My Highland Rogue

The Highland Fling Book #1

by Karen Ranney

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Two star-crossed lovers bound to be separated by society’s expectations…

Jennifer is the daughter of an Earl and Gordon is the son of the gardener. They are raised together on the same estate and Jennifers kind-hearted mother even has him educated with Jennifer and her son the Earl… But as they grow up and the affection between Jennifer and Gordon becomes obvious, the Earl and his guardian conspire to have Gordon removed from the estate. He sent away without even a chance to speech to his precious Jennifer, whom he is told wants nothing to do with him.

Gordon heads to London and put an inheritance eh has received from the kind-hearted Countess to good use and in five years creates his own financial empire. When a letter from Jennifer arrives, telling him his father’s death is imminent, he finally decides to return to the estate… and confront Jennifer.

Jennifer has spent the last five years heartbroken after the sudden departure of Gordon. She has written to him many times and never heard back… until he shows up at the estate a changed man.

Jennifer and Gordon soon reconnect only to discover more secrets and lies are afoot keeping them apart…

This was definitely a page turner for me! After the character reconnect so so early in the book, I had assumed class differences would create obstacles for them as a married couple, not that they would have major obstacles placed in their way to even getting married. I was surprised by their turn of fate and intrigued as they moved forward and made peace with their discoveries.

I was torn in my review for this book due to the recent racist comments the author made on her blog. I had committed to reading and reviewing this book prior to the comments being made and have kept my obligations.

I was greatly disappointed when I personally looked into the situation and saw the hurtful words that were said.
I do not support her views.
