Highland Book Review

Highland Flame By Lois Greiman Is the story of Flanna the Flame and Roderic the Rogue. Flanna is a woman pushed into a position of leadership of her clan. Roderic is the brother of the head of the powerful Forbes clan who has been causing havoc for The Flame. In a plan to save her people Flanna takes Roderic hostage. Romance, adventure, and difficult choices ensue. I liked this book a lot. The plot was intriguing. The hero was very funny, sweet, strong, with limitations. Everything a good romance hero should be. The heroine was also most of these things, although she tended to rehash her insistence on not marrying a lot, which I didn't understand in the first place. 3 of 4 Highland Scoundrel also by Lois Greiman is the story of The Flame and The Rogue's daughter. Shona, a friend of the child king of Scotland and the apple of her father's eye needs to be settled down. Her father invites all sorts of powerful men to his castle for highland games in the hope that the wild Shona will choose a husband. Dugald the Dragon is at the games to kill himself a traitor. The King's advisors are certain that Shona is behind a plot to kidnap the king and must be dispatched. However, Dugald doesn't believe the fiery lass he's meet is capable of such treachery.

This one wasn't as strong as Flame. I admired Shona more as a heroine and Roderic continually walking in on his daughter and Dugald the Dragon was entertaining. However, I picked out the villain right away and it seemed to lean a bit too much on the book prior to it (it's part of the Highland Brides series, which I hadn't read)
