Highlander's Rebellious Love (Macinnes Sisters Trilogy)

I have a list of authors which I consider my treasures, and this author, Donna Fletcher, is on this list. What this means is that if an author is on this list I auto buy the releases as soon as they become available. They are added to my keeper read and reread shelf. Donna Fletcher is one of the best authors a reader will have the honor of reading, in my opinion. Her past releases includes stand alone titles, duos, and trilogies, of which I have read. Her latest release of Highlander’s Rebellious Love, book 2 of the Macinnes Sister’s Trilogy, following The Highlander’s Stolen Heart, doesn’t in any way disappoint and will join the others on my keeper shelf. The trilogy tells the story of three sisters, Emma, Patience, and Heather, who are very close and entwined with each other’s lives. The first book, The Highlander’s Stolen Heart tells Emma’s story. This release of Highlander’s Rebellious Love tells Patience’s story. Patience, whose personality is defined by anything other than her name, is a strong minded confident lady who has been trained all her life as a warrior and the future leader of the clan. Instead of possessing skills for cooking, sewing, or running the inside of a keep, she is highly skilled and talented with various weapons and is considered the leader of the clan warriors. Whenever problems or disputes arise among the clan or surrounding clans, it is Patience who travels to resolve the problem. With one sister missing and anxious to find her, marriage and love or interest in the opposite sex is the last thing on her mind, and any problems detracting her search must be handled quickly. It is while investigating such a dispute between two neighboring clans that Patience meets Hunter, a third son and brother of the evil power hungry, will do anything to turn the tides to his favor, laird of the McLaud clan. The dispute over land stemming from the McLaud clan is very large well planned and possibly could turn into a blood spilling war. Hunter, although a smooth talking, very handsome, hunk of a highlander ladies man, he is still a strong, powerful, and feared highland warrior. Within minutes of their meeting he presents Patience with his solution to the problem between the clans, marriage to this lady warrior. As it is discovered a forced marriage seems the only possible solution, although Patience demands her specific stipulations be met, and not many warriors would be willing to meet her demands. This book is filled with unexpected hot steamy passion between Patience and Hunter, disagreements, mystery, laughter, tenderness, strength, and eventually trust beyond question. I highly recommend this book and anything else written by Donna Fletcher. This installment can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading The Highlander’s Stolen Heart first as characters and mysteries continue from the first into the second book. This is yet another book that has found a home on my keeper shelf. I can’t wait for Heather’s story and the third book in the trilogy!!!!

I have really enjoyed this series so far and eagerly await book 3 in the series. I do appreciate it takes time to write and publish books but there does seem to be a long wait between books which I find frustrating when I want to find out what happens in the story. The three sisters all play an important role in the story and I can't wait to find out why the Dark Dragon wanted to hold Heather captive and what happened during her time away. Donna always writes a good book and I would recommend her books to anyone who likes a good historical Highland read.

Patience MacInnes and Hunter McLaud's story was even better than book 1, and I loved book 1. Patience is the Warrior Sister. She is smart and brilliant in the art of clan warfare. Her sister Heather is still missing and the Dark Dragon has held her captive, Patience wants nothing more than to continue her search, but her father needs her to do something else. She is to go uphold the peace and settle a dispute amongst the McLauds and others without war. When she arrives she witnesses a lusty handsome man with a woman from a cottage and her escort informs her he is the youngest of the McLaud brothers, the consummate rogue, who has a different woman every week. Hunter McLaud is the known handsome rogue. His older brother is a viper and when his brother has a malicious plan...he has one of his own that will involve the skinny woman he sees. Patience and Hunter will have quite a journey. I loved this story, the suspense, the hot love scenes and the story itself. I still gave it a 5 even though I did find an error about the storyline. I look forward to book 3, it is too bad we have to wait for a whole year.

Wow , another fabulous read in the Macinnes sister series , this time it is Patience ,who by the way is a fine warrior and is pretty sure she will not lose her heart to any man oh boy is she in for the shock of her life when she meets Hunter McLaud , lots of danger, suspense , murder and love scenes and trying to prevent a clan war, not going to say more ,just pick up this book, i loved it , can't wait to read THE DARK DRAGON, thanks Donna for another great read.

