5.0 out of 5 stars The "Brawlin' Scot" and the bluestocking, January 24, 2001
By 
Tina (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Scotsman's Lady (Paperback)
What a wonderful read. When reading the reviews for the follow up to this book, The Scotsman's Bride, this book is much maligned. Pay them no heed, the book was wonderful. Connor McKensie, Earl of Kinleith, need to gain back Glen Gray - a former property of his clan and a much disputed piece of land between the McKensies and their enemies the Forbes. The problem is Glen Gray is currently in the possession of Davis St. John, Charlotte's father. In order to earn funds he desperately needs to attempt to buy back the land he becomes a prizefighter. Both Charlotte and Connor are attracted at first sight, and Connor thinks that cultivating their acquaintance can be good in the long run for his dealings with her father. Charlotte is gentle, studious, naive, reserved and wholly against boxing. Connor is bold, very physical, and actually enjoys his fighting. Sounds like they have nothing in common. Except each other. They arrange to show each other opposite sights in London. He shows her how the other half lives (foundling shelters, street fairs, etc.) while she takes him to see the sights and to literary groups.

The story was great and you can actually see them falling in love. The only part that I didn't care for was Connor's behavior during the championship fight. I didn't understand Ms. Madl's reasoning behind Connor's actions, but aside from that the story was definitely worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for the Brawlin' Scot!, September 1, 1998
This review is from: The Scotsman's Lady (Paperback)
A romance novel with a real story line! Enjoyed partaking of Linda Madl's research on boxing in 1828 London, also her handling of the orphans and children of the street was a great addition. Wonderful portrayal of hero and heroine. The mental attitude of twins, Charlotte and Cassie was refreshing! Thank you Ms Madl for a great 'read'!

4.0 out of 5 stars warm, intreguing, sensual to the point, beautifully descibed, November 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Scotsman's Lady (Paperback)
This was the first i have read of Ms. Madl's writings, very well done. I was most impressed with history of the time, the sensitivity of the characters and the family ties. I would be very eager to read other books by her. I only would have like to know the outcome of Gray Glen and Forbes.
