A fantastic romance,
This review is from: The MacGowan Betrothal: Highland Rogues (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1535 Scotland, every lass desires Gilmour MacGowan except apparently, Isobel Frasier, twin sister of his brother's wife. Though he can have just about everyone, Gilmour wants the one he cannot have as he admires Isobel's independence and fire. She rejects his advances though secretly inside her heart and soul she covets Gilmour, but believes that she must forgo love and relationships because her clan needs her now. Additionally, he may be the enemy. Gilmour begins his quest to win Isobel's heart, but soon concludes he already has that just like she has his. Instead, he realizes he must overcome her obstinate beliefs that personal relationships will interfere with her helping her clan. He knows he must prove he cares for her clan as much as she does and that together they can defeat any foe. However, Gilmour will soon learn how much he underestimated the strength and determination of his beloved. Though characteristic of a sixteenth century Scottish romance, MACGOWAN BETROTHAL is a strong tale because the key two players provide readers with a humane look at the era. The story line is fast-paced and Gilmour is a mighty male star that female readers will happily adore. However the stalwart lead female protagonist owns the plot as her actions, compassion, and inner strength moves the audience as easily as she moves the tale forward. Lois Greiman has written a wonderful Highland Rogues novel that entertains her fans just as her previous stories have done too. ...

A waste of time, if not for the laughs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The MacGowan Betrothal: Highland Rogues (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm sorry but about a third of the way through the book, I realized that I really did not like it. I could NOT stand Isobel, the heroine. She wants Gilmoure; she doesn't want him. I felt like I was going around in circles. And as for Gilmoure's secret...please, how unbelievable could that be? It WAS funny, hence the '2' rating, although I felt that at least two instances were contrived in order to get a laugh. One was Isobel's last kidnapping. At least I think it was her last, I lost count. The second was Isobel and Moure's stay with Lady Madelaine. What a menagerie! Francois, Gilmoure's frisky stallion who ogled every mare in sight, was the best part of the story. Although there was a very tender scene when 'Moure was holding 'wee Mary' in his arms and she looked at him with such trust and contentment that it gave Isobel doubts as to her opinion of Gilmoure. And there again is another problem. I don't remember if FRAZER BRIDES explained where Mary came from, and it would have been appreciated if Ms. Greiman had either explained this fully or, at least refreshed my memory. Wee Mary was simply referred to, once, as a fosterling of Ramsey and Anora MacGowan. I would recommend: The Southern vampire series by Charlaine Harris. ANYTHING by Sabrina Jeffries and Karen Monk. Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series.

What a Waste!,
By V.Owens (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The MacGowan Betrothal: Highland Rogues (Mass Market Paperback)
Gosh, I kept waiting for this book to get good, but it never did. The story line was completely FLAT! No excitement. And speaking of the story, maybe it was just me, but a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense. It just didn't flow right to me. Character were poorly developed. BUT, it did have some funny parts, however they weren't worth enough to read the whole book.
And his secret. PLEEEASE! Give me a break. I guessed the "secret" very early on, of course, and was hoping I was wrong. It seemed rather unlikely and completely out of left field. Nothing about the scope of the character made the secret believable. Anyway, the end was the most disappointing of all. Just a COMPLETE WASTE. Don't even bother.
