Midnight Honor (Highlands #3)
by
Marsha Canham (Goodreads Author)
Weeping from the wild splendor of the moors to the battlefields of a land divided, Marsha Canham weaves an unforgettable novel of Jacobite Scotland — of a man bound by honor — and of the woman fated to both desire and defy him.
Powerful, brave, irresistibly seductive, Angus Moy, chief of Clan Chattan, was everything Lady Anne could desire in a husband and a lover. But that...more

This is the final book book in the HighlandsTrilogy, and honestly I was somewhat disappointed. While I liked the story and the Hero Angus MacKintosh and the heroine Lady Anne Farquharson Mackintosh "colonel anne". This book is based on the actual historical figures and actual events (I don't know enough of the history of course to know how much). I found the story fascinating and the facts amazing that a woman in that time actually lead her clan in a war. (you go girl).

I loved this book, and indeed all three books in this series. If you have a love of the Scottish Highlands and its people then I would strongly recommend you read these books. Midnight Honor could be read as a stand alone read, but you will get so much more from it if you read "Pride of Lions" and "The Blood of Roses" prior to this book, as there are cross overs with characters. "Midnight Honor" tells the story of Angus Moy and his wife Anne, who are on opposites sides leading up to the battle a...more
This final book in The Pride of Lions trilogy centers on the Story of Lady Anne Mackintosh who is an actual historical figure and is known as "Colonel Anne" in history books. Col. Anne went against her husband and roused 800 clansmen in support of Prince Stuart's efforts to win back the thrown of Scotland for his father. She led the clan to battle at Falkirk and Culloden. I found her story fascinating as women in that era were not permitted to think for themselves let alone lead troops. An excel...more
A worthy continuation of "Blood of Roses" and "Pride of Lions." The only series I've seen where the second book is better than first and third better than second, as its more historically focused, the drama more realistic and adult, the characters better presented. I enjoyed the MacGillivray angle. Overall, fell short of a good book though, perhaps because I just read Gabaldon, whose description of same events is brought to life so vividly, perhaps because it starts out so ominously, I kept expe...more
A Sweeping Scottish Saga!
You won't regret buying this book—nor any in Canham’s Scottish trilogy set in 18th century Scotland (PRIDE OF LIONS, BLOOD OF ROSES and MIDNIGHT HONOR)!
The first one tells the story of pampered English beauty Catherine Ashbrooke and Alexander Cameron, the Scottish Highlander who wins her in a duel. He carries his reluctant bride off to the Highlands where clan feuds and fomenting rebellion will sweep them into historic events and where their courage, as well as their lo...more

I enjoyed this book so much I read it twice and would not be opposed to reading it several more times. First when I was reading the whole series and then some months later because I kept thinking about the characters and the story.
This book takes place during the mid 1700s when Scotland is at war again with England. Scotland is divided with those loyal to the English King and those (mainly Highlanders)who believe Prince Charles Stewart should be King. Not only is the country divided but familie...more

After the amazing beginning of this trilogy (in The Pride of Lions and The Blood of Roses), this one might be a disappointment for some (me included). It's obvious it was written some years after the first two books, for though it's supposed to be a somewhat of a continuation of the Jacobite-struggle storylines, it falls a little flat and doesn't seem to have much in common with TPOL and TBOR beside the heroine (that appeared in a secondary role in the second book in this trilogy).

Oh my gosh, this was a VERY good book, ESPECIALLY for the history! I've read a ton of historical fiction that deals with the '45 Jacobite Uprising, but none has had as much detail surrounding the battles and circumstances around them as this one has. Colonel Anne is an amazing historical character akin to Joan of Arc. This is the 3rd in Canham's Highland series, but sequentially it does not follow the second book. Rather it goes back and overlaps the second book but from Colonel Anne's point of...more
Bittersweet tale, pretty accurate as far as Wikipedia can tell me ;) loved that this historical encounter between man & wife on opposing sides of the battle field made the book
"The Prince paroled Captain Mackintosh into the custody of his wife, Lady Anne, commenting “he could not be in better security, or more honourably treated.” She famously greeted him with the words, "Your servant, captain" to which he replied, "your servant, colonel" thereby giving her the nickname "Colonel Anne".

All I can say is Lady Anne Farquharson Moy was one damned lucky lady to get her pick between Laird Angus Moy, The MacKintosh of Clan MacKintosh and Chief of Clan Chattan, and Laird John Alexander MacGillivray. Talk about dark and brooding versus blond Adonis.

This is a heartbreaking look at a very bad time in history for our beloved highlanders. It is an interesting book. A little light on the romance and quite heavy on the war. So much so I'm afraid I was skipping over some of it. I did have to finish it because I got involved nicely with the characters. Over all opinion is a good book .
Passionate and well-written book that was a surprise to my search for more realistic relationships during the Jacobean rebellion. I was captivated as a reader until the end...no gratitutous sexual relations like in most romantic historical fiction pieces. Very old school...suggestive without being derogitive.
preparing for my trip to the UK by reading this Jacobite historical fiction. Loved the first two...loving this one! Can't wait to see the placed they are talking about and living in! I loved reading this story since it completes the story told in her other Jacobite novels! Great to relive this story prior to the big trip!
Marsha Canham was a new author to me. This book was grittier then other's I've read but had a solid romance between Angus and Anne. I like that Anne was not an angel and had a past history. I really enjoyed this one and I'll definitely be reading more Canham.
ok, is this a fun book. yes. are there men. yes. are there kilts and scottish accents and a sassy lady torn between two lovers, yes yes YES! is it going to make you smarter, or a better person. n. o.
trish, i think you would like this one.

I LOVE Marsha Canham's books. And this one did not disappoint. Anne Moy married to handsom Angus Moy seems to have everything until her husband decides to favor the English, while she is a passionate Jacobite. Secretly meeting with her grandfather and a childhood friend, John MacGillivray, she plots to help Bonnie Prince Charlie regain the Scottish throne. Both are passionate in their choices, but Angus who desperately loved his wife, does not report her to the English as a traitor. The story st...more

The third book in Marsha Canham's Highlands series. I thought I would be disappointed with book because it does take a different path from the first two books. But yet again, Canham pulls through with a vivid description of the Rebellion. A historical romance about pride and devotion. And a women pushed to the edge of her wits to defend herself, her friends, and her family.
I really did enjoy this final book in this series. This time frame fascinates me.
I really enjoyed this whole series. War, scandal and romance. Takes place in 18th Scotland before and during the war at Culloden.

excellent novel of Jacobite Scotland.
Excellent book,loved it.
Why I didn't like the book:
-Hard to follow if you haven't read the other books in the series.
-The heroine, from my point of view, is in love with two heros. You're bound to favor one hero over the other so you may be very frustrated with the heroine.
-One of the heros has a fiance; made me feel as if he were cheating.
-Heroine refuses to listen to her husband even though he is doing what is best for them. She makes rash and unrealistic decisions throughout the book.
-Too much history in a romance n...more

I didn't even finish this book. I don't like that I didn't know who she was going to get with. There were two love interests kind of. Poo, I didn't like it.
This was a fairly good book. A little to "romance novelish" in parts, but good historical fiction, too.
Re-read did not disappoint. Excellent final book in a trilogy. A must read.
