whom to marry! But the much-feared man
Nora runs to for protection may be
more perilous to her heart than

difficult to tame!

After reading the entertaining "Master of Desire", I expected far more than I got from "Taming the Scotsman". Although there were parts of the story that held my interest, I found myself skipping tons and tons of pages of sexual play and the characters rehashing their emotional problems, trying to get back to the thread of the story. It seems to me the story should be the foundation and the sexual tension and emotional second guessing should be secondary, not primary. Highly disappointing.

if you fan of kinley you will love it, if you are not a fan you will be after you read this.
Rated by buyers -
Kinley MacGregor's historical fiction is unsophisticated, but this entry borders on simplistic, particularly compared to some of the better authors in the genre. Little care is given to avoiding anachronisms, authentic culture of the time or language. Cliches abound. No matter the age of the characters, they often behave like teenagers. And most dreadful of all, the author now has the characters of the current book thinking or talking about characters who were in the *other* books of this series so frequently that they begin to dominate and overwhelm the events and people of *this* one. You begin to wonder if you shouldn't, perhaps, be reading some of those other books instead of this one, because they sound more interesting than this unsophisticated, repetitive tale. If you like your historical romances rich and a bit more complex, authentic and mature, avoid this one...and I'm guessing, the rest of the series.

Nora is running away from her powerful father and his idea of the perfect husband. She chooses Ewan to get her safely to her aunt who just happens to be royalty. Ewan and Nora run into gypsies hired to detain them and make a deal to find the man who hired them. On the way, Nora wins Ewan's heart. Many obstacles face the two before they get their happily ever after.
Kinley MacGregour delivers an entertaining novel with lots of humor. A fun read.

Nora is desperate to escape her upcoming marriage to a man she cannot stand. Knowing that her only chance is by fleeing to her aunt, who happens to be the powerful Queen Eleanor of England, she flees to the protection of the one man whom both her father and betrothed fears. Seeking his protection, she braves the wild and off to the cave that has been Ewan's home since that tragic episode years ago.
Ewan MacAllister is a man haunted by a past mistake. Years ago, he fell in love with the same woman whom his brother Kieran wanted to marry. When Isobail declared her love for him, they flee together only for Ewan to find out that he was nothing more than a means for her to escape Scotland and meet her English lover. To make matters worse, he returns home only to find out that Kieran killed himself after learning about their elopement. From that day on, Ewan will carry the guilt over his brother's suicide and turn his back from all women and live in solitude.
TAMING THE SCOTSMAN is the third book in Kinley MacGregor's delectable MacAllister series. I enjoyed reading this book and was entertained by Ewan and Nora's antics. I liked how Nora finds herself captivated by Ewan, whom she likens to a rugged bear that wants to be cuddled and cared for. It was good to see someone who dreamt of marrying a man of culture and one who would read her poetry, fall in love with someone completely so different; a man who storms off to attack trees with an ax each time he gets infuriated. As for Ewan, I am so glad that he finally meets the woman who can tame him and bring out the passionate and tender man in him. Someone who finally makes him realize that he isn't to blame for his brother's decision to end his life, when they were both victims of the lies of an evil woman.
This is another fantastic book by Kinley MacGregor. I enjoyed the interaction between the main characters, and the secondary characters are also very entertaining. The ending is guaranteed to whet your appetite for the subsequent books to see if THAT certain mystery can be solved. I cannot wait to learn the truth!
If you are new to Kinley MacGregour and are a stickler for timelines, you should start with MASTER OF DESIRE, followed by CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER, BORN IN SIN, TAMING THE SCOTSMAN and WHERE'S MY HERO? Although the heroes of the very first and fifth titles are not MacAllisters, they have recurring parts in the other books.
