About this audiobook

Sir Tormand Murray is certainly a rogue, but a callous killer? Never. Yet he cannot explain how he came to wake up next to the butchered body of one of his former lovers. Someone is prepared to kill again and again until Tormand is found guilty and hanged. And his only hope of discovering the culprit lies with Morainn Ross, a reclusive, sensual beauty gifted with second sight.

Branded a witch, Morainn has never met a man who accepted her strange talent, much less one who could so easily inflame her passion. There's no resisting Tormand's rugged masculinity-and no escaping the enemy, who grows more twisted every day. And even as logic decrees that a lasting union is impossible, Morainn knows that her destiny is bound forever with the knight who has claimed her, body and soul.

    Highland Sinner by Hannah Howell is #16 in her fascinating "Murray Family" series, but can be read as a stand alone. This is the story of Sir Tormand Murray, a rogue, who is being hunted for killings he did not commit. Whoever, is committing these crimes is out to have Tormand hanged. And, Morainn Ross, branded as a witch, a recluse with the gift of second sight. She and Tormand become instantly attracted after a horrific scene of a terrible crime. What they find together is danger, passon and strength. But will they be able to save each other from the rage, revenge and slight of another, from the one who is causing such distress and destruction to the village. Killing women who may have been one of Tormand's lovers in horrific deaths, by torture and destroying their beautiful faces and souls. But who could be causing such maliciousness and death throughout this small village. Easy to read, fast paced, heart-pounding story of secrets, twists and turns, treachery, betrayal and love. Hannah Howell is well known for her Scottish Romance, her vivid descriptions, her captivating characters and her intriguing storyline. She never disappoints me and I certainly found "Highland Sinner" a touching story with many surprises and an uplifting ending. An enjoyable and satisfying read! I received a complimentary copy.

    Death comes calling.Apart from the opening horrific images I really enjoyed this. The gory descriptions of butchered women threaded throughout are not for the faint of heart.Tormand appears to being pursued by a maddened killer trying to indite Tormand for the murders being committed. The fact that he wakes next to a horrifically butchered former lover doesn't argue well for him being held responsible.Morainn Ross is a wonderful heroine. Sir Tormand Murray is the bad boy who has played the cavalier lover for so long he seems to have reached the satiation point of unmeaningful liaisons. When he sees Morainn he is seized by the Murray blessing of finding his soul mate--not that he can even acknowledge that. He's an unbeliever until it slams him in the face. Even then he's a bit slow on the uptake.The tension builds nicely and there are a few mysteries that are solved along the way apart from the identity of the true murderer. Having the blame shifted to Morainn and Tormand is a dastardly touch of misdirection and evil is truly present.The new rather dishy cover brings it into line with the others of the series.A NetGalley ARC

    AUTHOR: I'm one of those people partial to author Hannah Howell. Her flair for writing Scottish Historical romance is awesome. I love the use of the words that she throws in there, "I wish I could tend to YE now, LASS,..... "There are a few LASSES left in this town whom he HASNAE bedded." Her series always appear to have (2) main characters that cross paths which leads to l'amore. But, not before they either give each other a headache or someone else a headache.GENRE: Historical romanceSETTING: Scotland 1478CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: She lives away from town with what people believe is her son. She tends to her garden and animals. She has a gift which some accept and call on her but others consider her a witch. CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: He will rut with any woman that is willing. His best friend cannot think of one woman that he has passed up. A series of murders has him rethinking about his ways and the dark cloud upon his character. SYNOPSIS: A serial killer is about and he is being suspected by the townspeople to be guilty. Every woman that has been murdered has been in his bed at one time or another. His best friend is the Sherlock Holmes type and has come in to review the evidence and try to find the killer. Although she has never met him, she has dreams about him and other dreams that wake her in the middle of the night. She finally sees the man with the mismatched eyes.WHAT I LIKED: I love Hannah Howell books and the series. I love reading about relationships and how families take care of each other. And I luv luv luv reading about the start of another new family.WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: It took a little too long to get to the point in this book hence 4/5 stars
