Though few can equal her skill with the sword, Caledonia MacNeely fights an unfamiliar shiver when she is offered in marriage to the infamous "Lord Sin." Though Callie fears this mysterious, unreachable stranger -- less for the dark whispers that damn him than for the heat of his touch -- she is under the order of the English king. And with the fate of her troubled clan hanging in the balance, she has little recourse.
Banished as a child, "Sin" MacAllister learned to despise his Scottish heritage. Yet now, to unmask King Henry's foes, he must return to the hated Highlands -- wedded to a bewitching lass whose flaming red hair matches the fire of her spirit. A cold, hard heart has always been the key to Sin's survival, but this beauty awakens in him a perilous need he's never known.
Raised in the middle of eight boys, and currently outnumbered by the Y chromosome in her home, Kinley realizes the most valuable asset a woman has for coping with men is the ability to appreciate them for what they are -- wonderfully different (and having a sense of humor certainly doesn't hurt).
Her goal in life is to share laughter and to bring a little sunshine into everyone's day. "After all," Kinley says, "kindness costs nothing to the person giving it, but it can mean the world to the one who receives it."

Kinley MacGregor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Born In Sin (Mass Market Paperback)
Kinley MacGregor is just one of those authors you absolutely adore. her plots are unique fiery and very sensual. No matter the story she tells you will be captured up in the drama of it.Along with Kinley MacGregor, another author that I have gained much respect for is Katlyn Stewart for her romantic fiction.

It made me cry ....,
By Streakblondie "streakblondie" (Lower Hutt, Wellington New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Born In Sin (Mass Market Paperback)
Born in sin is one of the best historical novels I have ever read (I have read a lot of hisotrical novels) .... and yeas, the ending did make me cry (and not because they got married or anything dimwitted like that!).I am impressed with Kinley MacGregor's (who I will refer to as Kinley) writing style: it is humourous, deeply emotional, and smooth ... the story seems to glide along. It is perfect! Unlike most romance novels, the "hero's" in Kinley's novels are not perfect, they are not "rakes", they are not nasty, mean, arrogant idiots! ... I will let you discover just what kind of men Kinley's heros are BUT they are truly lovely to read about. Sin, our main man in Born in Sin, is definitely a man in need of a kind, caring women .... and Caledonia is just the women for it! Based mainly in the highlands, this is a story about hope, romance, and family ties ... and yes the rest of the MacAllisters If you like a story with a difference, a romance that is emotionally fufilling and sweet, then this is definitely the book for you! I actually give this book a 5++ (my top rating). It's worth the read, and you will read it more than once .... I already have! Kristina

Great book..,

This review is from: Born In Sin (Mass Market Paperback)
I usually don't read historicals, but I have read the Dark Hunter series written by this author under the name Sherrilyn Kenyon and wanted to try her books under Kinley MacGregor.I was pleasantly surprised, the book had all the trademark style of the writer- humor, redemption, and an unforgettable hero and heroine. Sin was great- handsome, intelligent, and honorable. Callie was the perfect heroine for this tortured hero. The story was pretty good and the setting rang true for me, unlike in other historicals where you don't get that sense of time and history. This, as well as the other characters and the fast-paced dialogue were all well done. My only complaint in the book was that at times Sin was too fatalistic. He never once cut himself a break and really allowed himself to believe in himself or in Callie. Lucky for him, the heroine was one patient woman! All in all, I really enjoyed the book and will be on the look-out for the other McAllister brother's stories.
