3.0 out of 5 stars I WAS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED 10 May 2012
By L. Sims TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Mad Rob" MacLaren steals Elspeth Stewart right out from under her bridegrooms nose. His intent is revenge. Rob holds Lachlan Drummond responsible for his wife's death. He means Elspeth no harm, he wants to challenge Drummond to one to one combat.
What Rob had not realised when making his plan, is that Elspeth is a living breathing person, and her distress is his near undoing. As they journey together they start to become closer.

This started with real promise, but that did not last. I soon started to find that this story lacked any real substance. It didn't help that it contained one of my pet peeves, where either the H or h, are still in love with a dead partner. Here it was Rob's dead wife, and true to form the subject of "Rob's Fiona",reared to life constantly throughout the book. Even in the numerous sex scenes Rob's dead wife was brought up. This resulted in me never really being convinced of true love, certainly not from Rob. That being said there were some of the usual hallmarks of this authors hand in the very plentiful sex scenes. Although the story in general lacked her usual passion. All in all I was a little disapointed with this, it was only okay. I think I prefer her earlier work. The book is a collaboration between CM and another author and it shows IMO. Maybe for readers who have never read CM before this might not matter, but for those of us who are regular readers it was noticeable.

3.0 out of 5 stars I agree with the previous reviewer - this is not the CM of old. 6 Jun 2012
By ROROBLU'S MUM TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
Linda Sims has reviewed this pretty well, so I won't cover the book in detail, but I will say that IMO, it lacked the passion that CM is known for.

It felt as if the romance in this tale just happened as it's a romance novel, but I didn't feel the love, and I thought that the declarations came too soon. I didn't count the love scenes, but I did think that they were lukewarm and fewer than usual - and I did also think that they needed a few more baths before sex, after days and days on the road! Oh, and Mad Rob? Not mad enough, should have been Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know...

Overall, she's no longer an author I will buy, though I have pretty much all of her books on my Keeper shelf, but she seems to be available in my library, so I may just try out her next, due in Jul 2012, Lord Of Fire And Ice, a viking saga.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 21 Jan 2012
By K.Sie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I can only assume that most of the reviewers have never read a Connie Mason novel. I don't know if it is because she is now writing with a partner, or if Connie Mason has lost her passion for writing, but this book is a real let-down. I don't usually read romance novels, but I have made sure to read all of Connie's. I used to really look forward to the next one, but I have strong doubts that I will read any more of these partners' works.

5.0 out of 5 stars PHENOMENAL!!! 18 Jan 2012
By SKTisdale - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just finished "Sins of The Highlander" and I don't think I know enough adjectives to describe how great this book is! I couldn't put it down! It was fast paced from the first page to the last. Rob MacLaren is sexy-even if he is a bit 'etched' or 'mad'. Heroic, funny, and devilish-great combinations in a hero. And Elspeth is funny, sweet and strong and I fell in love with them both. If Amazon would let me give this book 10 stars, I would. I am going to recommend this to all of my friends. There are plenty of humorous moments, exciting "will they make it through this??" moments and lots of passion. I wouldn't recommend this to the feint of heart, but for those of us not afraid of adventure, this is definitely a great book! ;o) Keep up the most excellent work ladies!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kidnapped Heroine 24 Sep 2012
By Nita - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book has a familiar plot - the hero kidnaps the bride-to-be of the man he seeks revenge against. Elspeth Stewart's wedding ceremony to Lachlan Drummond is interrupted by "Mad Rob" McLaren as he rushes in on his horse, grabs her up, and tells her father and bridegroom they may come for her in one month. Rob aims to humiliate Drummond for his involvement in the death of his wife two years before. With all of Rob's planning, he really never considered how his kidnapped bride would react to her abduction. She does not go meekly. Right away she plots on ways to get back to her father and puts plenty of kinks in Rob's plans.

As they travel to his home, their attraction and appreciation for each other grows. Rob starts to see Elspeth beyond means to his revenge. Though innocent, she is smart and bit brassy. He also must deal with the guilt towards his dead wife because of his growing affections towards Elspeth. The more time Elspeth spends with Rob, the more she finds he is not really "mad", but devastated by the events that shortened the marriage to his wife. He, of course, very much blames himself for her death. Rob and Elspeth have some really great moments together. They are sweet and fascinating as they explored their growing affections.

The characters are generally well drawn out. I wasn't completely impressed with the bad guys, especially the one that ends up showing up in Rob's home. That person just seemed over the top evil and rude for not good enough reasons. Otherwise I enjoyed Rob and Elspeth and the people who helped them along the way.

Kidnapping for revenge is a familiar plot point, but Mason and Marlowe didn't make the story boring or predictable. The loch chapters were my favorite with some great dialogue between Rob and Elspeth and a little bit of action (in more than one way). The dreams sequences were also a lovely touch.

Mason and Marlowe also add a little supernatural element to the story. Elspeth has the Sight with unpredictable glimpses of the future. This gift ends up helping her, but then is used against her at the end. I thought they used her gift well in the story.

Overall, very well done.
