Scottish beauty Roslynn Chadwick needs the safety of marriage to protect her from an unscrupulous cousin and the fortune-hunting scoundrels who covet her wealth. And Anthony Malory is precisely the sort of handsome rogue she’s been warned against. A cunning, ruthless, yet irresistible rake, Anthony’s sensual blue eyes speak of pleasures beyond her imagining - and Roslynn dearly wishes she dared to surrender to such a man. Believing his passionate promises will surely lead to disaster. But denying her heart may cost the exquisite Highlands lady an unparalleled love hotter than flame and more precious than the rarest jewel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Loves Anthony!, August 20, 2004

By 

Dakota "daxydakota" (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tender Rebel (Mass Market Paperback)

Anthony of "Tender Rebel" is absolutely delicious. A "connoisseur of women," Anthony is a gorgeous, wonderfully charming rake who spends the entire book trying to win the heroine's love (which he doesn't realize he has). He is one of those characters you could imagine as real: an (extraordinarily handsome) regular guy with wicked wit, a penchant for the gym, and lots of buddies to get drunk and have fun with. He's not a knight scaling castle walls. He's not a prince or swashbuckling pirate. He's not even out for revenge. He's actually the kind of guy you could run into on the street...which makes you oh-so wistful, wanting him for your very own.

Anthony first appeared as Regina's adorably angry rakehell uncle in "Love Only Once," stealing the show in the first of the fantastic Malory Family series. "Tender Rebel" is the second of seven books (as of 2004). I love "Tender Rebel," which is bursting with wit, passion, and lovable characters. Both Anthony and Roslynn are made for each other - the "confirmed bachelor" and Scottish beauty have eyes for no one else. Yet Roslynn, terrified of Anthony's scandalous reputation, refuses to fall in love with him. Too bad for Anthony, who must struggle to win her over.

Roslynn has other problems besides having the most desirable man in London lusting after her. The strong-willed heiress must get herself married NOW before her fortune-hunting cousin forces her into matrimony. She agrees to let Anthony advise her on who to marry. Big mistake, since he wants her for himself.

Add to the mix Anthony's many family members (especially retired pirate James and his rowdy son Jeremy), a quaint Scottish brogue, and a rather sensual use for a chair, and you have a delightful tale of love and marriage in "Tender Rebel."

Plus, as an added bonus, "Tender Rebel" sets-up James' high-seas romance in "Gentle Rogue," the third in the Malory Family series.

All in all, "Tender Rebel" is a most wonderful read. Just remember to read "Love Only Once" first, so you get to meet Anthony before you read about his seductive romance in "Tender Rebel."

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd book of the Malory Series, April 30, 2001

By 

Abbys (Moreno Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tender Rebel (Mass Market Paperback)

First off, here is the series in sequence: 1. Love Only Once 2. Tender Rebel 3. Gentle Rogue 4. The Magic of You 5. Say You Love Me 6. The Present: The Malory Holiday Novel

Because Anthony (and James) are my two favorite uncles in LOVE ONLY ONCE, I was so excited to read this 2nd book of the series. I couldn't wait to find out who would be the lucky lady to sweep Anthony off his feet and what his story would be, I was not disappointed. The story line, twist and secondary characters truly made a big effect. The usual spice of the Malory Family especially the updates of Regina and Nicholas thoroughly entertained me. The reason why I didn't rate this book a 5 stars was cuz in my opinion, Anthony fell in love too quickly. It's just a teeny weeny unsatisfaction... His actions were abrupt and uncool considering he is London's biggest rake. I guess I expected more of him, i just wasn't convince... its was all too soon for me. Roslynn wasn't a bad heroine, she was level headed, kind hearted and witty but perhaps my mistake was that i compare her to Regina who is my favorite of all Malory. I decided to finish reading the whole series before i write the reviews so i can compare it all. Love Only Once & The gentle Rogue is my favorite of all 6 in the series. However, this book is still a great read. Despite that small niggel mentioned above, I still recommend this book to anyone especially those who started reading the Malory series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Malory is the Best!, November 24, 1999

By 

Catty Duran - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tender Rebel (Mass Market Paperback)

Johanna Lindsey is outstanding in this novel! Creating a character like Anthony M. gives us no time to work or take care of the kids until you finish the book. I highly recommend you to start reading it on a weekend, because you won't put it down. The scene at the balcony and the conservatory are the best.
