Yet from the moment they meet, a scandalous passion ignites between them - impossible to resist. Then a crime will force Kerry to flee with Arthur to England - where a challenge to their love could drive them apart forever....

I really enjoyed this third book in the series. I enjoyed the story and the backdrop of Scotland . The chemistry between the hero and heroine was very well written. There were some parts where I lost interest, but the last half of the book was very strong, in my opinion. Almost five stars for me. ( )

This is story is a little different from the others in this series. The story takes place in Scotland for the most part and it involves Arthur Christian learning how to work a farm in a Scottish glen. He gets this knowledge after an extraordinary adventure through the wilds of the Scottish highlands. He meets a young widow during this adventure and falls in love with her. I loved that Arthur never backed down from all the backbreaking labor that Thomas McKinnon foisted off on him. Arthur did the best he could each day that he stayed with the McKinnon clan. I also admired Arthur for treating the people he meets as equals. He talks to them and learns about their lives and dreams. He also comes to admire Kerry McKinnon. He wants to find a way to help her but he thinks the possibility of a life of happily ever after is impossible. Arthur and Kerry are from very different stations in life. Arthur believes his life is in London even though he is very happy living in Glenbaden Scotland. I fell in love with Alex Christian all over again when he tells Arthur that he should move to Scotland and marry the woman that he has fallen in love with.

Kerry McKinnon has known nothing but a life of work. She nursed her dying husband and helped the remaining clan members for the months after her husband's death. She has worked from sunrise to sunset trying to keep the clan together. When she learns that her husband has mortgaged the land the clan lives on and that the debt is being called in she tries everything to keep the clan together but there is very little she can do. Once Arthur knows what is going on he wants to help her but circumstances arise that cause some problems. Kerry is a hard working, intelligent and compassionate young woman that everyone loves. She is a happy young woman that has had more that her share of hardship. She hasn't let those hardships dampen her spirit though. While I think that she could have learned to live in London I am sure that she would never be truly happy there.

There are some terrible things that happen in the middle of this story and it cause a lot of anxious for Kerry and Arthur. They do overcome the problems but there are moments that you wonder if things will ever work out. While there is a "big misunderstanding" it doesn't seem to be as bad as the previous books in this series. These two get over their differences fairly quickly. This is another fine example of this genre. Ms. London continues to write a wonderful story that you have a hard time putting down. ( )

A wonderful story, spanning two countries and offering great highs and lows. ( )

THIRD in the Rogues of Regent Street series, and I've only read the first one, and don't have the 2nd. Argh. Still, it didn't feel like I missed anything, and Julia London's writing is just so nicely emotional. The hero's blaming himself for his friend's suicide, so decides to clear up the friend's debt due to a bad investment in cattle in Scotland. Not going into details, but hero's evicting the heroine (widow of the friend's partner), so that's between them, plus he's English nobility and she's Scottish peasant, so there's that as well. Must order the second book next time I'm ordering books. ( )
