This is the first book in a series featuring sexy Highlanders and the outspoken women surrounding them. It's an intriguing read with memorable characters and a satisfying start to an entertaining series that I look forward to reading more of.
This is a story about honor and revenge and who's really to blame in the rugged world of the Highlands. For Clan MacPherson, their hatred is focused on the Whitcombs whose patriarch they believe put their Laird to death. Revenge is never simple though as Colin MacPherson soon finds out upon meeting Callie Whitcomb. And as much as he wants to despise her, he finds himself falling in love with her and marrying her to protect her from her vile step-brother.
This was a nicely paced story full of conflicting emotions. Colin is a strong character who just wants to do what's right for his clan while living up to his chivalrous nature by protecting Callie. There were times I found him overbearing in his dealings with Callie and his sister though. But then he'd pile on the charm and sexiness and win me over again. Callie too was a character that I found irritating at times. There were times she seemed overly naive and weak in temperament. Even though she'd been through a lot before coming to Colin, I would've hoped that would've made her stronger and more of an equal to Colin. In their sexual interactions though they were very in sync. These scenes were sexy and romantic and nicely spaced throughout the story.
The villains in this story were truly nasty and added an interesting layer to this story through their actions. Along with these entertaining villains are some wonderful secondary characters. Colin's brother and sister and best friend being the most memorable and ones that I look forward to reading more about.
All in all this was an enjoyable historical read with beautiful scenery that drew you into the story with memorable characters that kept you there. For fans of historical romance looking for a satisfying read look no further than Highland Honor by Christine Young.

Lady Callie Whitcomb is running for her life. In a desperate attempt to escape an arranged marriage to Lord Huntington, Callie leaves her step-brother Archibald who has the intention of marry her off to the despicable man. She turns to the only man who can help her – Colin MacPherson aka Hawk.
However, Hawk has vengeance on his mind when he realizes Callie’s true identity. As the kin of his great enemy, Hawk seeks to exact revenge once and for all. But can Hawk continue to ignore Callie’s presence or will he succumb to his desires and fall prey to his passion?
While I wasn’t too keen on the main characters, I did think the story was good. For some reason, I could not relate to Callie. In the beginning, she seemed too overdramatic. I couldn’t follow why she was so desperate to escape until later on. Also, I did not like the fact that at one moment Hawk was admiring Callie from afar, but then suddenly he hears news about her identity and suddenly, he wants nothing to do with her. I wished for a little more consistency in the character’s personalities.
Highland Honor is a story filled with exactly what the title entails. Honor is the prevalent theme. If you enjoy highlanders and honourable men, then I suggest checking this book out.

All in all it was enjoyable. I will be reading the next two stories in this triology. Even if I didn't like it I would have to keep reading the next books as I need to see one of the bad guys get what is coming to him. Bertham is a vile creature and I am hoping he meets a horrid ending so I can have some peace of mind. The villians added a interesting layer to the story. I also love Collins sibblings and look forward to their stories. Likeable characters. At times callie bugged me. I wanted to yell at her to stay in the castle.....she was a danger magnet. Colline is a great romantic character. The sexy scenes were fantastic. I loved their first night together. The scenes were nicely spaced and not overdone.
