Highland Rogue

By Arnette Lamb

Book Overview

Juliet White, an indentured servant from Virginia, travels across the sea to the castle of Lachlan Mackenzie searching for the daughter of her deceased sister, but finds much more than her niece while visiting Scotland in this historical romance that inspired the celebrated Clan MacKenzie trilogy.After leaving her life as a servant in America, Juliet White finds herself at the castle of Lachlan Mackenzie, the duke of Ross, where she is taken in as the governess for the lusty aristocrat's four illegitimate daughters--one of which may be the daughter of her dead sister, whom she left Virginia in search of. Desperate to know if her niece is among the duke's children, Juliet seeks information about his notorious family, all while the young girls, each in their own fashion, begin to find a place in her heart. But Lachlan is not the type of man to let a beautiful young woman keep her innocence under his roof, with his charm undeniably stirring Juliet's girlish dreams into a woman's desires. Stunned to find herself falling for the virile charm of the man suspected of seducing her sister, and powerless in resisting the wild rush of yearning, Juliet plunges into a river of passion whose waters might be too turbulent to carry her to a safe shore.

An Entertaining Story

There's no question in my mind, Arnette Lamb is (was) one of the best writers on Medieval Scotland. I've read them all and none can match her talent. All of Lamb's books reveal a vivid imagination, strong writing skills, and great entertainment. "Highland Rouge" is sensual, exciting, heart warming and truly entertaining. Lachlan is a wonderful character with multiple dimensions, being not only a consummate lover of women, but a lover and protector of wee lassies as well. Juilet was well developed and a perfect match for him. The competition between Lachlan and the sheriff towards the end of the book made me laugh, and I like that. A fun story, different from the usual stuff, and totally entertaining. I've bought all of Lamb's titles and was waiting for her next one, when I learned that she had died. I thank her for her great talent, and the many, many hours of pleasure she has offered me through her works, and hope that she finds herself back in Scotland once again.

An All-Time Favorite! Absolutely Great!

This has to be one of the best romance books I've ever read. I absolutely loved Lachlan and Juliet. How sexy he was! And both were so appealing, so beautiful, smart, and very dedicated to Lachlan's daughters. And what a wonderful plot! One of the reasons I loved this book - there was always something intense happening ... in every chapter, every page, every paragraph, every sentence, every word!! But having read TRUE HEART first, I couldn't help thinking of the heartache Lachlan and Juliet would come to endure in a few years with their daughter Virginia. That hardly seemed fair to these wonderful parents.I will truly miss this wonderful author's work!

A truly captivating book

I loved this book as much as all the other A.L. books. I could not put this one down.

A Highland Rogue he is, but a great father.

Lachlan is the type of rogue that you really want to domesticate. But it is not to hard to see that he loves his lassies. Juliet has her job cut out for her, not only in finding her sisters daughter but in tameing Lachlan. It was a very fun read. It is on my shelf with the rest of Ms. A.L.'s book as a favorite to go back to again and again.

I loved it!

I found this book to be very enjoyable. It was funny! I laughed at the naughty play on words throuhout the book. It was also a sweet story. I imagine that I will read this one again, also the stories about the girls.
