Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Following the exploits of a proud knight and a spirited young heiress, this fast-paced Highland adventure, the second in Howell's newest trilogy (after Highland Knight), is a bracing blend of high suspense and sizzling romance. When Contessa Delgado releases Sir Revan Halyard from her guardian uncle's dungeon, he demonstrates his gratitude by taking her hostage. Ironically, she finds she's safer in Revan's company than in Uncle Thurkettle's keep; her uncle, after all, planned to kill her so that he and his avaricious daughter could control the lands and fortune Tess inherited after her parents died. While hiding out in a remote cave, Tess learns that Revan is a spy for the crown and that he suspects her uncle of consorting with a clan plotting to overthrow King James II. A strong romantic bond builds between Tess and Revan as they attempt to dispatch the traitors but, in the end, her inheritance proves to be their biggest stumbling block. Revan, a younger son short on land but long on pride, refuses to marry Tess until he has property of his own, and it's up to Tess and her amiable clansmen to convince him that marrying into money for love is not a crime. Howell's deft use of period dialogue lends the book a tangible sense of time and place, and her protagonists' spirited interactions will swiftly endear them to readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed

I so enjoyed this historical novel. It rekindled my love of historical stories. The fleeing danger, the high sensual nature of being chased, hot highland alpha and sweet strong willed endangered female...all things this author is so good at the weaving for the perfect story. Totally worth reading again. I bought this many many years ago. I did not remember ever having read. It must have gotten lost in my to read list. It is so entertaining and I regret not having read it sooner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Medieval Romance
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018

This is a good Medieval romance, with a mostly likeable couple. I did want to shake Revan a few times, because of his ridiculous pride problem, but I know that was included to give the story the angst so many readers want. Note to authors: Some readers, myself included, would prefer less angst over silly problems like this. If there has to be angst, make it realistic and not silly.

The story was entertaining, though, and I didn't want to put it down until I finished. I really liked Tessa, and her father's family was a riot. I liked that the women were all so outspoken, yet the men loved them as they were. (I realize that part was probably not historically accurate, but it was fun to read, so I didn't care.)

For those who want a clean read, be warned that this is not the book for you. The sex scenes are not particularly explicit, but there are quite a few of them -- and they are not within marriage.

I enjoyed reading another wonderful story by Hannah Howell. I have read all of her stories except the ones about vampires. She is a wonderful writer who can make you feel like you are there watching everything that is taking place. The hero and heroin was perfect for the book because they were a good match even though the hero was a little hard headed about his pride. I want to thank her for being such a wonderful writer.

I've read at least a dozen of her Hannah Howell's novels and this one is my favorite so far. It's got everything - intrigue, romance, strong characters that are believable, and all in historical 16th Century Scotland context. Great fun. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hannah Howell always writes a good story!

Hannah Howell always writes a good story, with great characters, history, and romance. In this book, "Highland Hearts", the dialog was quite entertaining. I often had to laugh at the bickering. The history, about the Douglas Clan trying to take the throne from James II, was interesting but a bit slow to get involved in. The story moved a lot better in the second half, probably because I understood more about what was going on, and I became quite invested in the love story. I loved the ending!

Wonderful story. I felt as though i was living in that time period. Loved the comradery. Such a fine romance for the main characters. Liked the relatives of both parties. The villians were truly very bad people, who deserved all that befell them,

I loved the way the story flowed and the charaters we're developed during all the drama and danger in the plot. Just when you thought it was safe, a twist and turn steered our heroine into danger. Our hero had his share of demens haunting him that worked to detour his happiness.

Contessa lebt nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern bei ihrem bösen Onkel und ihrer gemeinen Cousine.
Eigentlich wohlhabend, wird sie in Lumpen gekleidet und wird eher wie eine Dienstmagd und Last behandelt statt als Familienmitglied. Aus Neugier und um ihrem gewaltätigen Onkel zu entgehen, geistert sie deshalb durch die Festung und entdeckt auf diesem Wege auch den neuesten Gefangenen ihres Onkels.

Revan ist gleich zu Beginn von Contessa bezaubert und braucht auch dringend ihre Hilfe, um den Kerker lebend zu verlassen. Durch unglückliche Umstände kann er das nur indem er Contessa als Geisel nimmt und sie entführt.
Natürlich stößt das bei Tessa nicht gerade auf Begeisterung. In den Jahren, die sie bei ihrem Onkel lebte, musste sie sich schon einiges gefallen lassen und daher begegnet sie Revan mit größtem Misstrauen. Durch die Geiselnahme hat er ihrem Onkel nämlich die beste Vorlage für Tessas Tod gegeben, damit dieser sich das Erbe seiner Nichte unter den Nagel reißen kann.

Trotz Revans Auftrag für den König, Contessas familiären Problemen und ihren eigenen widersprüchlichen Gefühlen, kommen sich die beiden auf der Flucht vor ihren Verfolgern näher. Allerdings gibt es an der ganzen Sache einen Haken, zumindestens sieht es Raven so: Contessas Erbe...

Zum Glück stehen den beiden ihre liebevollen und äußerst unterhaltsamen Verwandten zur Seite :-)
