Tess MalloryRezensionen

Honestly, I was bored at first. But as the story progressed, I finally can't just put down the book. I especially love Kendra's practical character and how she is so a woman in the story. She is strong-willed and most of the time reckless. Nevarre, is okay although I laughed at his reaction towards Kendra when he finds that he couldn't get rid of her image. I'll give this story of a damsel in distress and a knight in tarnished armor a 5 out of 5. It's just unique and pretty funny for a first book of Tess Mallory that I've read. I can't wait to read more!

The Highland Rebel is one Ian MacGregor, hot Celtic music pop idol whose music, and looks, tend to make women swoon. Ellie (Eleanor) Graham is his Goth clothed tour manager. What Ellie doesn't know is that Ian time traveled from the year 1711 to the current year. During one of his concerts Ellie realizes she's in love with Ian but a past hurt causes her to block out her feelings for him.When Ellie accidentally travels back three centuries, Ian follows to save her and they both end up engaged in the trials of highland life during the Jacobite era. Ian finds himself torn between the life he had and changing the outcome of a rough future for his kinsmen.One of the more humorous quotes in the book happens while Ellie is clueless to the fact that she has time travelled to the 18th century: "Ian" Ellie said, "let's just get out of here!! These guys think they're on the set of Braveheart or something!!" Highland Rebel was an enjoyable read. Highlanders, kilts, romance and time travel. Definitely my kinda thing.

I read a lot of romances, but this one was just ridiculous! It began as a Scottish highlander romance time travel story, with the hero, Griffin, traveling from 1602 Scotland to present day Scotland. Then, once he's in present day it spirals down and becomes a modern day Texas romance, and then it spins off to become a 1880's Texas cowboy romance! Sheesh!

I enjoyed reading Tess Mallory's time travel books. It's been several years since she's published a new one so I was thrilled to pick up "Highland Rogue", her latest and (I hope) the start of a new series.

Maggie is finally going to live her dream. She's been accepted as a worker bee on an archaeological dig IN SCOTLAND! When the dig leader offers to show her an ogham, she accompanies him to an ancient cairn where she actually trips over what turns out to be a stunning find...a huge carving in the stone floor of a tri-spiral or triskele. That night, unable to sleep, she visits the cairn alone, walks the triskele, and repeats the words on the ogham. The next thing she knows, she's apparently traveled back in time...to 1711!

Quinn, also known as the bandit Piper who robs the rich to help his downtrodden countrymen, is fleeing a successful robbery with his blood brother when a woman appears from nowhere and causes his friend to be shot and captured. He decides to use her guilt to help him free his friend. Once his friend is free, she can go her own way...and good riddance...really...ummm, maybe?

This is a fun, laughter-filled read that will have you cheering for these two as they bicker and battle their way into a warm, then passionate, relationship. If you like braw Highlanders in kilts and laughter...pick up this latest by Ms Mallory. I'm glad I did!
