Summary: Not MacGregor's Finest Hour
Review: The MacAllister lineage continues. In his desolate cave, survives the lonely, guilt-ridden Ewan MacAllister who fears no man only his guilty conscience. A vigorous warrior, who cherishes his mother, enjoys strumming music, and finally encounters the delightful Eleanor ingen Alexander of Canmore -- a little chatterbox. Here lies the story of a pleasing imp who innocently brings our hunk to his knees -- all in the name of fun reading. That is exactly what this book is -- fun. A light, fluffy read. However, though the book is enjoyable, I felt it missed the boat, maybe the story is just too light! This is the third book in Kinley MacGregor's tales of the MacAllister highland men; and in this novel the characters are engrossing -- bubbly Eleanor "Nora" is a ray of sunshine, though she jabbers nonstop, most people appreciate her company. Ewan MacAllister is a sad man, he burdens his daily life with his brother's suicide, and many people avoid his company. "Oh, east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet." Wrong! Our Little Miss Sunshine meets Mr. Gloom and sunshine rocks his world. This novel might have missed the proverbial boat, but the book is a comfortable read and it does continue the robust lord chronicles. Here MacGregor keeps many unanswered questions afloat and therefore, brilliantly sets up the continuation in the MacAllister legend. And guess what? This reader will buy the next segment, my only request -- a life jacket!

Summary: Can I please give this book 20 stars!!!!!
Review: This book is a wonderful addition to the MacAllister series! I cant believe that I bought Born in Sin because I was bored and it looked entertaining and this has become my favorite series of all time!!!! The relationship that grows between Ewan and Nora is beautiful and I am so glad that she is a strong heroine. I get so tired of some of the other authors that I read writing about spoiled, ridiculous heroines. This book was refreshing and yet it stayed right in with the theme of the MacAllister series. I really hope that the next book is one about Kieran because I am dying to know what ever happened to him!!! Kinley Macgregor is my new favorite author and I cannot believe that she felt the need to defend her credibility because some people are so disrespectful about someone elses work. Mrs. Macgregor, please dont judge us all because of one person's ignorance. The rest of us love your work immensely!!

Summary: Awesome! Sexy and emotional at the same time.
Review: This was my first Kinley read. I was NOT disappointed. The characters are well-rounded and the story line was interesting and relevant to the romance. The love scenes were hot and yet there was still enough romance to make this a touching and emotional story. I actually found myself tearing up at times! I give this 5 stars.

Summary: I don't normally do this but....
Review: When my credibility is attacked, I feel the need to respond. I am a historian and my students refer to me as Dr. Kenyon. I read 15 languages, most of them dead now and they include Old and Middle English. The word "cold" is in fact older than our written language. The idea of having a "cold" is more medieval than even Chaucer himself. In fact, if you read Latin and Arabic medical texts, you will see that Hot and Cold are always used to refer to medical conditions. So many times we like to think that we have "modern" thoughts that are in fact older than time. I quote Socrates who once said, "Women wear their skirts too short, too much make-up and the men are concerned with nothing but attending parties and other trivial pursuits. What has happened to the youth today?" It was also Plato who wrote the ever popular quote "Let sleeping dogs lie." Eleanor of Aquitaine set up abused women shelters. Give me a "modern" idea and I can easily give you an ancient/medieval equivelant or law (internet laws aside). As for slang, if I wrote my book in medieval slang terms, I daresay modern readers wouldn't know what rounsey, stew, kagoule, simsey, kerry, coffyn, convent/nunnery (both of which refer in slang to brothels--virgin row was the redlight district) or thousands of other words would mean. I have read medieval and ancient works extesively in their original languages. Things people think are modern aren't. Crocodile tears is a medieval expression taken from John Mandeville's writings in the 14th cent as are terms such as crow's feet, holograph, grenade, uppercrust, take the cake, taken with a grain of salt, etc. These are all from the 12th cent or before. Modern expressions: Now die! Written in the Aeneid by Virgil Nunc Morere. I will have my way with you upstairs and down...Catullus Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. Ovid's Garrula Lingua can be translated to mean Motormouth. Lastly, the wounds. Ewan was more seriously wounded than Ryan. Ryan took a small knife to the ribs, Ewan did not. Have you ever seen the damage a sword does on pig's flesh? I have. For that matter, I have wielded all manner of medieval weapons, worn armor (both chain and plate) and even titled the quintain. Oh and there is one last thing. There aren't any MacBains in my book. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else. Because I know my history, have taught and read it, I don't feel the need to flaunt my knowledge and bore reader's with inconsquential details.

Summary: Kinley the great ........
Review: wow ... I have just been reading the review/s for MacGregors latest novel: Taming the scotsman. I have read 2 of MacGregors novels: born in sin and master of seduction, AND I found both books to be excellent!! MacGregor has a very enticing style of writing and I find the slant on her novels very unique: that is, the men in the novels are "wounded" emotionally, and in some respects this is their story (how they manage to overcome their emotional wounds to find love). I think the 2 stories I have read are simply beautiful, and they are the kind of stories that you will read over and over again. I have ordered this book, and am eagerly awaiting the read!!! I am expecting to love this book too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am always confused when I read reviews putting down the genre of romance, especially historical romance. If you read a romance book you should expect an emotional book; emotional books aren't "fluff". RESPECT for this genre is direly needed; if you don't like to explore emotions don't read these types of books! And, don't insult (and the comments of these negative reviews are definitely insulting) the books, simply because you can't understand them! A little knowledge can do great harm, so unless you are quoting facts, don't bother with negative comments (NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR IT). Kinley, I love your stories and I hope that you are not put off by these ridiculously, negative reviews! We need a whole lot more romance writers like you! My thanks for your wonderful novels so far, Kristina
