When Cameron MacAlpin learns the identity of the golden beauty tossed before him as a debt payment, he can't believe his fortune! For cat-eyed Avery Murray is the perfect weapon to use against Payton Murray—Avery's brother—who dishonored Cameron's own sister. Yet his plan to deliver the same insult and avenge his clan is thwarted by spirited Avery herself, who tempts him to forget everything but the passion coursing through his blood. Still, a knight of the Highlands owes his allegiance to his clan before all else—even his heart. Avery is outraged at her captor's accusations against her brother. Though he makes it no secret that he intends to use her to avenge his sister's lost honor, he adds to her fury by vowing to take her by seduction, rather than force. Worse, she knows deep down that this virile knight stirs her as no other man ever has. Courageously, passionately, she gives him freely what he vows to take—her body and her heart—knowing that she could lose all on the chance of everlasting love.

"I must admit I am truly enjoying this series! And this book is no exception. Yeah, it's a historical romance, and yeah, it did have a HEA; however, it also was a good story w/ memeorable and relateable characters. I especially liked Avery's character, and watching her ensnare Cameron. I must add that I liked the author's use of humor, and appreciated the few plot twists and turns. I can not wait to read the next book in this series. Oh...and I would recommend this book, and the others to fans of historical romance."

Hannah Howell's legion of fans will delight in yet another installment of her Highland series. Funny, yet heart-warming and poignant, Highland Knight is just the story for an armchair vacation into days of yore where knights were bold and lassies sassy.
— Romantic Times“Fans of Howell’s Scottish series and readers yearning for a feisty romance will enjoy this sweetly savage, light historical.”

— RT Book Reviews" I love this author and have only been let down very very few times. This story was great, well developed and the characters were not flat, as always. I have grown to LOVE the family so much that I will read all the books, no matter what. I was a little let down by the h, I mean, I do not care how great looking you are or how sexually talented you are or is you are the master seducer, I will not respond to you if you are saying you will take my chastity, use it to force my brother whom I love into a bogus marriage, and use me to shame my family by blackening my name. I found Avery a total contradiction. She seemed so smart and logical with a no nonsense street sense, but was dumb as a box of rocks as soon as she got the slightest bit horny. "
— Donna, 2/2/2014" I read all of Ms Howell's books Back to Back to Back.. while this is a fun series I seriously do not recommend anyone doing so. The plots tend to be repetitious and run together. If you want to enjoy the Murray Clan, take your time.. there is much to enjoy just one at a time. "
— Shauni, 1/29/2014" Another great romance by Hannah Howell "
— Alison, 1/29/2014" I love the way the books carry on the family stories and are all woven together but can be read alone and still make sense. "
— Linda, 1/24/2014" Two families are in a he said/she said fued. Cameron believes his sister is in trouble with Avery's brother. Avery and her cousin Gillyanne are trying to get Cameron to see all isn't as it seems. During their time together she gives him her virginity and they fall in love, but are reluctant to admit it. Avery's brother is found innocent, and Cameron's sister is found to be a liar and is made to wed the one who did get her with child. Good read!! "
— Rebecca, 1/24/2014" about the romance of a young woman and a knight from the highlands of scotland "
— Bronwyn, 1/19/2014" I liked this book... the escapes, so funny. Loved Gillyanne!! "
— ♥, 1/18/2014" I'll never look at jam & honey the same way again ;) "
— Julie, 1/17/2014" Avery Murray, daughter of Nigel and Giselle, is taken captive and given as payment to Cameron McAlpin who is on his way back to Scotland to insure that his sister is done right by the man who seduced her: Payton Murray, Avery's brother. "
— Jill, 1/6/2014" This is the first HH book I ever read. I think I was a bit shocked by it for... various reasons. The only book I ever read that made me blush, sitting alone, just reading it. "
— Pixiephish, 12/29/2013" I enjoy most of Hannah Howell's books. This one is no exception and is a relaxing afternoon read. "
— Mary, 12/16/2013" What a amazing book...Avery and Cameron what a whirlwind! Don't forget about wee Gillyanna she just made your day when you wanted to jump right into the book and hit Cameron over the head for being so stupid. "
— Lady, 12/9/2013" This reads as if it were written by an author who has a computer program which switches English words, such as father, with who knows what language that says fither. Howell only has about 10 - 15 of these words, but manages to use them all on every page. Very distracting. "
— Frances, 12/2/2013" once again a great book from hannah howell "
— Mumsgang, 12/2/2013" I loved it! I actually had t laugh out loud several times, including the epilogue. Avery and her mother so true to character in that scene. "
— Denise, 11/25/2013" It was only okay. Really, I wish I could give it 2.5 stars rather than 2, because it was a good plot to start with. I didn't feel the lead male character was consistent with the his role at the beginning of the novel. "
— Laura, 11/13/2013" The plot is so far fetched and fraught with inconsistencies that I fear my IQ may have dropped as a result of reading it! I stayed with it only because the first four Murray Family books were good. "
— Delta, 11/1/2013" This was a good book!! "
— Danette, 7/26/2013" Hilarious! You can't miss with Hannah Howell and the Murrays! "
— Lisa, 7/8/2013" I read this book before I even knew it was a series had to back track to the first 4 books of the series. I love the stories of the Murray clan "
— Mary, 3/26/2013" by far my favorite HH book "
