Download Description:
Journey to the treacherous and tempestuous Highlands of fifteenth century Scotland in Hannah Howell's passionate tale of a feisty beauty determined to uncover the softer side of the iron-willed warrior who has wed her, bed her.and stolen her heart. Though she has yet to be courted by any man, spirited Gillyanne Murray decides the time has come to visit the dower lands gifted to her by her father's kinsmen. She arrives to find the small keep surrounded by three lairds, each one vying for her hand.and property. Though resolved to refuse them all, the threat of battle on her threshold forces her to boldly choose a suitor: Sir Connor MacEnroy, a handsome, daring knight of few words. As his wife, Gillyanne is stunned by his terse, cold distance-and her own yearning to feel passion in his arms. Now, bringing her healing touch to a land and a keep ravaged by treachery and secret enemies, she dares to reach out for the one thing she fears she may forever be denied.her husband's closely guarded heart.

I just loved this book! Gillyanne is somebody I can really relate to because she is really crafty and really made the suitors work hard to win her hand in marriage. She took two of them for a ride they would never forget and also would not want any other man to know about!
Just after her marriage she also surprised her new husband in the bathhouse and it was very funny how the author described the men's reaction to her entering where they were bathing and frolicing with the village whores.
It is a very tender love story and should appeal to most fans of historical romance and especially fans of Hannah Howell. It did get a little bit boring when she continually described how the young men had to fight to keep the people in the clan alive and to rebuild their keep. All in all, I give this book two thumbs up!

deserves 5 stars by all means. I also liked that men were so approachable and open to new ideas.

I loved this book. It is my favorite so far of the highlander series by Howell. The characters are interesting and likable, and had me laughing out loud at times. I thought the plot and story were stronger than in Highland Warrior and so forth, but the series is good. Writing in the Scottish accent can be challenging, and is somewhat unnecessary throughout the book. I would like it better if it were used just for emphasis when needed. In general it is a very enjoyable read.
If you like this, you might enjoy Lisa Kleypas as well.

I liked it very much! Good storyline and it makes me want to buy all Hannah Howell's books during same approximate time period and setting (excepting the vampire stories).

This is by far my favorite book of the series so far, I have about two or three left to read, but to date this story out shined the rest. It didn't feel that way at first, it wasn't until I got to the end of the book that I could truly appreciate what I had read. What makes this story so remarkable is Gillyanne's cunning and adaptive nature. When she aquires the land between three fueding lords, she finds herself bombarded by the three men demanding she marry one of them. Being a woman with ideas and thoughts of her own regarding marriage, she turned them down and in doing so had to face their wrath. You will find yourself pleasantly amazed by the ways she manages to keep each suitor at bay without shedding any blood before finally giving up and choosing the best of the three. The rest I leave up to you to discover on your own, but I truly reccomend this addition to Hannah Howell's brilliant series. It was my favorite, and it could become yours.
