Name that book: Highwayman in Name that Book (February 2012)
Reviews
I accidentally read this conclusion to the series instead of #2. It did not appear to matter. There is not much plot in The Perfect Hero. Most of the book takes place indoors after the hero, Dane, disguised as a highwayman, kidnaps the heroine, Julianna. They spend much of the book lusting after one another. And, he calls her "Kitten". 2/5 stars
I really enjoyed the first two thirds of A Perfect Bride. Then it got a little stupid. The villain arriving towards the end of the book was too preposterous to be believed for me, as I doubt a typical brute from the gutters could spot someone in a newspaper drawing that he saw in a dark alley (in disguise) and would still go after her, when she is now the granddaughter of a duchess! Overall, I rate it at 3.5/5 stars.
The story starts with a kidnapping, Cameron MacKay takes Meredith Munro from the convent she has run to. His family and hers have a blood feud and he has worked out a way to get revenge and she's the centre of his plan. However as he accompanies her to his stronghold he discovers that he's attracted to her.
It was okay but didn't really draw me in.

The "hero"(hah!) and heroine first meet when some norman knights under his command are bothering her and about to rape her. But he wont stop them,why should he spoil their fun...that is until he notices shes BEAUTIFUL.
Then he intervenes. Because apperantly only attractive women deserves saving?
The feminist part of me raged at this. Yes I know,its the medieval era but still.I want a love interest for the heroine that I dont despise.Is that to much to ask?
He could have still had a chance to redeem himself after this.But no,it all went downward from then on.
Also he goes through the book calling the heroine "saxon" instead of her name. Thats called objectification
and is a very bad thing.He even tries to rape her himself.(only stopped by the heroines faithful cat clawing him)
And the heroine is such a Mary Sue.She is insanely innocent and beautiful,shes a healer and she dreams about things that come true.
She also keeps moaning about how badly her fathers wife treated her just because she was the love child of the woman her father really loved (aka mistress) It was like totally unfair!… (more)
