Nora Roberts has created a wonderfully romantic love story set against the backdrop of Scotland's doomed Jacobite rebellion.
Coll MacGregor, eldest son of the MacGregor clan laird, returns from Paris with his closest friend Brigham Langston, earl Ashburn, an English nobleman. Coll and Brigham are Jacobites, as is the MacGregor family, who are willing to risk all to put their Stuart King back on the throne of Scotland and England. The two men travel together to Scotland to meet and gather the clans in preparation for the arrival of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and war.
Coll MacGregor, eldest son of the MacGregor clan laird, returns from Paris with his closest friend Brigham Langston, earl Ashburn, an English nobleman. Coll and Brigham are Jacobites, as is the MacGregor family, who are willing to risk all to put their Stuart King back on the throne of Scotland and England. The two men travel together to Scotland to meet and gather the clans in preparation for the arrival of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and war.
When they reach the MacGregor home in the Highlands, Brigham is prepared to meet Coll's family, but he is taken totally unaware by the vibrant, hot tempered Serena MacGregor, Coll's eldest sister. Sparks fly and tempers flare, as Serena makes her views known about all Englishmen, and Brig, the 'Sassenach,' in particular. As war plans are fleshed out, Brig and Serena fall in lust and then in love. The characters are terrific, and the mixture of humor and intensity, with the historical background, make for a winning combination.
The secondary characters, the MacGregor clan, its retainers, and Brigham's valet really add to the novel and make the story come to life. They each have their own tale to tell and their presence does much more than act as filler between the chapters where Serena and Brig interact.
"Rebellion" is an absorbing light read. If you are a fan of historical fiction, and/or Scottish romance, as I am, that is definitely a plus. ENJOY!!

This was a fabulous book.I,ll admit to being a bit hesitant reading a historical book from Nora Roberts who is one of my all time favourite contemporay authors. Was I very pleasantly suprised.
The details were so precise and again the story caught me up just as every book I,ve read by her does, whether she writes of magic or tough new york cops this woman is just amazing.The description of the battle at Culloden brought tears to my eyes but Serena,s nasty temper and wit had me laughing out loud.
This was such a wonderful introduction to the Macgregors I,m going to read them all again with fresh insight to all the characters.If you,re a Nora fan you will love this book

I read "Rebellion" when it was first published ( about oh, 8 years ago?) and loved it. It was a wonderful look at the beginnings of Clan MacGregor, and Serena and Brigham are great characters. Highly recommended, even for readers unfamiliar with Nora's Clan MacGregor series.

Not as good as the rest of the MacGregors.
"Rebellion" was a historical romance and since historical books are my least favorite, I gave it a 3. Read more

FANTASTIC! ANOTHER MACGREGOR HIT!!

Very Historically Correct!
This is the first Nora Roberts book that I have read, thus the first of the MacGregor's series. I have read other books written by Marsha Canham called "Pride of Lions"... Read more

Too Predictable!
The character of Serena MacGregor never is fully developed, she spends too much time waiting for Brigham. Read more

Best of the MacGregor Stories!
I have read all of the MacGregor Saga. I found the characters in this to be very well developed. I found it hard to put down! The heroine is firey but extremely likeable.
