down his back. I can understand a man pining for a woman. It can even be made believable to a point. But this story dragged on so much, and belabored his "love" for a woman who so clearly didn't deserve it, that I, frankly, wouldn't have him even if he came covered in gold.
And, please, if authors ever read these comments, please, please, please quit writing with an accent-doesn't matter which one - Highland, Southern, French, Spanish, bad, unbred historical English. It is so distracting to the plot line, and sometimes annoying to decipher that I've started to flip through pages while in the store to make sure that little annoyance is kept to a minimum.

Elspeth Murray rescues a wounded knight Cormac Armstrong ten years ago and falls in love with him. Fast forward ten years, Cormac rescues Elspeth from an unwanted suitor and is stunned that seeing her has awakened his own romantic feelings for her. Gilly (Highland Bride) and many Murray cousins from other books are mentioned in the beginning of the story.
 What a WUSS!!!! March 5, 2006

It got 2 stars because the beginning wasn't so bad but come on...he is still panting after a woman who passed him up not once but 4 times over...and she is betrothed again!!! Vow or not what a loser! I was willing to go along with the story line until he gave up Elspeth and then I say "forget it...he is a wuss not worth her or anyones time." And when he learns the cold truth about the other woman (looking like a complete ninnyhead when he hears it) he still doesn't flee to Elpeth's side... Even Elpeth character voices her anger over this.
And lastly what was the purpose of getting all these extra characters involved anyways. Who cares about adding the baby, the cat, or the extra kid. They have no point in the story.

Hannah Howell is a great writer if you are looking for a wondful scottish romance novel you have found it!!
This is the frist book in a trilogy that captures the lives of the children of the Murray brothers. That trilogy starts with Highland Honor.
9 years old Elspeth Murry rescued a wounded knight by the name of Cormac Armstrong who was 17 years old and on the run. Elspeth lost her heart forever to him.
Now ten years later she will risks everthing to win the heart of the man who captures hers. They are reunited when Cormac saves her from an unwanted suitor who will stop at nothing to get her. Along the road a passionate desire grows between them, However Cormac is pledge to another and is torn by it beacuse he is a man of honor, but he has a growing need for Elspeth.
His duty is blinding him and he dose not see that he is a pawn in deadly trap set by the woman the he pledge hinself to when he was very young, Elspeth is desperate to save him, However by the time he understands the trap that was set for him and that he really dose love Elspeth she has left him so now he needs to try to win her back!!!
Once you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down you will love it for sure!!
