Return of the Rogue


 


Synopsis:


Marriage was her only means of escape . . .

Though Honora Tannach came of age amid the misty moors of the Scottish highlands, where warring clans battled to the death for the future of their wild land, nothing frightens her so much as a lifetime trapped in the castle of her cruel stepfather. She is thrilled when a marriage is arranged to the son of a Scottish laird . . . until her betrothed is revealed to be Cavan Sinclare. Though the savage warrior once saved her life, Honora knows no one can tame the heart of such a brute, no matter now finely chiseled his features or how enticing his eyes . . . .

After escaping his captors, Cavan's only concern is protecting his clan from the menacing invaders who threaten at every turn—and his beautiful wife is a dangerous distraction. But in the face of fiery passion, their reluctance will fade . . . and Cavan will discover that there is no greater strength than the power of true love.
 

SRR GRADE:  A+
 

Donna Fletcher’s new release, Return of the Rogue, is a truly wonderful historical romance.  The characters are so completely engaging and the plot flows smoothly from page to page, this is a book not to be missed.  I can honestly say that Return of the Rogue is my favorite Donna Fletcher book to date. 

Honora Tannach can’t wait to leave her abusive stepfather’s castle.  Lucky for her, her stepfather is marrying her to the heir of the Sinclair clan, Atair.  There is a contract between the two fathers saying that Honora is to marry the next heir, and since that man, Caven, may be dead, the title will fall into Atair’s hands.  But lo and behold, Caven is indeed alive and manages to show up right on the day of Honora’s and Atair’s wedding.  Since he is the rightful heir of the Sinclair clan, he has found himself married to Honora, instead of his brother. 


Caven and Honora must honor the contract that was agreed upon between the two families.  Honora is apprehensive about being with Caven.  She remembers when he saved her life as a young girl and now that she is a woman, she sees the power he holds in his hand but she also notices how handsome he is.  What I loved most about this book was seeing how Caven and Honora’s relationship grow during the course of the story.  They are both wonderful characters and it was so easy to fall in love with both of them.

It wasn’t only Caven and Honora that kept the story flowing smoothly; the secondary characters play an integral role and they captured my heart, as well.   Donna Fletcher wrote the kind of book that I can easily read again and again.

 

Return of the Rogue is a heartwarming romance.  I can’t wait to read more from this extremely talented author!
