Review

Juliet White has only one living relative left, the child that her now deceased sister bore six years past. Juliet is an indentured servant and chooses to sell several more years of her life to her master if he will allow her to go to Scotland to look for the child. Juliet's search takes her to the home of Lachlan MacKenzie, The Duke of Ross whom she comes to believe is the child's father. However there is one problem. Actually four...four girls who are as different as any siblings could be, except for their ages. They are all six years old. Lachlan MacKenzie loves his daughters and protects them with a fierceness no one dare cross. Each having a different mother, Lachlan must protect their mothers' identities, else they could come to harm. Politics lay at the heart of the matter, and if the history of the children becomes known, many could suffer. When Juliet obtains the position of governess to the children, her secret efforts to discover their mothers' identities is as fierce as Lachlan's determination to keep the girls' past hidden. Trust must be earned on both sides before the two can allow themselves to give in to the feelings each stirs in the other. Regardless of their suspicions and distrust, Lachlan and Juliet are drawn to each other and can no longer deny their feelings. Each of the girls has claimed Juliet's heart and once she realizes that it doesn't matter which is her blood relative, as she loves them all, an enemy from Lachlan's past becomes curious about the girls and may put them all, and Lachlan's people, in grave danger. Originally released in 1991, Highland Rogue is the first in what will now become a series...the stories of each of the girls will now be told. Arnette was once told that any story with four children in it would never make it, the only thing holding back this title was it's limited print runs! These four girls are as different in personality as they are in looks, and will enchant you. However, the fire that sizzles between Lachlan and Juliet as well as the mystery of the childrens' past will keep you on the edge of your seat! Betrayed is the first of the girls' stories and is a 11/95 release. Beguiled and True Heart are to follow.Ms. Lamb writes a classic romance! In the true spirit of the genre, Highland Rogue delivers all of it's most appealing qualities! Arnette Lamb is a name to watch for in the romance arena! Forget the blurb, forget the cover..remember, Arnette Lamb! How wonderful...Highland Rogue is just the first step in what promises to be a memorable, enjoyable experience for the romance reader! Ms. Lamb has taken a unique plot and given it a wrenching twist? What a delight to avid readers who have 'read them all'! While the girls in Highland Rogue warm your heart, the lovers will set it on fire!Diane Potwin -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars An All-Time Favorite! Absolutely Great!, May 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Highland Rogue (Mass Market Paperback)

This has to be one of the best romance books I've ever read. I absolutely loved Lachlan and Juliet. How sexy he was! And both were so appealing, so beautiful, smart, and very dedicated to Lachlan's daughters. And what a wonderful plot! One of the reasons I loved this book - there was always something intense happening ... in every chapter, every page, every paragraph, every sentence, every word!!
But having read TRUE HEART first, I couldn't help thinking of the heartache Lachlan and Juliet would come to endure in a few years with their daughter Virginia. That hardly seemed fair to these wonderful parents.
I will truly miss this wonderful author's work!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Entertaining Story, April 9, 2007

There's no question in my mind, Arnette Lamb is (was) one of the best writers on Medieval Scotland. I've read them all and none can match her talent. All of Lamb's books reveal a vivid imagination, strong writing skills, and great entertainment. "Highland Rouge" is sensual, exciting, heart warming and truly entertaining. Lachlan is a wonderful character with multiple dimensions, being not only a consummate lover of women, but a lover and protector of wee lassies as well. Juilet was well developed and a perfect match for him. The competition between Lachlan and the sheriff towards the end of the book made me laugh, and I like that. A fun story, different from the usual stuff, and totally entertaining.

I've bought all of Lamb's titles and was waiting for her next one, when I learned that she had died. I thank her for her great talent, and the many, many hours of pleasure she has offered me through her works, and hope that she finds herself back in Scotland once again.
