    About this audiobook

    Her greatest love…with her worst enemy

    Scotland, 1745: the Battle of Culloden looms in the near future as Scottish forces, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, attempt to overthrow the English monarchy and restore the House of Stuart to the throne. Serena MacGregor, the fiery daughter of the powerful MacGregor clan laird, despises Englishmen and all they stand for. So when her brother returns home with his gallant friend Brigham Langston, an English ally, Serena knows the man can't be trusted.

    All it takes is one look at his friend's ravishing red-haired sister, and Brigham is captivated. But the hot-tempered beauty makes no secret of her hatred for him, and spurns his advances with a rapier-sharp tongue. As the danger escalates, though, Serena's passionate anger soon melts into desire…

      Although the MacGregor Series is not new, it is timeless, beautiful, & addictive. I adored every single book in this series - I’ve read the series at least 4 times & listened to the series 2-3 more times! I also love that the books do not contain lengthy, repetitive, & mechanical sex scenes, as too many ‘Romance’ books/series have become. Instead, the books in this series are truly
      ‘Romance Novels.’

      Serena MacGregor, who looks like an angel but is a wildcat, falls in love with an English nobleman and fights her attraction.During the attanpt to restore the Stuarts Bonnie Prince Cgarlie to the throne of England they become a couple and deal with the hardships of war.

      Rebellion by Nora Roberts is part of the MacGregor series. I understand that one can read this series one of two ways. By the timeline of in the order the books were published. I was advised to read the series by the timeline. So, I started here with Rebellion.We start off in 1700's Scotland. A Rebellion is brewing. Lord Brigham an English Lord (Earl) makes an alliance with Coll MacGregor. They travel to Scotland where Lord Brigham meets Coll's hot tempered sister, Serena. Serena hates the English for a pretty good reason. So, she hates how attracted she is to the English Earl. She fights the attraction to the point of misery. Brigham doesn't play fair of course. There is much more to this story than the romance. The Rebellion is brutal, and the war/battle scenes are a big part of the story as well. However, for me personally, I felt like that part took too much space in the book. I do read many historical romances and war is usually a backdrop. Scotland, England, and France in war or civil war or something, so I can understand some battle scenes, but I hate war and battle so I was ready for that part to be over. But, it was necessary in a way because we needed to know how Brig and Serena came to leave their homeland. I loved Serena's attitude, even her temper which was hilarious at times. I was picturing the proper English Lord dealing with her . There was much laughter, but also many tears and hard times. I am looking forward to following this family into the present day.

      Oh how I loved this book! Well written! Kept me wanting more! I wander if there is an sequence to this Book? I want to read the next one!
    • 3/5
      It is obvious that it is one of Nora Roberts' earlier books. Good voice, but clearly an '80s book. I did not like Serena. I also didn't like the way she was arguing with Brigham all the time - she came across as immature and selfish - plus that all of a sudden they are 'in love' and everything falls flat. The story goes on to tell of the preparations for war, the war, the aftermath; no character/relationship development, no romance in the last 1/5th or so. IMO one of the lesser NRs.
    • 3/5
      I have to say, this is the first Nora Roberts book that didn't really grate on me. Similarly, I'd have to check my notes but it is also a highlander romance that didn't get all bogged down in the mystical side of Scotland and make me hate the characters for all their time-traveling selfishness...I'd also like to point out this is the first pre-2000 book (I think!) that I've actually liked at all.


      It was nice to read about an English man and a Scottish woman also. I might even be tempted to continue on this series to see how the fam makes it home again or whatever it is they end up doing


      Based on the fact I'll never reread-it's just a 3.

      A fiesty woman who isn't afraid to punch, kick, yell, scratch, and yes, bite. I love a heroine with a little attitude! Isn't this what every man in the 1700's wants? I don't care what anyone says, I believe most men, even today's men, are enticed by a challenge, and taming a hell-cat is certainly a task. The highlands of Scotland is the setting for this historical romance, one filled with desire, hatred, love and war. Bringham Langston, the fourth Earl of Ashburn, is a wealthy Englishman, yet his true loyalties lie with the Scottish cause. Serena MacGregor is a true Scot....loyal to those she loves and passionate about her people and their history. Her hatred of all things English began when she was only a child and watched her mother attacked by a band of Redcoats. When Serena's brother brings home the handsome Bringham, he is stunned by her beauty and her sharp tongue. Bringham's noble title and dedication to Scotland does nothing to hinder her loathing of his heritage. But Bringham is not a man easily discouraged. He is determined to fight not only for Scotland and the bonnie Prince Charles, but also for the love of the beautiful and fiesty Serena MacGregor. I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy read set in a time and place I love. Love, sex, war, battles, and yes, men on horses and in kilts! I enjoyed the banter between Bringham and Serena and the way she made his pursuit of her a difficult one, although she did let him kiss her without much of a fight! The attraction between the main characters is undeniable from the start, with some extremely steamy scenes that will cause you to have a sudden urge for a cigarette! Here is a quick excerpt for your enjoyment: "He found it almost unbearably arousing to have her inexperienced hands undress him. With his eyes closed he traced kisses over her brow, her temples, her jaw, while his body tensed and hardened from the hesitant movements of her fingers. It was torture of the most exquisite kind. He realized that he was moving slowly not only for Serena and her innocence but for himself. Every instant, every heartbeat they shared here would be remembered."(pg. 230) Having read several other historical romances of this period, this novel focused more on the romance and less on the battles and plight of the Scottish for their independence. But if your looking for a good summer romance, this is the book for you.
