Highland Honor

Written by Hannah Howell

Narrated by Angela Dawe

Nigel Murray saw through her masquerade from the start: a young woman trying to pass herself off as a page. It almost worked —until she was unmasked in battle with the English, at the point of a sword.  Nigel recklessly saved the raven-haired beauty, whose secrets now endangered them both. He spirited her off to Scotland, determined to erase the terror he tasted in her kiss.

Gisele knew the dark side of men, having barely escaped the brutality of her highborn husband, Lord Deveau. Now, with Deveau murdered and a price on her head, she was every man's prey—hunted for a crime she did not commit. Nigel is her only refuge, a handsome stranger who challenged her with a fiery sensuality that burned all fear in its wake. But to truly trust him, Gisele must put the past behind her, and let her heart accept the simple truth . . . of his undying love.

Excellent book. One again The Murray Family clan makes a new addition. Book (2). The usual man rescues woman. Giselle on the run in France. Nigel becomes her protector. After many adventures trying to get past the bad guys, he finally gets her to Scotland. What do you think happens after that? I became a little bored with the hiding and chasing adventures but okay....still a fantastic book.

Sharp and fun! 1437 late medieval historical romance romp!

Intrepid French woman posing as page flees across France from her husband’s kinsmen. They’re out for blood. Gisele has been accused of murdering her foul and depraved husband. She didn’t, but no one was believing her least of all the powerful DeVeaux’s who have placed a bounty on her head.
Just as she’s about to be captured by two of the DeVeaux men, a pesky Scotsman offers her assistance and sanctuary.
Sir Nigel Murray has been fighting in France for seven years, having fled his homeland clan because of his love for his brother’s wife. Nigel’s entranced by this elfin, feisty female (think the passion and cutting tongue of Leonore from These Old Shades) who also bears a startlingly likeness to the woman who’d had him leaving Scotland
Taking Gisele into his protection, their flight towards a port as they seek a ship bound for Scotland, is a series of triumphs and setbacks, with both learning to lover again.
Mind you Gisele is non too pleased when she finally discovers Nigel’s reason for leaving home and hearth. Fireworks are very much part of this woman’s arsenal.
I have read very little of The Murray’s series, but I do like Hannah Howell’s work, particularly her Wherlocke series. I found this title pleasantly engaging.
This book has apparently been around for at least a decade but is re-releasing in July 2022 as a mass market paperback.

A Kensington Books ARC via NetGalley.
Many thanks to the author and publisher.

This book has one of my favorite themes- the heroine is an abuse survivor. The relationship between Nigel and Gisele is sweet and I enjoyed watching him help her deal with her traumatic past. I've added the rest of this series to my to-read shelf, it's shaping up to be a favorite, I think. (4 stars)
