About the Author
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."
Handsome as sin and more dangerous than the devil himself, Braden MacAllister had but one affliction in life. Read the first page

Abysmal,
By "klpepsi" (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Claiming The Highlander (Mass Market Paperback)
Maggie ingen Blar was fed up with the bloodshed of her family and people, the result of an overlong clan war with the neighboring group. So she came up with a viable plan to put an end to the problem. Organizing the women of not only her clan, but also their rivals, they had separated themselves from their men. In doing so the men would not enjoy any of the privileges of marriage, until they agreed to stop their foolishness and declare peace.What she didn't count on was the men sending the one man she, and most women, had a special weakness for. Braden MacAllister, the most devastingly handsome warrior to tread in her path, could deliver the fatal blow to her well-laid plans. He figures a little charm and sweet talk ought to do the trick, but Maggie proves to be made of sterner stuff. So he may have to pull out the big gun, so to speak, to convince her to give up. This was my first perusal of a Kinley MacGregor novel, and after reading some of the glowing reviews of her work, I could hardly wait to try one out. This has to be the worst kind of disappointment, when you're expecting something really wonderful, and it turns out to be, well...really bad. The premise sounded okay, although rather thin in the plot department. But I really thought the humor I had heard so much about in her books would prove to be the glue holding the story together. However, the humor seemed really forced, as if the author was trying too hard to make it funny, so the result was contrived. The characters are one dimensional, and there was nothing present here to engage my emotions and make me care what happened to them. In fact, this story was just plain boring, and I couldn't get past page ninety-seven. I skimmed ahead to find the section where he, ahem...pulled out the big gun, and even that was rather boring. There's nothing here to recommend, and this is my first, as well as my last, MacGregor novel. I have to say I am baffled by the dismal quality here, because she also writes as Sherrilyn Kenyon, and I thought the book FANTASY LOVER was quite good.

How could you give Kinley less than 5 stars?!,

This review is from: Claiming The Highlander (Mass Market Paperback)
She is truly the best romance author out there right now-and no, this is not Kinley, nor am I related to her or a friend of hers :).Perfect, perfect, perfect is how I describe every K.M. book I have ever read. "Master of Desire" is my favorite, but they are all fantastic. My only criticism of this book is that I found the whole Braden/women thing a bit far-fetched. The women *always* chase him? He *never* instigates the relationships - even when these women are throwing themselves at him?! Come on! But besides that ridiculousness, this was a perfect read. I highly recommend this (as if you couldn't tell).

Good, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Claiming The Highlander (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first KMac book that I had to kind of skip through some of the wording. I thought there was a lot the same thing repeated over and over. I did find the book humorous but unfortunately I found several parts hard to believe also. Not to say this is isn't a good story it just isn't one of my favorites of her books.