Hunter is the 3rd son of clan MacLaud and he is known as a ladies man. Patience is the second daughter of the MacInnes clan and she is a warrior. When her father sends her to clan MacLaud to end a dispute she soon realizes that it was a trap. To thwart his brother Greer’s plan to start a clan war, Hunter secretly proposes to Patience to join the two clans. However, that may not be enough, this is an action packed story with betrayal, deception, mystery, abduction, ghost warriors, secrets, and unexpected love. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Patience makes a much better heroine than Emma. Even Hunter is better than Rogan. Because you know and expect Hunter to take the second place behind Patience, who is the alpha here. A bit too alpha, like the famous Amazons, but still better than Emma whose stubbornness had no rhyme or reason. Patience is a warrior par excellence, so much so that throughout the book, every character pays homage to her skills. Over and over again. It's ridiculous, but I didn't expect much from the author after reading the last book. She is so complete in herself, in fact, that she needs a man solely for sex. She makes all the right decisions, does all the work, fights all the fights, wins all the wars, is utterly fearless, and also beautiful, slim, soft skinned, with lovely hair and enchanting smile. A bit antithetical, but I believe the author thrives on the ridiculous. She is so intent on making the three sisters superior to everyone around that she forgets to concentrate on writing. There are absolutely no details in either of the books. Patience is a warrior, and on a horse for almost the entire book, but we don't know what kind, gender, or even the name. They travel for months without encountering sea, or any known city. There are no names for the countless woods they come across, fishes turn up for meals almost magically with no mention of a stream or river nearby. A stream is mentioned only because the lead pair had to get naked and our Amazon has to get a taste of what her manwife can do to her. Plaids are mentioned, because it's Scotland, but no mention of any color. The Dark Dragon holds a lot of land, but his neighbors don't really know about it. And because it's Scotland, every clan name begins with Mc, but no other detail is ever provided. And trust me, all this and still it is better than the first one. The sisters are so close to each other, the husbands are reduced to bystanders in their own marriages, with pregnant women not sharing the news of their pregnancy with the husband because they want to travel up and down the country whenever they want for the missing sister. I really think the sisters should've married each other and kept a few men as sex slaves, because they are nymphos, the both of them. It's amazing how many pages this author can fill with her juvenile writing. Now it's like a train wreck for me...I just can't help but read this to the finish. Because while the writing is ridiculous, the plot is good. I wish a better author had handled this plot.

I got interested in this series from the Lord of the Isles books which included the first one from this series. Patience sometimes tried my patience. LOL I like her but she sometimes doesn't think before she reacts which can be frustrating. I feel if she wants to be taken seriously and she someday wants to lead her clan she will need to get a better head on her shoulders. Maybe grow up a little. Either way I enjoyed the book.

I loved Hunter McLaud, I think he has to be my new book boyfriend, he's a charming rogue who has a different woman just about every night of the week, but he also had a very caring and loving heart. And Patience Macinnes was like a warrior princess, in charge of army of warriors, determined to find the Dark Dragon, an evil and dangerous warrior thought to be responsible for kidnapping her sister Heather. She is asked to go north by her father to settle a land dispute between the Macinnes and the McLaud. When she arrives Hunter McLaud suggest marriage between them would be the best solution to unite the clans. Patience is not too happy with about it but agrees. The bickering and banter between the couple is wonderful, but they can't ignore their feelings in the end, and the passion between them can't denied. This was a great romance full of action and desire. I'm looking forward to Heather's story next.

Awesome read

This was an ok read for me. I had some problems with the heroine who was too masculine for my taste, making the hero look weak, as much as the author tried to depict him as virile. Other than that the story-line didn't blow me away. Nothing memorable.

Love it. I really like it when the female character has so much character. A strong, resourceful woman who can stand on her own 2 feet.

My Granny as the whole series for books she says the storylines are very good. So If like Highlanders like my granny this books is most get in her eyes

If you enjoy romance and adventure, then you will enjoy this series as much as I did.
