The Hawk

Haydn MacGowan is known as the Hawk -- the strongest and most dedicated warrior of the king's guard. A man who shares the secrets of his heart with no one, he is impervious to feminine wiles -- until luscious temptation arrives in the lovely form of the gypsy lass, Catriona. But even as the Hawk falls under her spell, he knows she's hiding something.

...And His Prey?

Catriona is on a desperate mission - and the Hawk is a very large, very handsome obstacle. Seduction is her best weapon, she thinks -- until she gets caught in her own trap. And as passion burns bright, she wonders: dare she trust the man she's come to love?

Review

"Greiman's writing is warm, witty and gently wise." -- -- New York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn

About the Author

After trying her hand at practically everything from horse-training to high fashion modeling, Lois Greiman finds she most enjoys living vicariously through the lives of her fictional characters. Although she prefers her own world to remain relatively tranquil, she encourages her heroes and heroines to take outrageous risks, vent their tempers and generally take life by storm.

Born a North Dakota farm girl, Lois now lives in Dayton, Minnesota with her veterinarian husband, their three children, and as many horses as can fit on a twenty-acre farm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Succeeds on All Levels. But who is that guy on the cover?, March 11, 2000

This review is from: Highland Hawk (Highland Brides) (Mass Market Paperback)

A tidy mystery unfolds as heroine Catriona, a gypsy performer, meets a wealth of possible suspects and tries to determine who done it. Hayden MacGowan, a.k.a. the Hawk, is effective as the young King James' loyal guard, hero and would-be-foil to Cat. She digs him, but can't tell him what's up. He grooves on her, but deems her too young and vibrant for a world worn highlander such as himself.

Written in an easy and impeccably confident style, HIGHLAND HAWK successfully interweaves the romance, the external plot, and the relationships between Cat, Hawk and the twelve-year-old king. Cat is especially delightful, comfortable with her exotic allure, and fun to watch whether she's flying through the air or snooping in guests' rooms looking for clues. Hawk may be too fatherly a hero for some, but his years give him a laid back rather than gung-ho attitude. He suits Cat, though, much to his dismay.

Ms. Greiman balances exposition, dialogue and backstory effortlessly throughout, a key to maintaining the forward momentum of the plot. The many characters are introduced at a pace that enables us to keep track, and each has a distinct personality. Both hero and heroine share equally in the outcome, an essential element in a satisfying romance.

Humor, intelligence and warm relationship between Cat and Hawk, make this a must read, not only for sixteen century Scotland or Highlander aficionados, but all lovers of historical romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highland Hawk, February 22, 2001

This review is from: Highland Hawk (Highland Brides) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a wonderfully fabulous book. Catriona, the heroine, was fascinating and charming. King James was adorable. The other characters, several from Ms. Greiman's previous books, were, as always, delightful. But it was Haydan the Hawk himself who was irresistible. What a guy. They don't make 'em like that anymore. I can't wait for April when Greiman's next book comes out.

I love all of them just wish it was not so hard to find the ones that are out of print. Makes me wish that I could go back to that time.
