Wonderfully written.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love a Rebel, Love a Rogue (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Mrs.Henke does a wonderful job, she has masterfully created two romance stories in one! It does switch from one couple to another, but not in a way that cofuses or irritates! She has created wonderfully rich and in-depth characters that you will remmember long after you turn the last page!!

Terrific writing and wonderfully different story line.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love a Rebel, Love a Rogue (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you read a lot as I do, you are always looking for a different approach. Henke does a great job here setting this story during the american revolution with 2 heros and 2 heroines and connecting it all masterfully. The Blackthorne cousins are Quinton and Devon. Quinton is the heir of a father who despises him, abuses him and taunts him. The father is loyal to the king and arranges a marriage for Quinton.(Quinton of course spies for the rebels partly to defy his father). Quinton has been taught to distrust women and this "issue" rules his life so he takes a bride reluctantly, believing that madelyn will be a seen and nor heard wife. Madelyn is a throw away child herself and desparately wants a home, family and love and turns out to be a bit too spunky.....and honest..for quinton. (He doesn't treat her very well as he fights his attraction to her.) And she can hold her own with her dictatorial father in law.........Devon is like a brother to Quint but he is a half breed from his fathers second and unaccepted marriage with a muskogee woman. (There is the pre reqisite older brother and heir.) Devon was raised largely with his mothers relatives. Interesting how the line of succession in this tribe goes via the mother's side instead of the father. Devon is a charmer and a delight. He fights with the English because he feels his indian family will fare better under english rule. He is devastated when he learns that his cousin Quint is a traitor. Devon falls in love with a spoiled, noble brat who was sent to the colonies as punishement......her mother doesn't like her either!!! (There weren't any outstanding parents in this book!) Devon, of course, is totally persona non grata in her family. The stories of Quint and Madelyn and Devon and Lady Barabara intertwine throughtout the book. And the ladies become best friends and cohorts to save their men. There is no graphic war stuff and a little too much descriptive info on the indians for me BUT there's more than enough story to make this enjoyable.Theres also a lot of action, scheming women and villains to make it a page turner. I would read it again so it got a 5*.....Hope this is helpful.

So good!,
This review is from: Love A Rebel...Love A Rogue (Blackthorne Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
Both Quint and Devon are, in their own ways, "bad boys" who give their women a lot of guff. You know, you could intellectualize this tale and compare Madelyne and Barbara to the ragged colonial troops in the book who battle and finally defeat the arrogant British. But hey, save the intellectual stuff for the professors. This is a story crafted to entertain and satisfy readers. And it does both.
