Summary: Julia London just keeps getting better and better!!!
Review: One of the biggest problems with finding a wonderful new author is their lack of a backlist! The Beautiful Stranger is only the fifth release from this woman of extraordinary talent and already I can't wait for her next book! I first met Lord Arthur Christian in Wicked Angel, admired him in The Dangerous Gentleman, was intrigued by him in The Ruthless Charmer and absolutely fell in love with him during The Beautiful Stranger.Haunted by guilt and goaded by his friends, Arthur travels to Scotland to clear Phillip's name and to escape a doomed relationship. Fresh air, beautiful scenery and a change of pace is exactly what he is looking for ... hopeless directions, a gunshot wound and a maddening beauty is what he finds in Scotland. Kerry McKinnon is having a really bad day. Her late husband Fraser has left a mountain of debt. James Regis, Esq. has sent her an eviction notice from her home, leaving Glenbaden and her clan to the mercy of Moncrieffe. She has been left stranded on a deserted road for hours waiting hours for the Crieffe Coach. And now she is responsible for shooting an unarmed gentleman... who just happens to be the most gorgeous man she has ever laid eyes on. What a day! Little does Kerry know this handsome gentleman is Lord Arthur Christian, a Rogue of Regent Street, wealthy in his own right, son and brother of a duke... little does she know that she will lose her heart to the man responsible for her eviction! You will fall in love with this story. The characters leap off the page and jump square into your heart. Kerry is all the more beautiful for her charming personality and practical nature. Arthur is everything you want in a man, and a few things you don't... When circumstances force Kerry to flee with Arthur to England, she believes he is the answer to her prayers. But as his optimistic view of the Ton causes life to crash down around them, Kerry is sent running right back into hell. Only now does Arthur realize how very much he loves and needs her - but will it be too late? Will he be in time to save her very life? The Beautiful Stranger illustrates the talent of this gifted author. You will be adore Arthur and Kerry, enjoy meeting new people, old friends, and of course the occasional visit from Phillip's ghost! Grab a pillow or pull up a chair and read this series. I promise you will enjoy yourself!

Summary: Give this book a miss!!!
Review: The first and second books from Julia London were fabulous. But this third book was a total disappointment! Basically the story revolves around Arthur Christian, one of the Rouges of Regent Street. He had his heart shattered before by a lady due to the fact that he does not have a title. He made his way to Scotland to help to clear his deceased friend's name. And here comes along Kerry McKinnon, a widow of a farmer. So predictably, they fell in love and something happened (which I'm not going to tell you) which causes Kerry to flee to England with Arthur. And as you all know the hero saves the day in the end. Now here are the problems.
Firstly, I first started reading the book it got off to a slow start. It really did not give the reader any interest to carry on reading and to get to the end.
Secondly, Arthur as stated in the previous 2 books is supposed to be the sensible one, the one that is acute with the matters of the heart. NOT! He only does what he think is right and does not care about Kerry's opinion.
Thirdly, this book has a lot of sickening drama, the courtroom, and the travel. It just seems to go nowhere.
Lastly, the ending! Oh my god the ending! It was dragging on and on and on. I wanted to throw this book against the wall in frustration! Don't get me wrong; Julia London is a great author! I loved Dangerous Gentleman, adored Ruthless Charmer and never forgetting The Devil's Love. But trust me you can give this book a miss!!

Summary: Great Series Conclusion
Review: The last of the unmarried Rogues, Arthur Christian, the untitled son of the Duke of Sutherland, is attempting to make reparations for his misspent youth - bored and still blaming himself for not having done more to prevent Lord Phillip's death. Now, three years later, Phillip's father barges into a soirée, hosted by Arthur, demanding that he clear up a bad investment he neglected to steer Phillip away from which added further dishonor to his memory. The request would take Arthur to Scotland and the most enchantingly down to earth female he had ever met. The widow, Kerry MacKinnon, was a beautiful and loving woman who had spent the last seven years caring for her sickly husband. He had died not quite a year ago and try as she might to keep what was left of the clan MacKinnon together at Glenbaden, the days mail had brought about the straw that would be breaking the camel's back. She is desperate to save her home from ruin and travels to Perth to try to find a way to pay back the debt. After several mishaps with Kerry, accidently shooting Arthur, they find themselves stranded together on the road and have to hike through the Scottish highlands to try to get back to Glenbaden. Arthur, always the gentleman, does get her back home with neither realizing that he was the one that initiated the eviction that is forcing her from her land. While waiting to complete his business, he stays in Glenbaden, helping Kerry with the mundane chores of keeping up the property and gains a deep appreciation for the land, the people, and especially for Kerry, whose strength and lack of artifice is so enchanting to him. Kerry has by this time fallen thoroughly in love with Arthur, and Arthur has yet to realize that what he feels for Kerry is love. Through a tragic event, Kerry is forced to flee Scotland with Arthur. I really enjoyed this story. They were from two totally different worlds - she the widow of a Scots farmer and he the son of powerful Duke. He quite optimistically thinks that because of his standing, the ton will accept her. Even though their completely different backgrounds could never condone a marriage, he just knows that he really cannot live without her, and he proceeds to try to shape her into someone else. It was Kerry who realized that though they loved one another, his world was not one that she could live in. I really liked the fact that she could see what Arthur could not and though it broke her heart, she was strong enough to stand by her principles. She left Arthur, fleeing back to Scotland to save her cousin, from the crime she had committed in self defense, and possibly lose her own life in the process. It was finally the reality of losing her so completely that brought Arthur to realize what was really important to him and what really mattered if only he would not be too late! This was an absolutely wonderful story written with enormous feeling that just draws you in from the very beginning. You will find yourself really living this story and rooting for the good guys.

Summary: Amazing Love Story
Review: This is definitely my favorite of the Rogue books. My only complaint is that it went too fast. I think Julia's writing gets better and better with each book, and I don't think anyone writing romance today is quite as sensual. Very highly recommended!

Summary: Fantastic !!!
Review: This is the best book that I have read in a long time. Julia London is definitely a rising star. The pace of the book is perfect ... never so slow that you lose interest, and yet Ms. London knows how to fill in the details that you won't want to miss. If only every day life could imitate the art that Ms. London so beautifully creates. "The Beautiful Stranger" is a book that you will absolutely want to recommend to all of your friends. All I can say is ... BRAVO Ms. London !!!
