AN AMERICAN IN SCOTLAND, the third book in the
Maclain
series by Karen Ranney, is a beautifully written tale of
deceit, danger, and passion.
The story starts with Rose traveling to Scotland to sell
cotton to the Scottish branch of Maclain's family. She
desperately needs to convince Duncan Maclain to purchase
her
cotton. Since she doesn't know the Scottish family, she
hides her true identity and doesn't correct them when they
assume she is the widow of their American cousin.
Duncan Maclain's goal has been to save his inherited mill
and
his workers, while supporting his family. He doesn't have
time for
adventures or love, but one look at the beautiful Rose and
he
decides to take a risk and travel with her during the war
to
America even though he is determined to resist her beauty
and the
simmering
attraction. One kiss shows him that he loses his mind
around Rose.
So what happens when the truth comes to light, can Rose and
Duncan put away their pride and discovers their true
feeling?
Karen Ranney is a talented author, and her stories keeps
you
enthralled and fascinated. Her heroines are stubborn,
headstrong, and spirited, and even though they may deceive,
you
will love them. Her heroes are adorable, strong and
gentlemen. Her villain are...well there are words for her
villains.
AN AMERICAN IN SCOTLAND is a wonderful Scottish tale of two
stubborn people with pride and love for their family. Rose
is one of those heroines who puts herself in danger to
protect her family and slaves, and Duncan puts himself in
danger because of Rose, who has the kindest heart. AN
AMERICAN IN SCOTLAND
is a story of danger, secrets, lies and passion with
great plot. I highly recommend this Scottish romance.
