I've been such a big fan of Pamela Clare's MacKinnon’s Rangers series. One of my favorite characters from Pamela, and in this series, isn't any of the heroes she's written, but the dastardly, at the moment villain, Lord William Wentwort. If you've read these books like I have, then you know why William has made such an impression.(I'm dying for William to have his own book like you wouldn't believe)
Defiant, book #3, isn't Willam's book (yet) but about Connor and William's niece. Pamela just post the cover on her blog:
Synopsis: Charged with a crime they didn’t commit, the MacKinnon brothers faced a death sentence until they agreed to serve the British Crown in the Colonies and take up arms against the French. Allied with the Indian tribes who lived beside them in the wilderness, the Scottish Highland warriors forged a new breed of soldier…
Major Connor...more Charged with a crime they didn’t commit, the MacKinnon brothers faced a death sentence until they agreed to serve the British Crown in the Colonies and take up arms against the French. Allied with the Indian tribes who lived beside them in the wilderness, the Scottish Highland warriors forged a new breed of soldier…
Major Connor MacKinnon despises his commander, Lord William Wentworth, beyond all other men. Ordered to rescue Wentworth’s niece after the Shawnee take her captive, he expects Lady Sarah Woodville to be every bit as arrogant and contemptible as her uncle. Instead, he finds a brave and beautiful lass in desperate peril. But the only way to free Sarah is for Connor to defeat the Shawnee warrior who kidnapped her—and claim her himself.
Torn by tragedy from her sheltered life in London, Lady Sarah is unprepared for the harshness of the frontier—or for the attraction she feels toward Connor as he guides her first through the consummation of their forced union and then through the dangers of the wilderness. When they reach civilization, however, it is she who must protect him. For if her uncle knew all that Connor had done to save her, he would surely kill him.
But the flames of passion, once kindled, are difficult to deny. As desire transforms into love, Connor will have to defy an empire to keep Sarah at his side.
We have to wait until February 2012 for the release *KB pout*. This isn't the final cover, and I must admit, I'm a bit underwhelmed by it (even with the long sword being held). But I'm so glad this series has found a new home with Berkley.(The series was dropped by Dorchester. Their loss!) This will give you time to go back and read Surrender and Untamed.
Surrender is one of my all time favorite romances and has one of the most shocking, yet titillating and naughtiest shaving scenes I've ever read. Does that persuade you to pick up this book? It should.

I loved Surrender too and I'm really liking this cover. Just might have to pick this one up for a re-read. :)
Is this the same Pamela Clare the writes the, what was it, the shifters/mages series that required a virgin sacrifice or some such nonsense? (dammit, what was that series...)
Huh. Looks like it's not. I've had 3 McKinnon books on my shelf for a year or so, avoiding because I thought they were part of some other series. I should read 'em, then?
