5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational. A wonderfully written romanance., 11 May 1999
By A Customer
HIGHLAND SCOUNDREL was my first read of this author. It was such a well written story I must go out and buy the rest of Ms. Greiman's titles. It is the story of a Highland lass who is a bit of a trouble maker (but it's never her fault<g>)Her father has called all the eligible men in the area to a gathering of sorts. Competing with the other lords is a mysterious DARK STRANGER, named Dugald. He says he is here to claim a bride but Shona(the heroine) thinks he is hiding something. Amiss all the Highland games and courting of Shona is the story of Dragonheart a dragon amulet. Shona and her cousins have made a vow on it and now it winds up in Shona's custody. Someone is out to hurt Shona, is it Dugald? or is it someone who wants her dead for another reason? There is a lot of suspense in the story along with a bit of magic. This is a must read.

3.0 out of 5 stars I was a bit dissappointed..., 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Beware anyone who has not read the first in this series (Highland Brides - The Lady and the Knight) or even the other 3 earlier books!!! I felt the story was brief, and did not flow smoothly. The characters would be doing one thing, and in the next paragraph doing something else...it seemed almost like a non-sequitor. Part of what feeds this problem, is that there was so little description in the story. The charaters just did things, but there was very little attention given to how they were done.

The only character in the story I felt was at all developed was our hero Dugald. Thus saying, he was developed, but the character itself was stretching the realm of realism. China and Japan were a VERY far distance in the late 1500's. Also making the reading uncomfortable was the fact that our heroine was spoiled rotten, or maybe extremely vain is a better description. There were many times I just wanted to smack her (maybe that was Ms. Greiman's intention). And even by the end of the book I found very few qualities to redeem our Shona. I don't like to bash books, because I know the authors take a lot of effort to write them, but I cannot recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good Scootish historical romance, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
In 1519, Lord Roderic MacGowan has decided it is time for his feisty daughter Shona to marry. Over her objections, he invites Scotland's finest bachelors, but she rejects all of them except for Dugald Kinnaird. Somehow, his look makes Shona forget her pledge to never marry. Dugald is on a mission to prove that Shona is a traitor.

He is willing to play the merry suitor if he can find the evidence he needs to condemn Shona. Instead, he finds himself stunned by his overwhelming need for the fiery woman. As he falls in love with her, he begins to believe in her innocence. Dugald is now determined to prove that Shona is innocent of any wrongdoing.

HIGHLAND SCOUNDREL, the second novel in Lois Greiman's "Highland Brides" mini- series, is a great historical romance that brings to vivid life the early sixteenth century Scotland in a way rarely seen in a novel. The lead protagonists are a great pair who struggle to survive in a world where treason is the norm! and political intrigue is a way of life. The secondary characters add depth to a fast-paced, warm tale that will leave genre fans clamoring for book three.
