REBEL By Julianne MacLean
Prequel to the Highlander Series
What got me interested in this was that it's about castles and sword fighting and
based in 1700's. Alex is in the middle of a battle when he's approached by a lad and
the lad takes a swipe at his thigh. He uses his sword and attacks him only to find out
that it's a female.
Elizabeth wakes up in pain and knows she must get back to Argyll's camp. She does not like
Scotland at all. He comes and gives her whiskey for her pain and finds out it's 10pm, she's
slept the day away when he didn't even know if she'd survive at all.
He allows her food and finds out that she's there to take revenge for her father and brother
dying in the rebellion. Problem is he's looked at her and has fallen in love with her looks
and her wit.
Others learn she is there and want to return her to her village as a spy. Alex won't allow
that to happen, she's under his protection now and he will see her back to the only living
relative she has, her uncle.
On their journey they talk a lot and find out about each others families and interests.
She now sees him as one who loves his family and wishes him no harm. He returns her and leaves
til 5 months later he is back and proposes to her because she is all he ever thinks about.
Sounds like a good series and the timeframe is ideal.

A terrific short prequel to Julianne MacLean's new Highlander trilogy.

I don't want to post a spoiler review, so am not saying anything else.... Just hope we meet the hero and heroine in the full trilogy, which starts with Captured by the Highlander, released March 1 in print and ebook.

Wow. I devoured The Rebel by Julianne MacLean and it’s a great prequel to her new Highlander series which I can’t wait to get my hands on. From the moment when Alex meets Elizabeth sparks fly and while at first it has all to do with the swords they’re wielding at each, it quickly turns into a cute flirtation that reads true. It had me wishing to be Elizabeth just so I could meet the handsome highlander, Alex. I loved that Julianne set up the scene with fighting, letting Alex save the damsel in distress and then gallantly helped her find relatives so she could heal her broken heart because her brother died in the English/Scottish war. The heart-wrenching one kiss Alex and Elizabeth share is enough to make the reader weep because it’s fleeting, but true enough to make you want to shout at them to get it on. This book leaves you wanting to read more of Julianne work. Bring it on Julianne.
