Taming The Scotsman [Mass Market Paperback]

I really liked this book. It is not my favorite by Sherri (or Kinley, if you would rather) but I will keep it, if not only to say that I have almost every book by her (except the extremely expensive htf ones) since she is one of my favorite authors. I don't know what being historically accuriate has to do with a good romance novel, but for some I know it is a pet peeve of theirs. Personally, I like Kinley's style of writing. It is always witty, humorous and enjoyable. It's a good break from other books that tend to drag on about the description of the cathedral, or dress style or whatever it is the writer is usually trying to throw in your face. Certainly I like to picture the book's contents, but that isn't what truly interests me. It's the developement between the characters. Dialogue, clashing of wills, intrigue, those are the things I like in books and Kinley has ALWAYS delivered those things to me.

I am not saying that any of her books are inaccurate, what I am saying that I wouldn't care if they are because I would enjoy them if she was touting the sky to be pink and woman were really pigs in disguise. Why? Because I like her writing. Sometimes I like her stories better than others, sometimes I don't. It all depends on what appeals to me. My favorite story may not be someone else's favorite story.

That said, let's get to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Once I got into it, I didn't want to put it down and unfortunately I had to because I had to go to work. It made me chuckle, laugh and giggle. I've started taking those sizzling love scenes in stride these days as just part of the story, but they are fun to read if that's what you're looking for in a romance novel. (And let's face it, if you read sexy romances, you're into it whether you admit it or not. Just like me, but *shhh* that's MY dirty lil secret LOL)

Nora was actually very refreshing and alot like me... chatty! I would love to find me an Ewan who adored my runaway mouth... ;-) And Ewan was understandably tortured. It's like a trademark of Kinley's. I don't know about you, but isn't it most every woman's fantasy to capture the bad boy lone wolf? The one man every woman wants for herself? I think Kinley delivers that in each of her books, and this one is no different. I also think it was a wonderful idea of hers (if not a bit predictable in a funny way) to keep us guessing about Kieran. I'm also taking bets on who Lochlan's love interest will turn out to be. I'll bet you fifty buck I already know!

Anyways, Sherri/Kinley don't let those bad reviews get to you. I love your stuff and am eagerly awaiting your next DH book... *drooling* as I await all of your books... in eager anticipation!

That is exactly what this book is -- fun. A light, fluffy read. However, though the book is enjoyable, I felt it missed the boat, maybe the story is just too light!

This is the third book in Kinley MacGregor's tales of the MacAllister highland men; and in this novel the characters are engrossing -- bubbly Eleanor "Nora" is a ray of sunshine, though she jabbers nonstop, most people appreciate her company. Ewan MacAllister is a sad man, he burdens his daily life with his brother's suicide, and many people avoid his company. "Oh, east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet." Wrong! Our Little Miss Sunshine meets Mr. Gloom and sunshine rocks his world.

This novel might have missed the proverbial boat, but the book is a comfortable read and it does continue the robust lord chronicles. Here MacGregor keeps many unanswered questions afloat and therefore, brilliantly sets up the continuation in the MacAllister legend. And guess what? This reader will buy the next segment, my only request -- a life jacket!

I have read 2 of MacGregors novels: born in sin and master of seduction, AND I found both books to be excellent!!

MacGregor has a very enticing style of writing and I find the slant on her novels very unique: that is, the men in the novels are "wounded" emotionally, and in some respects this is their story (how they manage to overcome their emotional wounds to find love). I think the 2 stories I have read are simply beautiful, and they are the kind of stories that you will read over and over again.

I have ordered this book, and am eagerly awaiting the read!!! I am expecting to love this book too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am always confused when I read reviews putting down the genre of romance, especially historical romance. If you read a romance book you should expect an emotional book; emotional books aren't "fluff".

RESPECT for this genre is direly needed; if you don't like to explore emotions don't read these types of books! And, don't insult (and the comments of these negative reviews are definitely insulting) the books, simply because you can't understand them! A little knowledge can do great harm, so unless you are quoting facts, don't bother with negative comments (NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR IT).

Kinley, I love your stories and I hope that you are not put off by these ridiculously, negative reviews! We need a whole lot more romance writers like you!

My thanks for your wonderful novels so far, Kristina
