"Well, this is my second highland guard novel. I read #6 first, and although I liked it, I didn't love it. I've been downloading them from my online library, hence the lack of sequence in my reading. I downloaded this one, the story of Hawk, and was pleasantly surprised. I loved it!!! I love the characters, especially Ellie. She's described as plain and ordinary, but she is far from that. Our hero, Erik, is described as handsome, beautiful and carefree, but he's much more than that. They are thrown together in a difficult situation (I don't want to give any spoilers away), and I gotta say, They way Ellie doesn't put up with any of Erik's 'shite', was awesome! I loved how we get to know them both just as they get to know each other, and realize what amazing people each of them are. I fell in love with the characters just as they did. I haven't read much from this author, but she does an amazing job bringing the story to life. I look forward to read other highland guard books. If they're as good as this one, I'm in for a treat! :)." — Esther (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was a good story. I love the Narrator. He has a great Scottish accent. "
" love all of her books "
" Even better than the first book, The Chief. "
" really enjoyed reading. couldn't put it down "
" I just finished this one! I thought it was lovely, although Erik's personality flaws could have been explored more thoroughly. Can't wait for The Ranger!!! "
" Just goes to show that the arrogance and stubborn refusal to admit feelings is something ingrained into all men no matter the century...another great highland guard book and cannot wait for "Ranger"s story. "
" Good read again! "
" Not a s good as the first book, but still enjoyable "
" Loved it! Such a great story! "
" So good! As the first one, once you get into the first couple chapters its a page turner! I loved the characters. *Humph..... good stuff. "
" A great light romance book that delivers. "
" I enjoyed the first book in this series, "The Chief", but for a history buff, this was just as good or better because Robt. the Bruce was more integral to the plot. I like the fact that McCarty's books are well researched, action filled and have great romance. "
" a little more sex in places, but I love the whole history stuff with Robert the bruse! "
" I pre-ordered "The Hawk" from Book Depository after having read "The Chief" which I really enjoyed. It arrived in the mail yesterday and I devoured it. Loved it. Can't wait for "The Ranger". "
" I love how the player finally falls for the simple girl! "
" another great read by this author who bases her characters on real historical people. Erik MacSorley is a great hero, and the girl he comes to love is also a very interesting character. Recommended. "
" Another wonderful read in this series. On to The ranger now. I can't put them down :) "
" Oh The Hawk is my favorite. :) "
" A weak 4 - listened on Audiobook. Good solid highland story with a bit of true history worked in. I really enjoyed Ellie and Hawk's romance. The only complaint I have was that it seemed to drag a bit in the last quarter. "
" I thought no one could top the Hero in the first book of this series but The Hawk, Erik, is definitely my favorite now. Tall, blond, sexy, charming, and a viking. Need I say more? "
" This hero is YUMMY...and the story is wonderful. You'll fall in love. "
" This, the 2nd in the Highland Guard series, is excellent! I loved reading about Erik MacSorley aka Hawk and Ellie! I cannot wait for the next book in this series! Note: Historical Romance set in Ireland / Scotland in 1306 & 1307. "
