HIGHLAND PROMISE(THE MURRAYS) by Hannah Howell is an exciting historical romance set in 1444 Scotland.This is the third and final installment in the "Highland Series" but can be read as a stand alone. "Highland Destiny and Highland Honor" are the other two in this series. This is the first I have read of this series but would have to say it was a great read.It is the tale of Sir Eric and Berthia.It is an adventurous tale of love,honor,betrayal,danger,sweet sensuality,finding a family to love you as you are,and getting what is your birthright. When Sir Eric and Berthia meet,Berthia is running with her infant nephew from a madman,who is trying to kill her and her nephew.Sir Eric offers her his protection and help to get her and the infant back to her family's castle.While,Berthia is a twin,her sister Sorchia,was more looked after and is now dead along with her husband.Berthia's parents always treated her as second best,a servant and thought her ugly.When Berthia and Sir Eric are caught in a compromising position,they are forced to marry.Which Sir Eric intended all along.For he was attracted to Berthia from the beginning and she to him.Sir Eric is also determined to gain his rightful inheritance after thirteen years of dispute.Together they learn to love,trust and follow their destiny.This is a fast paced story kind of a Cinderella story where the second born of a twin is mistreated by her parents and the only true attention her receives his from her father's men at arms.With little self confidence of her own,Sir Eric will show her she is beautiful in every way.From the top of her head to her every heart and soul.Scottish man, what is not to love.Sir Eric is handsome and tough with a heart of gold especially toward his Berthia.The plot is carry out to the very end of the story,but what adventure is story is full of and danger at every corner.A MUST READ.
