Rating:  Summary: I adored this book!! Review: I had read COME THE MORNING, under her penname of Shannon Drake, and thought it trite and empty. but REBEL was different. vibrant and full of electricity between the two heroes, it drew my attention and warmed my heart.Alaina McMann, the vivacious, fiercely Southern daughter of a botantist in Civil War era Florida, is caught in a compromising situation with Ian McKenzie, a union sympathizer. They wed hastily and the marriage progressed smoothly ewnough from there, Alaina the reluctant young bride and ian the determined husband. But what could be a glorius union of hearts is threatened by their strong, opposing views. ian goes to fight for the Union, and Alaina begins participating in a covert smuggling ring for the Confederacy under the name of Mocassin. but when ian finds out, can he hang his wife, the spy? We all yearn for the answer! Read this wonderful romance and find out. The characters are believable (although ian is definitely one of the randiest heros I've encountered) and the circumstances are understandable, too. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: excellent Review: I JUST DICOVERED BOOKS BY HEATHER GRAHAM, AND I LOVE THEM. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON MORE. I THOUGHT REBEL WAS A WONDERFUL BOOK, I LIKED THE CHARACTERS AND THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF HISTORICAL FACTS INVOLVED. I HAVE READ ALOT ABOUT ROSE GREENHOW SINCE I HAVE READ THE REBEL. IT JUST PROVES MY POINT THAT NOT ALL ROMANCE NOVELS ARE COMPLETE DRIVEL. I HAVE LEARNED MORE FROM MY ROMANCE READING THEN IN ANY TEXT BOOK I HAD TO READ IN SCHOOL
Rating:  Summary: Excellent choice Review: I truely enjoyed this book everytime I've read it. I'm presently looking to read more books in this series, and I can't wait to see if all the characters in this book have as interesting relationship as Alaina and Ian do. Heather Graham is a very good author.
Rating:  Summary: The McKenzie saga continues... Review: Ian McKenzie arrives home for a short visit from fighting on the Union side during the Civil War. At the beginning of his visit with his family he finds himself in a compromising position with a friend of the family's daughter, Alaina McMann, and to save her reputation and embarrassment to the 2 families he carries her off to be married. There is definitely attraction there and could grow to be a strong love but their strong opposing views of the war get in the way. Ian goes off to serve the Union side while Alaina begins participating in a smuggling ring for the Confederacy- and they clash each time they come together. Ian is handsome, strong and protective of Alaina while serving his devotion to the Union cause. He meets his match when he discovers that the Confederate spy he is working at capturing is non-only his own Alaina (this is revealed to the reader at the beginning of the book). The reader learns how Ian gets Alaina out of such a mess. Is their new love strong enough to survive such a test? And will Ian beable to save Alaina from the rope? They hang spies, you know! I enjoyed it. Great read!
Rating:  Summary: The moccasin and the panther, the perfect match Review: Rebel is awsome, full of suspence and true to the era of the Civil War. They met awkwardly, they live awkwardly and they are in love until the start of the war. She becomes a sworn Rebel and he a known Yankee. They go head to head when they meet. And while waiting for his return she becomes a spy no none can stop. No one Except... A truly well written novel about life and events surrounding the war.

Rating:  Summary: REBEL Review: This book was awesome! I am truely interested in the history of the civil war and that is what drew me to the book! I was suprised to see that Heather Graham included much of our countries history and emotions that were true to the era. Ian and Aliana are perfect for one another, regardless of the way they came together. The story continued to drew me in as a reader. Heather spared no words in descriptions throughout the book and made it come alive! I am currently reading the next in the series and Surrender is hard to put down too!

Rating:  Summary: This is by far the worst book that exists on this planet. Review: This is by far the worst book that exists on this planet. Heather Graham seems to think being forced into marriage and then being systematically raped by your husband is romantic. Remove the sex/rape scenes and you have an incredibly boring boilerplate story. The civil war backdrop provides the only fleeting element interest. Not only did I find this book disgusting, I found it's suggestion that marital rape is somehow arousing morally offensive. The only reason to have this book in your possession it to destroy it, which is a public service.
Rating:  Summary: I loved this book Review: This is probably one of my favorite Heather Graham books. Of course this is book #3 and I read it first....I like that both Ian and Alaina have their own views and are firm in their beliefs. Most women would have stood by their man without voicing their own opinions and not said a word. Both Ian and Alaina fought their own personal battles the way they chose to and in the end came together. I loved Julian in this book. I thought he provided some much needed comical relief at times. I couldn't wait to read the rest of the series.
