Brief Book Summary:
New York Times bestselling author Hannah Howell continues the spellbinding saga of the powerful Murray clan in this sensual tale of lovers both tempted and tormented by their own passion…
A reckless need to break free of his family led Gregour MacFingal Cameron on a quest for a rich bride, only to fall prey to kidnappers and be tossed into a cold cell. He is soon joined by a frightened young woman who makes him regret his mercenary search for a wife. After a daring escape, he gladly joins Alana Murray’s quest to rescue her sister, and soon temptation leads to seduction, with unspoken promises easily made, but harder to keep.
Alana knows the bond forged by danger and desperation has earned her an ally willing to fight for her sister’s cause. But Gregor’s tantalizing seduction leaves her breathless, and she seizes her one chance to experience true passion before an arranged marriage seals her fate—never anticipating the inescapable intensity of a man and a love that will change everything…

Alana Murray's twin sister is missing. When her brothers set out to find their sibling, Alana does what any good sister would do. She follows them, keeping far enough behind so that they can't send her back home. Unfortunately, she gets separated from them and captured by the Gowans, who want to hold her for ransom.
Gregour MacFingal Cameron has left his family in search of a bride. He thinks he's found one and is on his way home to talk with his father when he is captured by the Gowans. He's been in their prison a few days when they toss a child down with him. Gregour thinks the person sharing his cell is no child, but there's no way to be sure.
Working together, Alana and Gregour break out of the prison and start a quest to find Alana's sister. Along the way, they must keep ahead of the Gowans and battle the growing attraction that they feel for each other.
I very much enjoyed Highland Lover. Ms. Howell weaves a tale of adventure and romance that captures the reader and holds them spellbound. Particularly well done is Alana, who is a strong woman who won't be taken advantage of. This was my very first Hannah Howell adventure, and it won't be my last. Lovers of historical fiction will enjoy this book very much.

First of all let me say that I enjoyed this book. Howell writes well and the characters are well drawn and likeable, but that's because I've read about them before! HELLO! Does anyone else notice the glaring similarities in the last three books? Hero and heroine meet by fate and begin a journey together. They're attacked by evil-doer's and escape and make their way to Scarglas. They're forced to marry for safety/reputation reasons. The hero recognizes early that the heroine is his 'mate' or 'fit' or 'right'. The childlike heroine (that's creepy!) can't help but fall in love with the huge warrior ( are they all 6' 4"?). Hero doesn't realize he loves heroine till she's in phyisical danger and he rescues her. Hero also tries to get herione to say that she loves him, but won't admit it himself. Sheesh!
I just can't believe how similar these books are! Howell has got to think of a different story line. So if you've read the Conqueror or Champion, you'll be dissapointed in these if your looking for originality.
I'm a bit sceptical about the subsequent one, Highlander Barbarian. In that one the hero goes on -what else?- a journey to bring back a herione heir to clan. At least I'm sure that Howell will be introducing some new characters.
Read the Highlander Warrior, its very good and much better than the other three.

Hannah Howell spins another great tale in this book of struggle and strenght, love and hate, pain and pleasure.
The Highlands seem to come alive at her fingertips.
With the colorful descriptions you can close your eyes and you are there. In the dark underground cell. To the prefect marriage bed with all the traditions thrown in. A MUST READ.

As a big Hannah Howell fan I couldn't wait for this book to come out. I found the book to be 'just ok' because the hero, Gregor, wasn't very likeable. He's not the strong alpha male that is typical for this series. I found him wishy washy, indecisive, and kind of boring.
The part of the book I really enjoyed was catching up with characters from previous books in the series. Ewan and Fiona's story was one of my all-time favorites so that is why I gave this book 3 stars vs. only 2 stars.

This was a very enjoyable read. Alana and Gregour got themselves kidnapped and held for ransom. They escape and try to make their way to Scarglas dodging the kidnappers as they travel. During this time they fall in love but say nothing to each other.
Gregour was considering marriage to someone before the kidnapping and decided it wasn't what he wanted after all and then he meets Alana. He doesn't tell her what is in his heart because he's afraid she will turn away from him because of his overtures to another woman, and he doesn't want to give her the chance to do so. He also doesn't want her to think he's fickle.
Alana says nothing because she isn't convinced she's worthy of him. She's the plain wren and her sister is the beauty so doesn't think a man like Gregour would want a "wee brown wren".
They have a little more of an adventure which keeps you interested before they finally admit to each other how they feel and work everything out. They figure out a few things about themselves and each other and you can see the result.
Alana and Gregor's story did not have a deep or complicated plot and it was not as sensual as some of the previous books, but it was sweet and easy to read. It was nice to read one where the couple wasn't constantly at each other's throat. This is a keeper.
