5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining 12 Sep 2010
By Jo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed the characters and storyline. I like stories with a strong heroine and Jane Purefoy was definitely a strong character. McGoldrick does a wonderful job in bringing Jane's personality and character to life. I also enjoyed Nicholas' character. It's nice to have a break were the male character isn't a rogue or rake, but actually starts out with a heart.

I came across this book and was so caught up in it, I finished it in 6 hours. Now I must find food since I haven't stopped for basic needs since I picked it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rebel by Nikoo and James McGoldrick writing as May McGoldrick 30 April 2009
By Ketzel - Published on Amazon.com
The Rebel is the second and final book of the Rebel Promise set. It tells the story of Englishman Sir Nicholas Spencer, who was introduced in the first book, The Promise (Rebecca and Stanmore's story). The Rebel begins in London in December 1770 as the Stanmores are about to celebrate their first Christmas together, then moves to Cork, Ireland the following year where Nicholas first encounters the Irish Rebel, Egan. It is late August, and Nicholas is traveling with his mother and sister to Woodfield House to visit the home of an Englishwoman, Clara, daughter of Sir Thomas Purefoy and quite suitable to be his wife. He is resigned to his need to marry, both because he needs an heir, and because a wife is required if he is to fulfill his desire to establish and manage a shelter for the orphaned street children of London. On the road he comes across the frantic secretary of the local bishop who announces the bishop has been abducted by the rebel Shanavests. Nicholas sneaks up on the scene, and wrestles with the rebel leader, punching him in the mouth and freeing the bishop. Nicholas unmasks the rebel to reveal ... a bewitching lass who, unknown at that moment to Nicholas, is Jane Purefoy, Clare's older sister. Jane is not a suitable woman to wed Nicholas, her reputation forever ruined by her love affair with an Irish rebel who died on the gallows for his crimes. Needless to say, Nicholas and Jane's first meeting is not their last ... you'll need to read the book to learn the rest of the story! I found both Nicholas' and Jane's compassion and efforts on behalf of the poor and maltreated to be heartwarming ... this is a story of a strong heroine and a truly noble man. I gave it four stars. Like most romances, the ending comes a bit too quickly and it wraps up just a tad too neatly, but I think you'll enjoy the exciting ride in this well-written, historically accurate tale. I also highly recommend the first book in the set, The Promise, and think while both stories definitely stand alone, your enjoyment will be enhanced by reading both, in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars MY KIND OF HERO! 9 Jun 2003
By Leiya - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Before you read this book, be sure to read "THE PROMISE" first otherwise the surprise in store in that book will be exposed in "THE REBEL".

I've always have a penchant for rebel stories and this noblelady disguised as a rebel is one of my favourites.

Sir Nicholas Spencer was on his way to Ireland for a holiday at the invitation of an acquaintance, Sir Thomas Purefoy, when he came to the aid of the victims of a highway robbery. His interference brought him face-to-face with the rebel leader, Egan - and instead of a ruffian, Nicholas found himself gazing upon the beautiful face of a woman and was instantly smitten.

Egan later turned out to be none other than Jane Purefoy, the elder daughter of Sir Thomas. Jane's haunting past shadowed her life and shaped her future after a tragic event in her youth catapulted her into outlawness.

It is refreshing to note that this story is written mostly from Nicholas's viewpoint. Compassionate and protective, Nicholas has to be the strongest hero character ever written by May McGoldrick todate. Characters from "THE PROMISE" are also prominently featured with further developments in this book.

What with one hair-raising incident after another, combined with a suitably nasty and persistent villain dogging Egan's footsteps, "THE REBEL" prove to be a very exciting read indeed.
