Highland Scoundrel (Campbell Trilogy #3)

The last and best of this series; the writer does it again. Monica McCarty certainly has the gift of writing leading us into a romantic, thrilling, story.

Best of the series; it is just great reading, escaping into the Highlands of Scotland and its characters. Recommend it highly

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED THIS ONE!!!!

Once again Monica McCarty never dissappoints. I must say for myself that out of this series, Highland Warrior, Highland Outlaw, and Highland Scoundrel that this one was my absolute favourite! I loved Duncan and Jeannie's characters, the story has so much depth to it with twists and turns that keeps you enthralled. Once I started this book I COULD NOT put it down until I was done. I highly recommend this book, can be read without the others but it is so much better if you do read the others cause it all falls into place....

Loved it!!

No matter that a brutal war is brewing for Duncan's clan or that Jeannie is secretly being betrothed to another man by her father, they meet at Stirling Castle and within two weeks fall madly in love and hope to fight the odds to stay together. Unfortunately, their last rendezvous leads to a treacherous mistake that both regret for years to come. Since that fateful night, the two have been separated with no contact for ten years. Now, Duncan has returned with a new reputation of being the "Black Highlander" of Ireland and Jeannie is back on the marriage market with kept secrets of her own. Can they overcome their past mistakes and find the truth that both desperately seek?

Considering this is the first book I've read by McCarty, I was presently surprised with Highland Scoundrel and thoroughly enjoyed the story full of historical facts and fun romance. It has some nice plot twist that I wasn't expecting and as soon as I really got into the story . . . I couldn't put it down. Their innocent infatuation when they first meet was sweet, but their intense passion upon meeting up ten years years later was smoldering. I got so caught up in the emotions of it all, that before I knew it - it was 3 am and I was still reading. Signs of a great book!

I haven't read a nice highlander story in quite awhile and once I saw the blurb on the back of this one - "If your heart belongs to the Highlands, then don't miss these novels" - I got suckered right in. Silly, right? Yet, I'm glad I did! After finishing Highland Scoundrel, I found I read Book #3 in the trilogy first. Oops! So, I guess I'll be working my way backwards since in my TBR pile is book #2, Highland Outlaw.

Likes: How Duncan would stand up for Jeannie, no matter how horribly disgruntled they were with each other. Always a joy reading about a true gent, especially one that's a highlander . . . yum!

Dislikes: About the story - The blunt reminder that women held such little power over their lives in the early 1600s of Scotland. Poor Jeannie! About the book itself - I found some editing mistakes (duplicate words) within the first chapter of the book, catching misprints like that while reading really messes up my feeling of getting "lost" in a tale.

Great ending to a series!

I loved this series...starting with Highland Warrior, Outlaw and now Scoundrel, they just kept getting better. This book could be read alone without reading the other two but the stories just flow so well into one another. Duncan is definitely my favorite. The story line keeps you reading to find out what will happen next. Will be adding this author to my favs list.
