A troubled Scottish beauty finds just the hero she needs when she saves him from drowning in a historical romance by the New York Times bestselling author. 
 
Responsible for protecting her younger siblings from their abusive father, Bethoc Matheson is in no position to rescue another soul in Scotland. Yet when she sees a bleeding man on the verge of drowning, that’s exactly what she does, securing him safely in a cave where she can return day after day to tend to his wounds.
 
Sir Callum MacMillan can scarcely believe such a slight lass as Bethoc could save him from the grasp of death. But he knows the telltale marks of an angry fist on her skin, and he knows she has the soul of a fighter within her feminine frame. Raised to be a protector of the weak by his Murray clansmen, Callum would prefer to be the one saving her—and save her, he will. If he can first survive the treacherous attack that led him into her irresistible arms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Murray story.
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

There are very few Hannah Howell books I have not read. There are several loaded on my kindle to be read. Highland Chieftain is the 21st book in the Murray family saga. I don't know how she does it, keeping each story unique and yet keeping true to the Murrays. Reading one of her Murray books gives the reader a chance to visit with old friends. Although her storylines give us new characters, previous ones are always lurking somewhere. Highland Chieftain is a nice addition to the Murray line. As with previous books, it is fast paced, full of danger, intrigue, and of course romance. Bethoc lives in an abusive home, with a father who in his unhappiness beats his children when things aren't to his satisfaction. There are eight of them altogether, Bethoc and her sister, Margaret and six boys who the father has taken either from the streets or their families. He needs them to work in his fields. Bethoc tries to escape from this brutal situation by taking walks when she can be free. One one of these walks she finds Callum MacMillan, beaten, half drowned, and with a fractured leg. She hides him in her secret cave. And so starts their story. However, along the way there are a lot of issues, danger, and situations not of their making. This is another great read from Hannah Howell, a must read for her fans. I received an advanced reader copy at no cost from NetGalley for an honest review.

Bethoc & Cullem are good characters, both are working through problems. Surprise that Bethoc didn't push against having sex so soon and Cullem didn't have any concerns taking her. They didn't really bring up the chance of pregnancy, it's not like they have birth control. But other than that I live the story. I like the secondary story with Robbie & Lauren, it was a good touch. I like little Margaret she was a great little character without overdoing it. Would like to see a book about her when she gets older.

"Highland Chieftain", by Hannah Howell, is a continuation of a series of books about the Murry clan in Scotland. I loved it. This is the story of Callum and Bethoc. It's filled action and adventure as both the hero and heroine rescue each other from serious troubles.

Ms. Howell is one of my favorite authors. She has a way with telling a story, with a good eye and ear for descriptive phrases and dialogue that keeps the story moving. The plot is good, and the characters are good decent men and women. Even the villains are well drawn. Her editing and proofreading teams are excellent.

If you like good love stories about Scotland and the clans, with interesting characters who fall into their troubles at a young age and grow up willing to help and protect others, this is a book for you.

Its been too long. Ms. Howell is a wonderful writer and the Murrays is one of my favorite series. Bethoc and Callom's story begins with the attempted murder of Callun. Bethoc, who like a lot of the Murrays has a special gift, FIDS him washed up on the shore and rescues him. Using her gift, she can tell that he is a good person , so she hides him and takes care of him. Bethoc has an unusual family of mostly brothers and one very special sister , Margaret. This story is filled with intrigue, kidnappings, murder, and of course love. In true Hanna Howell fashion you are entertained until the end. All said an excellent read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016

I was really looking forward to Callum's story. I expected a moving, gutsy book with all the action and witty, enjoyable dialog Hanna Howell usually writes. Sadly I found it seriously lacking in both. Callum is an unsure dithering character and is nothing like I expected him to be. Bethoc, who has grown up in isolation is naive, (as you would expect) one minute then wise and sure the next. I found the story to be tame and at times rather confusing and nothing like the other Murray books. I feel this story was written hurriedly and without much thought and maybe is one that shouldn't have been written at all. I would have been better off with my original fond feelings about Callum. Unfortunately, now I don't even have that.

These are great beginner romances.

Detail without too much detail and a fast read.

If you are a fast reader day to a day and a half tops. If you are a leisurely reader two weeks tops. Great series too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exhilarating Highlander Historical Romance!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

This is the very moving latest addition to Hannah Howell's well loved Murray Family saga. I've always hoped that Callum MacMillan would get his own story, ever since he was introduced as a sexually abused young boy in the novel, Highland Angel. In that earlier novel, Callum showed promise of becoming a strong, unflinching, defender, champion, and caretaker of abused women and children. Highland Chieftain confirms that this early promise has been fulfilled. I also enjoyed the interaction between Callum and Bethoc, along with her siblings; especially headstrong little Margaret! Although this novel is part of a long running series, it can be read as a stand alone and has no cliffhangers.

*I Received an ARC for an Honest Review*

Highland Chieftain is a well developed historical romance that I have to say is probably my favorite book by Hannah Howell. The characters and plot line are well developed and I love how Hannah Howell incorporated other characters from when Sir Callum MacMillan was rescued as a child. Bethoc Matheson is my new favorite heroine. She is a protector, smart, intelligent, independence and a fighter.

If I close my eyes I can picture the Scottish Highlands because her description is like visiting Scotland in person. If you are a Hannah Howell fan or just looking for a new author/book to read then Hannah Howell is worth the money.

I have collected all of Hannah Howell's books. She never fails to entertain with her books. I would recommend any of her series about the Murrays, but would advise reader's that all her books are a continuation of the families. They can be read as stand alones; however, I enjoyed reading about Sir Callum MacMillan as a grown man. I was introduce to him as a lad in "Highland Angel (The Murrays)".

C'est simpliste au niveau de l'histoire. Il ne se passe pas grand chose réellement et on surfe toujours sur les mêmes idées : l'héroïne en danger, elle sauve le héros, le héros au passé trouble, la difficulté d'avouer ses sentiments... et un peu de danger pour corser le tout. Un livre facile à lire où on attend qu'une chose : ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants :)
