4.0 out of 5 stars The McKenzie saga continues..., Jun 27 2003

By	janlouise (Ruston, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rebel (Paperback)

Ian McKenzie arrives home for a short visit from fighting on the Union side during the Civil War. At the beginning of his visit with his family he finds himself in a compromising position with a friend of the family's daughter, Alaina McMann, and to save her reputation and embarrassment to the 2 families he carries her off to be married. There is definitely attraction there and could grow to be a strong love but their strong opposing views of the war get in the way. Ian goes off to serve the Union side while Alaina begins participating in a smuggling ring for the Confederacy- and they clash each time they come together. Ian is handsome, strong and protective of Alaina while serving his devotion to the Union cause. He meets his match when he discovers that the Confederate spy he is working at capturing is non-only his own Alaina (this is revealed to the reader at the beginning of the book). The reader learns how Ian gets Alaina out of such a mess. Is their new love strong enough to survive such a test? And will Ian beable to save Alaina from the rope? They hang spies, you know! I enjoyed it. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rebel -Another tale in the lives of the McKenzie clan, Sep 5 2001

By	Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rebel (Paperback)

"Rebel" spins the story of Ian McKenzie and Alaina. Although not as much spice as "Captive," I enjoyed this book too.

Alaina was a tough and spirited Southerner loyal to the cause and Ian chose to join the Union's side. Although their views were different, their paths crossed and their lives were changed forever when they were caught "in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Ian and Alaina are wedded and not in love at first, but as time passes, their love grows. However, where there is love, sometimes the pain comes along as well. Their love is no exception, especially during this time of war. Through it all, their love has to stand the test of time, war, betrayal, jealousy, as well as many other obstacles. Both Ian and Alaina have others in their lives vying for their love and to destroy the love that is shared between them. Will Ian and Alaina's new found love be enough to suffice and keep them together through the hardships they must endure? "Rebel" is worth reading to find out what is in store for these two courageous individuals.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed!, Oct 12 2000

By	Amy Fagley (Charleston, South Carolina USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rebel (Paperback)

As a fan of Mrs. Graham I hate to say this but the book was a true mess! Having just read "Captive" I was so excited to begin this book and found that the magic found within "Captive" had all but disappeared. Having set the foundation with her first two books I expected to have a hardheaded and determined hero but what I found here was a angry, self important character who seemed to think that rape is a normal and healthy part of a marriage. In almost every sex scence (won't use the word love because that would be offensive)he was a brute and took what he wanted often finishing and leaving as soon as the deed was done. I found Alaina to be a strong character but was baffled that such a herione could come to "love" such an uncaring leading man. Throughout most of the book he was remorseful over the loss of his intended bride and constantly reminded that she was the perfect woman for him. Though I do like it when a author shakes up the plot a bit I did not care for his inner struggle as to wether or not to sleep with his ex. There seemed to be no true loyalty to his wife and he he declared his love it sounded hollow, self serving and filled with regret. This was not romantic and the leading lady deserved better. Risa (the ex-girlfriend)was also a great character which again begs an answer to the question as to why both of these women find this man so incredible. Being the first born of the new generations of McKenize's I expected to find some of the qualities of his father and uncle. Disappointed! It seemed that he was indeed a privledged child who expected that everyone should bow down to his wishes. Even the "evil" Peter didn't seem all that different from the leading man (he too attempted to molest and rape the leading lady). I have always believed in the ideas of the North during the Civil War (and I reside in Charleston, SC) but my dislike of the leading man had me cheering for the South in this particular case. This leads us to the only good thing about this book. Again Mrs. Graham seems to be able to capture both the good and bad aspects of each side of the war. I gave this book two stars because of the strong women shown and how they were introduced as participants in the war when most novels often have the women on the sidelines. Even though I feel that this was her worst I haven't given up. In this family it seems that Jerome-son of James-MY FAVORITE and Julian will be the standout in this new generation of men. I hope in the future books to see Sydney, Risa and continue to see Jennifer who is very interesting but somehow got skipped over in this series for "Ian" the spoiled brat!
