5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Read, March 30, 2009
Highland Scoundrel was a great read because Ms McCarty knows how to create wonderfully complex heroes. Duncan has been wronged by a lot of people but the one that hurt him the most was Jean Grant. When he finally returns to the Scotland to reclaim his right to his homeland he must use her to get to the bottom of what happened to make him labeled a traitor.

What I enjoyed the most was the incredible angst of the situation that both Duncan and especially Jean found themselves in answering the age old question... how important is "family/clan" loyalty when it clashes with the love of your soulmate? Ms McCarty didn't make this a cookie cutter fix and the reader was held in the story to the final pages. The added pluse was the appearance of Jamie and Lizzie and their spouses from the first two books which brought this whole trilogy full circle to a very satisfying end.

The only draw back to this and other of her books is that she uses a bit more narative than I like, but that is a personal preference. However, for those readers who love Scottish romances, she offers something much more than the typical "kinna/dinna" books by effectivly using Scottish Gaelic. She also knows her Scottish history shown by her use of the word "tutor"

But most important she, unlike so many other Scottish romance writers, knows that Scottish Whisky is never spelled with an "e".

2.0 out of 5 stars Lack of Clarity, April 20, 2009
By Baazumi (New York City, NY) - See all my reviews
  
Having just read the first two enjoyable books in the authors new Trilogy, "Highland Warrior" and "Highland Outlaw", I was really looking forward to reading the final installment, "Highland Scoundrel", the story of the eldest brother Duncan. As the story unfolds ten years ago, when Duncan and Jeannie first met, it held my interest, but once the story goes into present time, it degrades to endless, and I mean endless, pages and pages of redundant inner dialog, rehashing again and again the same emotional issues. The same can be said for the lovemaking, pages after pages of the exact same descriptive language you've read many, many, times over. If I were to average it all out, I would say 25% real story, 40% rehashing of emotional issues and 35% rehashing of lovemaking. I can only shake my head in puzzlement how other readers could give this book a five star rating, and truly wonder if the author has lost her clarity. Why would ANYONE want to re-read the same thing over and over and over again? Very, very, disappointing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful., March 29, 2009
I read Highland Warrior: A Novel & Highland Outlaw: A Novel and all I can say is with each book the story only gets better and better.

Duncan fell in love with Jeannie Grant and she fell in love with him. The polictics of the Highlands would pull them apart, causing them to distrust each other- to be manipulated and set adrift by family.

Duncan Campbell's is a bastard, and a man who has something to prove. His integrity and honor surpasses any Highland Warrior--even after he is driven from the Highlands because of lies--he becomes well-renown on the contenient.

Upon his return, he finds Jeannie Grant, now Gordon, a widowed, with two children--and the only person he knows who might be able to clear his name. Jeannie only wants to protect her son--Duncan's son--the reason she married another man--and now Duncan if he learns of the child's birth will endanger his inheritence and live by merely acknowledging him as his son.

The romance in this was compelling and made this one a real page turner!!
