asked by shawn on November 7, 2006 2:12 AM
Scotland, 1745. Against the bloody background of the Battle of Culloden, another war was waged and won--the price was honor, the victory, love.
Scottish beauty Serena MacGregor's hatred of all English began as a child when she watched as a band of Englishmen attacked her mother. Her brother's friend Brigham Langston was no exception to Serena's loathing--despite his supposed loyalty to the Scottish cause…and his good looks.
Although Brigham eventually proves himself worthy of the MacGregor family's respect, Serena is still reluctant to abandon her hatred for him and his heritage. But Brigham has other plans. Serena has captivated him with her beauty, her passion for life and commitment to her beliefs--and he refuses to let her antagonistic attitude keep him from winning her. And Serena must learn to open her mind--as Brigham opens his heart--to see the true love awaiting her.

i have read quiet a few Nora Roberts novels but haven't been very impressed with them but still i picked up this book because i love series romance novels since they mostly show the family interaction which is witty and sweet. i loved this book!
The romance was so hot but the best was the witty banter between the lead characters. In most of the book they just kept fighting but their fights never became monotonous. it just made them more interesting and lovable. Serena was a feiry herione no doubt, but Brigham with his cool attitude and english manners completely complemented her.
And i got the family interaction that i had expected. The whole close relationship between the family members was sweet and added to this novel's appeal.

One look at the ravishing red-haired beauty and Brigham Langston was captivated. But through Serena MacGregor had the face of an angel, she was a wildcat who spurned his advances with a rapier-sharp tongue. To hot-tempered Serena, Bringham was just another Englishman to be despised. But in the arms of the dashing and dangerous English lord, the proud Scottish beauty's hatred soon melted with the heat of their passion

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!
