The Rebel Wears Plaid

Prince Charlie’s Angels #1

by Eliza Knight

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Sometimes when I read a historical romance set during the Jacobite uprising, I fear that it can become too depressing knowing how history is payed out. In this first book of Eliza Knight’s new series, there is a lot of fighting, but we do not get to the end of the rebellion, so we are left on a. Definitive high note, which I enjoyed.

In this series we see the stories of three women who swear their allegiance to Prince Charlie as youths following in the footsteps of their rebellious forefathers. They call themselves “Prince Charlie’s Angels”. All three women bring a special skill to the rebel force: a leader of men, a healer and a messenger.

Jenny Mackintosh works hard day and night. By day she is the fill in laird, while her brother is in London allying with the English, by night she travels the countryside recruiting for her rebel army.

On one such recruiting mission her party comes upon 2 bedraggled Scots trying to escape the English. She takes pity on them and takes them with her, not realizing that one of them believes her to be their son enemy.

Toran Fraser is on a missing to bring down the Jacobites and find vengeance for his family. In particular, the rebel leader known as Mistress J, who happens to also be his saviour. Toran feels an incredible pull towards her, but the guilt he feels for his attraction to his enemy is enough to keep him at bay… at least for a little while!

I absolutely adore a good enemies to lovers trope and these tow being on opposing sides of the uprising could not be any more opposite! Thier romance burns slowly, but bu the time they get together they are on fire! Very hot.

This was a great story featuring a strong female heroine and the man who ends up loving, supporting and standing by her side. I highly recommend this book!

The Rebel Wears Plaid by Eliza Knight is scheduled to be released June 30th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
