Arnette Lamb (Author)

Book Description

Series: Clan MacKenzie Trilogy | Publication Date: February 1, 1997

Arnette Lamb's rousing Highland romances have all been spectacular bestsellers. "True Heart," her dazzling new novel set in Scotland and tidewater Virginia, brings the acclaimed Clan MacKenzie trilogy to a stunning conclusion...

A maiden's perilous voyage

Ten-year-old Virginia MacKenzie was determined to join Cameron Cunningham - her beloved friend, and now, formally, her betrothed - when he sailed to France. Arranging to join Cam's "Highland Dream" at sea, Virginia never suspected the captain of her ship would spirit her to America, selling her into vilest bondage...

A heart full of regret

Desperately, Cameron had searched for his betrothed for years when even the great Lachlan MacKenzie had given up his daughter for dead. Now Cam's only memento of Virginia was a tattered silk handkerchief with a faded hallmark...

A soul-stirring reunion - and a desparate vow

Virginia could scarce believe it when a near-miracle finally brought Cam to her rescue. Longing to rush into his arms, yet afraid of losing him once more, she hid her past and retreated from Cam's sheltering embrace. Tenderly Cam vowed to heal the wounds of the past, and win her heart once more...until she believed completely in the love that was their destiny...

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Determined to be with her friend and fiance, Cameron Cunningham, young Virginia MacKenzie runs away, intending to join him in France; instead, she is kidnapped, sold into servitude, and is doomed to a cruel, abusive life in the American Colonies. However, Cameron?along with Virginia's sister Agnes (Beguiled, Pocket, 1996)?never gives up. He knows he will find her?and he does. But the woman he eventually reclaims is not the child he has left, and it takes a lot of love, understanding, and compassion before they can overcome Virginia's devastating past and find the love they thought they had lost forever. Fans will be waiting for this third and last in the MacKenzie trilogy.

About the Author

Arnette Lamb's signature style -- fast-paced, witty, and deeply sensual -- has won her raves from critics, booksellers, and readers. Her wonderfully unique romances have all been bestsellers: from her sizzling, infamous Pocket Books debut with Highland Rogue; to her magnificent Maiden of Inverness; to "Hark! The Herald," a sparkling romance in the heartwarming collection titled A Holiday of Love, which put her on the New York Times bestseller list. In response to the huge fan acclaim for Highland Rogue, Arnette Lamb brings us the enthralling trilogy, featuring Lachlan MacKenzie's daughters, that began with Betrayed, and continues with Beguiled, and now concludes with True Heart.

Now a Houston suburbanite, Arnette lives in Kingwood with her husband, Ron. She loves to hear from readers; you can write to her at P.O. Box 6083, Kingwood, TX 77325.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Memory of This Author - A True Literary Entertainer, April 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: True Heart (Clan MacKenzie Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

I just recently found this author, and I'm saddened to learn she's no longer with us.
This book was great, the characters endearing. Cameron was a great hero who lacked for nothing. I liked Agnes, and the way she argued with Cameron, as if they were brother and sister. Virginia was sweet; unfortunately, what happened to her happens all too frequently.
Now, this mistress of Cameron's; I never got an insight into her character at all. Why did she do (say) what she did towards the end of the book? We knew next to nothing about her that would explain her actions.
I'm just now reading HIGHLAND ROGUE, and it's great. I love Lachlan and at this point, it's hard to picture him and Juliet as parents of grown children. I'm waiting for his famous temper to unleash itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful romance, June 29, 2000

This review is from: True Heart (Clan MacKenzie Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

Arnette was always one of my favorite authors and this, her last book certainly lives up to the humor and rich details of her previous works. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm certainly going to miss her books. Cancer is a tragic disease and I hate that it robbed us of one of romance's brightest stars.

Kudos and thanks, Ms. Lamb for carrying on until the end. I only wish I could have told you how much your work meant to me before it was too late.

This review is from: True Heart (Clan MacKenzie Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

this is the final book in the Clan MacKenzie saga. If you've read and enjoyed the other books in this series, especially Beguiled, Agne's story, then you owe it to yourself to pick up True Heart and find out what happened to Virginia.

Fans of Scottish Historicals should seek out Miss Lamb's books as they are older but better than some current novels out there. 5 stars!
