The "Brawlin' Scot" and the bluestocking,
By Tina (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scotsmans Lady (Paperback)
What a wonderful read. When reading the reviews for the follow up to this book, The Scotsman's Bride, this book is much maligned. Pay them no heed, the book was wonderful. Connor McKensie, Earl of Kinleith, need to gain back Glen Gray - a former property of his clan and a much disputed piece of land between the McKensies and their enemies the Forbes. The problem is Glen Gray is currently in the possession of Davis St. John, Charlotte's father. In order to earn funds he desperately needs to attempt to buy back the land he becomes a prizefighter. Both Charlotte and Connor are attracted at first sight, and Connor thinks that cultivating their acquaintance can be good in the long run for his dealings with her father. Charlotte is gentle, studious, naive, reserved and wholly against boxing. Connor is bold, very physical, and actually enjoys his fighting. Sounds like they have nothing in common. Except each other. They arrange to show each other opposite sights in London. He shows her how the other half lives (foundling shelters, street fairs, etc.) while she takes him to see the sights and to literary groups. The story was great and you can actually see them falling in love. The only part that I didn't care for was Connor's behavior during the championship fight. I didn't understand Ms. Madl's reasoning behind Connor's actions, but aside from that the story was definitely worthwhile.

warm, intreguing, sensual to the point, beautifully descibed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scotsmans Lady (Paperback)
This was the first i have read of Ms. Madl's writings, very well done. I was most impressed with history of the time, the sensitivity of the characters and the family ties. I would be very eager to read other books by her. I only would have like to know the outcome of Gray Glen and Forbes.

Disappointment in the last chapter of the book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scotsmans Lady (Paperback)
This well put together story held my interest until the last chapter. My first disappointment was Cassie's attitude towards her betrothed. Most of all I had hoped there would have been a better resolution between Connor, Ramsey Forbes and the whole Glen Gray affair. Maybe Ms Madl has a sequel in mind? This book left a lot of open doors. If there is a sequel, I'd certainly be interested in reading it.
