My Highland Rogue

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.

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
