Publisher's summary

Ten years ago, young Elspeth Murray rescued a wounded knight and lost her heart forever. Now a stunning beauty and gifted healer, she is reunited with Cormac Armstrong when he saves her from an unwanted suitor. But Cormac is promised to another, a woman who has blinded him to her ruthlessness. Now Elspeth must battle against the odds to claim a man and a love she will not be denied.

Cormac is stunned by the desire Elspeth's kiss awakens - and cannot resist the temptation she offers. A man of honor, he is torn by his pledge to another and his growing need for Elspeth. Blinded by duty and indecision, he is unaware that he is a pawn in a clever and deadly trap from which Elspeth is desperate to save him. But by the time he understands her gift of selfless devotion will it be too late to claim this perfect love?

Great start to a new Highland Clan

Sexy Highland warrior Cormac rescues his 'soul mate' who had rescued him 10 years ago when she was but a bonny wee girl of 9. Elspeth has loved and dreamed of the boy she saved all those years ago then, unbelievably, there he is rescuing her from the clutches of a demented Laird who has kidnapped her and is determined to marry her.

Cormac and Elpeth flee to the Royal Court but on the way Elspeth must convince him to break a vow to another beauty by any means she can - including sex.

Lovely story, yes a little unbelievable, but my fellow romance listeners - that's why we love them so much!!

Hannah Howell Read Beautifully!

I have always wanted to be able to listen to Ms. Howell's books, but I feared that the accents wouldn't be handled well. I was completely satisfied by Ms.Dawe's narration. I have always loved Ms. Howell's books. Ms. Dawe made them sound just the way I thought they would in my head. Highlanders in love! Swords! Wonderful!

Good listen

This was my first book by Hannah Howell. It was better than I expected. The story was predictable but had a few superises. I plan to listen to more of her books in the future.

VT. FAN

If you could sum up Highland Vow in three words, what would they be?

ABOUT TIME AUDIBLE

Who was your favorite character and why?

ELSBETH. STRONG FEMALE LEAD. KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS AND GOES FOR IT.

Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

DAWE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ABSOLUTELY NOONE BETTER TO DO A HIGHLAND ROMANCE NOVEL. I HOPE THE REST OF HANNAH HOWELLS BOOKS WILL BE IN AUDIO FORM AND THAT DAWE CONTINUES TO NARRATE THEM.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

ANGELA DAWE MADE THIS BOOK COME TO LIFE FOR ME. THE CHARACTERS WERE SO VERY VERY WELL DONE. YOU LAUGH AND CRY AND MISS THEM TERRIBLY WHEN DONE. THATS A GOOD AUTHOR AND NARRATOR.

Any additional comments?

ALL OF HANNAH HOWELLS BOOKS SHOULD BE MADE INTO AUDIO AND ANGELA DAWE SHOULD DO THEM.

AWESOME!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Highland Vow?

I loved the one thing that Cormac did to when Elsbeth back.

Where do I begin...the story had so many. Mrs. Howell is a wonderful story teller. There are too many wonderful scene.

Good story but terrible reader

What did you like best about Highland Vow? What did you like least?

I love most of Hannah Howell's bookds. They allow you to escape to a different time and place, but the reader has NO emotion in her voice and often when trying to sound sensual for the female character, she sounds like she has a cold and she often gives the female character a voice deeper than the male's voice. It was very distracting.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

There was no emotion. Though not exactly monotone, she often ended each sentence with an tone that is almost a question, but not quite.

Strong Characters Strong Story

I loved it from beginning to end. The heroine should have used a bigger stick on the hero, but she got him straightened out in the end. Along with a good story and strong characters there was some enjoyable humor. My only negative is the use of the term wee enough that it became a little annoying to me. This was my first book by this author and I look forward to others.
