Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
Howell (A Taste of Fire) kicks off her new 15th-century Highland trilogy with the story of Lord Balfour Murray, laird of Donncoill. His arch-enemy Sir William Beaton kidnapped Balfour's younger brother, Eric, and an attempted rescue ends in defeat and injury. During the retreat home, Maldie Kirkcaldy emerges from the bushes and offers her healing services. She, too, has a score to settle with Beaton and wants Balfour's help. Although the unkempt Maldie protests loudly and frequently about not being a whore like her mother, she and Balfour quickly become lovers. Torn between lust and duty, an increasingly suspicious Balfour imprisons Maldie, who escapes to Beaton with Balfour hot on her trail. While the narrative is rich with detail and the plot promising, the pacing is uneven and the dialogue clotted with "havenae"s, "cannae"s, "isnae"s and "verra"s that add little authenticity but much confusion. And any reader who cannae ken the wee secret, isnae trying verra hard. (July)

    Hannah Howell's stories are imaginative and captivating

    I have to disagree with the other reviewer. I think that the voice and accent that Hannah Howell uses in her Scottish stories helps transport me to scotland. If you've ever listened to someone speak with a scottish burr it is melodious. The way that Hannah writes encourages that voice in my head to to come to life right along with the story. Thank you for creating page-turning stories that keep my nose glued to my book and my kids whining for mom to get off the couch!

    I'VE FOUND THAT THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING

    I'VE FOUND THAT THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE CANNAE HAVNNAE'S IN THIS BOOK ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE TO READ AND NOT THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY ENJOY READING. I HAVE ALL OF THE HANNAH HOWELL (HIGHLAND SERIES) AND I DIDN'T HAVE A HARD TIME KENNING WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THESE BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL THEY'RE FUNNY, SUSPENSEFUL, AND DOWNRIGHT ENJOYABLE WHEN YOU TAKE FOR A BOOK AND NOT REALITY. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT FICTION.
