Description

Awarded a B.R.A.G Medallion for Romance/Historical Fiction. 

The Reformed Rogues series follows the lives of three fearsome Highland Warriors who form a bond stronger than any blood tie. It is set in 11th Century Scotland during the reign of 'The Red King.' Recommend reading books and series in order.

Highland Chieftain Beiste MacGregor is a ruthlessly ambitious warrior with the viciousness of a beast. He has little interest in women beyond the bedchamber. On the order of the Red King, he reluctantly travels with his men to the lowlands to formalize a betrothal to a woman from clan Dunbar. He is not prepared for the troublesome but striking clan healer he meets on the way, who not only infuriates him but stirs something deep within his soul.

Amelia Dunbar is a clan healer and the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Dunbar. When she is not serving as a companion to her half-sister, she is tirelessly attending to the sick in her clan. Amelia has plans to find her mother's people in the Highlands and is about to embark on her journey when she is waylaid by the arrival of fearsome warriors. One warrior, they call 'the Beast', rouses her ire and sets her heart racing at the same time.

    God! i love me a highlander romance novel, they’re usually funny but nothing like this! I just kept laughing and gushing at the fluff. On the spice level i’ll give it 2/5 but the whole story made up for it honestly didn’t even miss the smut. I love that we got an Epilogue as well, that’s what i been missing in all these books. I’m glad to know how the characters are doing in the end 😂🤭
  • I enjoyed it.

    It was a good book. I had to get to the way they talked but once I did I was able to understand better. I will definitely keep reading what this author writes.

    A good story with good character development. Sorely needs a good proofreader. There are grammatical errors and the punctuation is abysmal. Otherwise, a really enjoyable read.
  • Romance with a plot

    If you are looking for a historical romance with a plot and twists look no further. A fun read. It reminded me of The Bride by Julie Garwood
  • Very good

    This is a new author to me and it will not be the last. Beiste and Amelia are great characters and a pleasure to read about. The author may not of kept to a strict Highlander dialect but it truly did not take away from the story. I have the next book already in my kindle.
  • Strong characters
