This review is from: The Scottish Lord (Signet) (Paperback)

Ian MacDonald yearns to go into battle. His true love Frances Stewart refuses to marry a soldier. Angry and resentful of Frances' ultimatum, Ian sails for South America to join a war. Frances marries to spite Ian. Without his childhood love, Ian is a "man without a center". Stubborn pride, lies, and grief all play a part in keeping this couple apart. This book reads as an old fashioned romance. It's predictable that Ian and Frances will wind up together, but still a pleasant read.

This review is from: The Scottish Lord (Paperback)

Not one of my favorite early Wolf regencies. I must say I never thought of the Guardian when I read it, but I can see some similar themes: childhood sweethearts; separated; heroine marries someone else; other guy dies, hero comes back. The hero is too mean to the heroine for my taste.

This review is from: The Scottish Lord (Signet) (Paperback)

This is an interesting book to read if you're interested in the evolution of the author. You'll see many themes/characterizations that the author used in the later (and better)work, The Guardian. Some key differences: the hero is a much nicer man in the Guardian. In The Scottish Lord he "cheats" on the heroine twice that we know of and probably many more times during their long separation. The heroine is presented as a very strong woman, but in the end she forgives the hero far too easily and ends up seeming very weak.
