The Magnificent Rogue A Novel Iris Johansen Books

I am having bad luck finding epic romance, I had hope with this book, but, alas it was not to be. I did not like Kate, at all, I did not feel any true love between the characters, at some point I thought we'd get that feeling, but it did not happen, perhaps it was the subject matter, the royal intrique or perhaps it was the Tudor period, seldom a favorite of mine. Robert's character and story never fully developed we never got a full sence of him, we understood his home in the Highlands meant everything to him, but we got barely a taste of why it was his sanctuary or his holy ground as it were. Kate was her mothers daughter, and it took more from her character develpment rather than enhance it. I can't recomend this book, it just did not have enouh heart, it did not make feel....

The Magnificent Rogue A Novel Iris Johansen Books Reviews

Queen Elizabeth forced Robert to marry a redheaded termagant named Kate. With her he took on the job of keeping the secret of Kate's birth from King James. Robert knew Kate was a danger to his beloved Scottish fortress. She was a time bomb waiting to go off if anyone found out who she was, Queen Mary's iligitament daughter. Or at least that is what Elizabeth has intamated. And what her guardian believes and goes to James with his so called proof.. James set the hounds after Robert and Kate only to have them turn on him. After all why settle for helping James be King when he could take Kate and gain both Scotland and England with what he found.
But he had not counted on Kate and Robert falling in love and fighting back.
I am an avid historical romance reader, and have probably read hundreds over the years. I must say that this is one of my top 5 favorite novels. I have read and re-read this book multiple times, and will probably read it again in the future. With a few misses, in general, Iris Johansen in my opinion is a fantastic writer. I have read almost all her books, and this is my favorite. Fantastic story, amazing heroine and hero, nice side characters, satisfying ending, just a wonderful book that I would highly recommend.
I don't know any other author but Iris Johansen who can write a steamy romance where well-known figures in history (this time Queen Elisabeth, Mary Stuart) play an active part and the story still sounds believable. How does she do it? I liked everything about this book. And the same goes for her books called Wind Dancer/Storm Winds. I definitely recommend these if you like history and romance.
Really enjoyed the book. Was stuck in an airport and read reviews and decided to start reading it. Found it very enjoyable and pretty much read the entire book in one day. This was my first book of this author. I may try reading another one of her books soon.
The story told in this novel was of love and sacrifice. It helped me to better understand the meaning of real love! Love for God and love for family!
This wasn't a favorite of mine and I don't really read it anymore.....but it was enjoyable while reading.

When Princess Kathryn Kentyre is snatched from a life of captivity by the mysterious Black Robert of Craighdhu, she is torn between absolute terror and soaring hope. He had been chosen to protect her from the dangers surrounding her, yet the moment he swept her away she knew this rogue of a Scottish laird would prove a greater threat than any she faced from her enemies.

Sensuous as sin itself and wild as his native Scottish Highlands, Robert MacDarren had no intention of settling down with one woman. Yet the agreement he'd struck to keep the peace required he marry the orphaned beauty and bring her back to his castle at Craighdhu for safekeeping. It was to be a marriage in name only—and only for one year. He never suspected that the meek hostage he had been promised would prove to be this firebrand of a woman who would challenge his mind, arouse his passion, and lay siege to his heart.
Set in 16th century England and Scotland, this is a magnificent tale of strength born of hardship and love that develops even when denied.

He was the Black Robert of Craighdhu, a remote island castle in Scotland, where he was laird. Half Spanish and experienced in their tortures as well as their pleasures, he'd been a pirate and had incurred both the praise and anger of Queen Elizabeth, who has now seized him for another assignment The Queen wants him to wed Kathryn Kentyre who, he is told, is Queen Mary's illegitimate daughter.

Kathryn ("Kate"), now 16, has been raised in seclusion by a vicar who is going insane and beats her. She is bent on escape. But Robert McDarren will find her and handfast with her and then sweep her away to his castle in the Highlands where he intends to keep her for only a year. For he knows who she is threatens Craighdhu and he will do anything to protect his lands and his people.

You won't regret reading this one. It is well written and the characters wonderful—and the plot believable. The action will draw you into the world of treachery, envy, betrayal and deception that existed at the time of Queen Elizabeth and King James.

A romance well worth re-reading—a keeper!
