DESCRIPTION:

Willfully stubborn, innocently courageous, Callie Whitcomb braves a journey through the treacherous highlands to the MacPherosn castle. Callie flees from an unwanted marriage as well as her ruthless halfbrother. Naively she believes Colin MacPherson, the head of the clan, is loyal to her father and will give her sanctuary, protecting her from the vile plans that have been made for her.

As hard and as unyeilding as the winter storms that sweep through the countryside, Colin is irresistably drawn to the impetuous beauty who has magically appeared on his doorstep. Despite his vows of revenge against her father, she stirs his passion as well as his sense of justice...but to love her would violate all his vows of revenge.

REVIEWS:

“Highland Honor is a beautiful romance between two people faced with difficulties that they must sort through before they can find that inner peace and love they seek. I found Callie refreshing, strong and admirable in everything she does. Colin is the rugged character that has just the right charisma to cause any woman to fall in love with him. He is like a knight in shining armor that comes to the rescue. Christine Young has crafted a classy tale with all the magic and enchantment that makes this an excellent read. She breathes life into her characters within each page. I love the powerful chemistry that Callie and Colin emit when they are together. This well-written read is hard for the reader to let go. With a mixture of romance, passion, and some twists and turns along the way, this is one heartwarming story that shouldn’t be missed.” Reviewed by Linda L. of Fallen Angel Reviews, 5 ANGELS

“Highland Honor has just about everything that a reader expects in a romance story. A desperate plea for help as a young girl tries to find happiness. A Knight in shining armor coming to her rescue, who will protect her no matter the consequences, makes a fabulous read where chivalry is far from being dead. The charisma that flows when Callie and Collin meet oozes, not only in their eye contact, but by the simple words they speak when they are placed within arm’s length. Both have endured heartache that troubles them, and they need each other but must work through obstacles to make it happen. I rooted for them to find a way to work things out and be together as one. The chemistry between the two was absolutely great. This was a love story that I truly found quite engaging. The well-rounded secondary cast really makes this one sensational read that breathes life as if on a full screen for all to see.

“Christine Young gives the reader refreshing characters that are strong and direct, especially the ones within the MacPherson castle. She gives them all character and makes each believable in their own way. From the start of the book, she hooks them like a fisherman hooks a fish with a great adventure and never a dull moment. With roller coaster events, she gives an entertaining read that grasps and holds until the end. Throwing in some passion, intensity and soothing heat that tugs at Callie and Collin, she weaves a story of two people fighting for love and commitment, as well as seeking the truth. High flying rollicking fun that doesn’t skip a beat with more on the way with the MacPherson clan that is sure to delight in more ways than one. This is one read that shouldn’t be missed. Be sure to check out www.awe-struck.net and get your copy today where the essence of love continues to live within every breath of wind of the MacPherson Castle.” Reviewed by Linda of Romance at Heart Magazine

"Christina Young weaves a magical tale of romance and suspenseful drama that keeps you right on the edge of your seat. The romance and intense attraction between the two main characters brought the butterflies to the stomach as one could cut the tension between them with a knife. Wonderfully entertaining with the feeling that you are right alongside the characters and the action, I found it virtually impossible to put it down. I applaud Ms. Young for an excellent and extremely addictive read; she is definitely a reader I look forward to reading again with pleasure!" Reviewed by Vianna Renaud of TCM Reviews

"Highland Honor has it all from a mistreated heroine to the evil stepbrother and the avenging highland laird. The theme of this book, to me, is what exactly is honor. Is it just as simple as a name, a physical state, a way of life or the power of love? And what will people do for the sake of honor? There is also the realization that what you believed was the truth may not necessarily be so. Honor is all well and good but maybe, despite differences, love is worth taking a chance on…Maybe it’s my Scottish heritage or the thing about men with kilts, but I love a good highland romance. Highland Honor abounds with manly men and strong, confident women. There are lies and mistrust, danger and treason and great romance and passion. I read on to see there is a sequel. I will definitely be requesting to read that one." Reviewed by Janet of Once Upon a Romance Reviews

"Callie goes on the run to get away from her step-brother and the man he arranged for her to marry. She is rescued by a Scotsman who is the chief of his clan. He is known as Hawke. But when Hawke finds out she is Lady Whitcomb, he starts to treat her as an enemy. His father was put to death by her father and he has vowed revenge. He decides to keep Callie at his castle. Then decides he will marry her for her land. Overall I liked the story and can recommend it as a worthwhile read. The author has a lot of talent and the plot and tension of the story are well handled." Reviewed by Mary of A Romance Reviews

Excerpt:

"Ye must learn not to shy away when I touch ye." Once again, he spoke softly, his tone meant to seduce and conquer. Conquer. He wondered at that, openly marveled at the sweet possibility and the enduring promise.

Lady Callie would not willingly surrender to anyone, least of all Colin MacPherson. No, now that she knew most of the story, she would fight him in her own way, subtly and artfully. She would flirt and dance attendance upon him when they were surrounded by people she needed to enchant, but when they were alone she would lift her chin and dismiss him silently.

He would never understand what motivated her.

Yet he wanted to win this contest--this battle of wills. He needed to have her need him, to want him and to come to him with her darkest fears and in her loneliest hours. And he wanted her to burn for him just as intensely as the flames rose within him.

All the loathing he felt for her--for her father and her family remained--still...

He picked up her hand in his and studied her long, delicate fingers. Hands that had never seen a day's hard work. Hands that had pursued the finer arts, stitchery perhaps. He knew so little about Callie Whitcomb and what he now planned would weld them together for eternity.

This could only result in heartache for both of them. And yet...

Her face now framed by his hands, he traced her jaw line, marveled at the softness.

"Hawke," she whispered his name and the sound was bittersweet.

"Nay, do not try to figure out why we have been thrust together. Do not try to understand what I am about to ask of ye for ye will not be able to make sense of that which I am about to tell ye."

"I--" she began.

"Hush." He lowered his lips to hers, and brushed them softly with his own. He lingered upon the lush ripeness beneath his mouth, he feathered kisses--light kisses--where he would have liked to delve deeper and taste all that was Lady Callie Whitcomb.
