Four highland romances in one book. They were sweet stories but not what I have come to expect from a Hannah Howell book . Sweet romances .

The narrator’s Scottish accent was atrocious 😐😂.

[Kendra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast cute read, 4 short stories with a Scottish and light magical theme to them. Not related to her other Highland series.

Edina and the Baby - 5
Sweet love story, with a Highland flair

The Magic Garden - 5
Blessings by faery can be a two edged sword and add a little magic to romance. Another sweet tale, with laird protecting his woman even if she's a bit strange

Isbel - 4
A lot of Scottish fantasy, fate putting two lovers together. A simple tale

Tatha - 4
Superstition, evil old man after the special woman, she runs and finds protection, while her protector tries at first to change her ways

The stories of four brave women

This four stories book gave me a good look at the Authors ability’s to tell stories. I enjoyed each story independently of the other as a stand alone.

Decent read. Good flow.

[Susan Ross · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book should be called Highland Heroes because it has 4 heroes in four different short stories most having magic as a theme. The stories were enjoyable but not memorable.

Highland Hero includes four short stories written by Howell, all set in historical Scotland. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed all the stories and found them fast, easy reads. I was also pleasantly surprised by the magical elements in each of the stories. The only thing that disappointed me was I couldn't figure out the "Murray" story, and did not see any clear connection to the series. I would recommend this book to fans of historical romance who like a little magic sprinkled n :-)

This books gives you four Scotsmen who when confronted with four very unusual women find that love is not a smooth. But with much perseverance and much hard work they just might get the woman each is meant to have forever. I truly enjoyed the journeys the couples went to get to the marriage. I could tell you something about each but it has been done very well by the synopsis on the book. I will tell you in several places I laughed. I will be rereading it again.

Four short stories of highland Heroes winning their lassies.

(Just a note, I just bougt this book and the pages kept falling out as I was reading. VERY disappointed in Zebra and Kensington Books. They no longer had it in the store where I bought it, so no exchange available. Now I have dozens of pages to re-insert in to the book. Definately made the reading less enjoyable.)

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of four short-story romances involving ruggedly handsome highlanders and their damsels in distress. Hannah Howell knows her Scots! They are never disappointing. It's like getting to devour four deserts in one! And yes, as the cover states, "Every Scottish lass should have one..." Grab your warmest plaid and your most comfy chair and indulge!

[Jody · Rating 5 out of 5]

When i bought this ebook I was not expecting the four short stories to suck me in. I want to see more from these stories especially the Magic Garden. Loved the cats and Gar. Great stories looking for more!

[Michele Lacroix · Rating 3 out of 5]

Highland Hero was excellent combination of four novellas. But the thing is it was advertised as a Murry novel. It is worth reading, but I was disappointed, All the way though it I wondered what couple was related to the Murrys.

[Sola · Rating 2 out of 5]

A series of four or so stories set in Scotland in the 1800s. Three of the four have some element of magic or a heroine who is a healer/may have magical powers. Cute, easily forgettable, easy reading for an evening.

[Ashley Loos · Rating 4 out of 5]

A compilation of four short novellas, Hannah Howell gives the reader bite size stories of her Scottish heroes. The stories are not related except for the small hint of magic/gifts in them. An enjoyable break from your day is what they give you.

[Christine Kochanowski · Rating 5 out of 5]

5,4,2,4 I love this author. These stories were great except for Isbel which I hated so much I didn't even finish. Edina was my favorite, I loved how strong the h is and how caring the H is, I wish this was a full length book.

[Mia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not bad, but not that great either. This book contain sweet romances, but they were not very well developed in character or plot. They stories felt like they moved too quickly because they were not well developed. Pretty generic "Scottish" speech and character types. Overall meh.

[Melissa Vasquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hannah Howell Never lets you down.

[Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another wonderful read by Ms Howell. Four stories with Four strong vibrant young independent women and four men destined to be their heroes.

[Jenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun short stories that warm the heart!

[Elis Madison · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't know this was an anthology when I bought it--not usually into anthologies, but what the hey. Anyway, I won't do detailed ratings on each story but I did like them all.

[Julie aka trouble.. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Four short but very good stories...

[Cindy Kirkland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great stories. Wish they were longer.

[Kay Fluhler · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a collection of stories published previously in other themed anthologies. The stories are OK, but put together in this book, there's no thread to connect them.

[LInda L · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was 4 novellas, 3 of which were very good. The 4th (3rd in the book) was so bad I couldn't read it. However, I usually love Howell's books, and am glad I read this one.
