MacKinnon's Rangers
Major Connor MacKinnon despises his commander, Lord William Wentworth, beyond all other men. Ordered to rescue Wentworth's niece after the Shawnee take her captive, he expects Lady Sarah Woodville to be every bit as arrogant and contemptible as her uncle. Instead, he finds a brave and beautiful lass in desperate peril. But the only way to free Sarah is for Connor to defeat the Shawnee warrior who kidnapped her—and claim her himself.
Torn by tragedy from her sheltered life in London, Lady Sarah is unprepared for the harshness of the frontier—or for the attraction she feels toward Connor as he guides her first through the consummation of their forced union and then through the dangers of the wilderness. When they reach civilization, however, it is she who must protect him. For if her uncle knew all that Connor had done to save her, he would surely kill him.
But the flames of passion, once kindled, are difficult to deny. As desire transforms into love, Connor will have to defy an empire to keep Sarah at his side.

My Thoughts:
Pamela Clare's MacKinnon's Ranger trilogy is the kind of story I could read over and over again!
Full of adventure, danger, history, and passionate romance, the exiled Highlander brothers of Iain, Morgan, and Connor will stay with me for a long, long time (like Jamie and Clare). While the plot of Defiant followed the same pattern as Surrender and Untamed (the story of two unlikely people thrown together by fate), Connor's story touched my heart as it brought together characters from the past and gave closure to the MacKinnon brothers' plight. Pamela Clare's ability to recreate the wild and untamed land of early colonial America and her love and respect for the Native American culture is such an exciting part of the series. Her characters are so well drawn that they literally leap off the page. Very, very sexy, too!
Loved all the books in this series! I also have reviewed Surrender (my personal favorite) and Untamed. Highly recommend.
4.5/5 stars

Wow....sounds like my type of book!
I just finished it this morning and loved it! It reminded me a lot of Surrender (a good thing!) and I'm giving it the same rating as you. I found it hard to put down, literally waking up in the middle of the night to read it on my ipod kindle in the wee hours! Exciting, historically interesting, sexy, I was riveted to the storyline - bring on the next one! I wonder who it will be about? Joseph or William?
Carol Rae - Hope you enjoy it. It's hot!
Julie -- I would love Joseph's story! I loved the brotherhood relationship with Connor and Joseph and would love to see Joseph get his own soulmate. Sorry to see this series end.
