Nora Roberts has created a wonderfully romantic love story set against the backdrop of Scotland's doomed Jacobite rebellion.Coll MacGregor, eldest son of the MacGregor clan laird, returns from Paris with his closest friend Brigham Langston, earl Ashburn, an English nobleman. Coll and Brigham are Jacobites, as is the MacGregor family, who are willing to risk all to put their Stuart King back on the throne of Scotland and England. The two men travel together to Scotland to meet and gather the clans in preparation for the arrival of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and war.When they reach the MacGregor home in the Highlands, Brigham is prepared to meet Coll's family, but he is taken totally unaware by the beautiful, vibrant, hot tempered Serena MacGregor, Coll's eldest sister. Sparks fly and tempers flare, as Serena makes her views known about all Englishmen, and Brig, the 'Sassenach,' in particular. As war plans are fleshed out, Brig and Serena fall in lust and then in love. The characters are wonderful and the mixture of humor and intensity, with the historical background, make for a winning combination.The secondary characters, the MacGregor clan, its retainers, and Brigham's valet really add to the novel and make the story come to life. They each have their own tale to tell and their presence does much more than act as filler between the chapters where Serena and Brig interact."Rebellion" is a wonderful light read. I went through it in an evening and became quickly absorbed. If you are a fan of historical fiction, and/or Scottish romances, as I am, that is definitely a plus. ENJOY!!JANA
I found "Rebellion" to be absolutely captivating. The story takes place around the time of the ill-fated battle of Colloden, at a time when Scotland and England were very politically unstable. The main characters, Serena and Brigham, are fabulous. Serena is no typical woman of her time, she is a wonderfully strong character, off-set perfectly by Brigham, the British Lord who walks into her life one day holding her wounded brother in his arms. The history of this story was rich and fascinating, and the love story between Serena and Brigham was unlike any other I have read. There was NEVER a dull moment in this book. The supporting characters in this book, such as Serena's parents - Fiona and Ian MacGregor, Serena's siblings - Coll, Gwen, and Malcolm, Brigham's valet - Parkins, etc. are very well-developed and all play an important role in the story. The reader can't help but become fond of all of these supporting characters. I was swept along by the story that unfolds in this book and could not put it down until it was done. This book is a very satisfying read, well-written and full of romance and excitement. So, pick this book up if you can find it, it is well worth your while!
This Harlequin Historical book is the beginning of the MacGregor saga and you couldn't ask for a better beginning. You can see where Daniel MacGregor gets his spunkiness - his ancestor Serena is just like him. Serena MacGregor is a red-gold haired angel face with a personality of a wildcat, but that didn't deter Brigham Langston. This romantic story is filled with love, laughs, war and rivalry.As typical Nora Roberts' style, the reader can really "see" the Scottish highlands and feel the emotions of the characters as Roberts brings them to life. Very descriptive and emotional, REBELLION leaves nothing to the readers' imagination regarding how the main players feel or think.I originally read REBELLION after I had read several of the MacGregor books and enjoyed comparing Daniel to his Aunt Serena. They are both full of life, and eager to share their joy with others, but you'll always know exactly where you stand with either of them. I wouldn't want to get on either of their bad side. They are the types that would make bitter enemies, or fervent friends, and their antics are enjoyable when told by Roberts!Don't miss this book - the one that started it all!
This is the first of the Nora Roberts books that I have ever read and I found it to be wonderfully written and Historically correct as well. I loved the strong characters of Serena and Fiona, as well as there fierce defense of their heritage. I would love to read the next book in the series but I am having trouble figuring out which comes next.
The REBELLION takes place just before the ill-fated battle of Culloden. This magnificant story revolves around Serena MacGregor, the proud daughter of the laird of the MacGregor clan, and the half scottish and english lord, Brigham Langston, the man destined to love her.Nora Roberts definitely captured the turmoil and violence of that time era. The fear and anguish felt by the innocent victims, including Serena and her family, in the aftermath of the battle of Culloden, was palpable. The scenes described in this story intrigued me so much that I looked up the battle of Culloden on the web. I must say she did a commendable job in incorporating the battle into this story.The love between Serena and Brigham, that grew despite their social standings, acts as a beacon of light in the mist of the chaos and destruction. The REBELLION is truly a wonderful addition (I consider it so, even though it was first published over ten years ago) to the MacGregor collection. It is a must read that you will love. Trust me!
