Highland Wolf

All of the "Highland" Hannah Howell series books are great! I have read every one of them and thoroughly enjoy them

What can I say? I love Hannah Howell's line of Highland stories. Brain candy at it's best!

Sir James Drummond has been in hiding for the last three years but he has returned to Dunncraig under the guise of a workman. James' wife Mary was killed and he was accused of her murder. Donnell MacKay is the real killer. James intends to dig out the truth and make Donnell pay for his crimes, then re-claim his position as laird so he can get his young daughter Meggie back. Donnell has his cousin Annora come to the keep and watch over Meggie. Although Annora has her doubts about whether or not he is really the girl's father, she stays to protect her. Donnell is a cruel man. She herself has been the victim of his brutality on more than one occasion. Annora and James meet and soon become partners in passion and for James' quest. With Annora's help, James is discovering how deep the lies and treachery were. Just when he thinks he can get Annora and Meggie to safety, Donnell threatens to destroy his future in the same way he did his past. I love historical Scottish romances and Hannah Howell is one of my favorite authors of the genre. Highland Wolf is full of action, drama and deep sensuality. There are evil villains and a strong romance as well. Highland Wolf is a very good historical novel. Right down to the sexy highlanders' delightful Scottish burrs!

I love Hannah Howells Series about the Murray Clan and this one was pretty good as well. I like reading the series because I like the way she includes past book characters. She really didn't do that in this book. That was the only disapointment I had. Gillyanne is James' foster sister and they are very close. I don't understand why she was not banging on the door trying to help James. Not to mention any of the other cousins. If you're going to stick with writing from this series you should include the other characters it makes it more fun those of us who have read and continue to follow the series.

By 1477 Scotland disgraced former Laird James Drummond knows if he is caught he will be executed for killing his wife Mary three years ago. However, he also realizes as he hides that he will soon need to get inside his former home Dunncraig to find proof that his late spouse's relative and current Laird Donnell MacKay killed or arranged the killing of his late spouse. James also wants to hold his child Margaret whom he desperately misses, but claimed as his by the devious new Laird. He manages to get inside Dunncraig masquerading as a master carver. However, as he uses his disguise to get around the keep, James meets Donnell's cousin Annora MacKay, who takes care of the laird's young daughter. They are attracted to one another and she unmasks him; but instead of exposing James, she helps him. When James goes berserk when someone tries to rape his beloved Annora, they are forced to flee. However, they are caught by his enemy leaving them no time left for love as he is to be executed while she has already been flogged. Few authors if any can match the passion that Hannah Howell consistently brings to her Highland historical romances. Although somewhat like her myriad of previous well written fifteenth century Scottish tales, fans will relish Ms. Howell's terrific HIGHLAND WOLF as the probability of this couple surviving seems almost zero.
