The Sinner The Return of the Highlanders Margaret Mallory 9780446583107 Books

I can't believe I've never left a review for this book! I've read The Sinner by Margaret Mallory multiple times now, and somehow I always forget how much I love it. The story centers on Alex MacDonald, a highland warrior with Viking blood who likes to love 'em and leave 'em. Reluctant to marry due to family dysfunction, Alex meets his match in Glynis MacNeil, the headstrong daughter of a chieftain who stabbed (but didn't kill) her abusive husband and has returned to the safety of her father's clan. Alex and Glynis share a love of the sea, and before long, a simmering romantic tension that neither one will admit to. Can Alex and Glynis learn to trust each other? If I had one complaint about this story, it would be some frustration with how long Glynis dances around whether or not she can really trust Alex. However, her doubt does make it all the more sweet when she does finally open up to him. Ultimately, I love these two crazy kids together, and this book has become my second favorite in the series, after The Chieftain #4.

The Sinner The Return of the Highlanders Margaret Mallory 9780446583107 Books Reviews

Alex is a known philanderer and Glynis has no desire to be humiliated by that sort of man, as she was with her first husband, but the more they are thrown together, practical and bodily forces pull them together in an unlikely union that neither of them is sure can last. I loved that this story started with a prophecy, as did the first book in this series. I loved both of these characters, both struggling so hard to find what they cannot name, right up until it is almost too late to claim it. And I love how this author never gives her characters the easy way out. There was no sudden change of heart or surprise discovery that suddenly made everything okay, just the slow, methodical, and sometimes painful growth of character, the result of which makes everything that came before it worth it. Great Story! The next book in this series is The Warrior, about Alex's friend Duncan.
A great book in the series. I love Alex. He is a good looking viking/highlander with lots of charm. The only problem is of course he never plans to marry and can pretty much have any woman he wants. There is nothing like a guy with charm. Then he meets Glynis. She has been handfasted before and it did not go well. Her ex is out for her blood, and her father is trying to marry her off again. The two end up on a trip together and when Alex gets a big surprise he decides he wants to marry her, but he lets her know he doesn't know if he can be faithful, but if he isn't he will be decree about it, so she will not be embarrassed. Glynis of course says no.

I like the series so far. The first book though you just have to get 34% into the book for Ian to become the true person he is, and quit being stupid. I look forward to reading more of her books.

Sex content low/medium.
This is the third book that I have read in the RETURN OF THE HIGHLANDERS series by Margaret Mallory. I'm anxiously awaiting the fourth and last book in the series that will be delivered to my kindle in two days. I'm sad that the series will be ending because I could read a dozen more. I started with the third book "The Warrior" which I liked very much. I then returned to the first book, which I enjoyed but did not find as compelling as the "The warrior." I've just finished the second book "The Sinner," which I like the best. I don't think the writing is any better; I just got caught up in the "will they or won't they" struggle between Alex and Glynis and their path to a love match. Alex starts out as a bad boy who won't commit to any relationship. Glynis has experienced the worst in a previous marriage and swears that she will never marry again. Vulnerability and honesty are their biggest obstacles in dealing with their past and trusting their feelings for each other. In the end they both become better and stronger versions of themselves. I'm a sucker for a love story and the struggles of these two drew me in at an emotional level. Mallory's writing succeeds in the development of action, angst, deception, suspense, and sensual desires.
Well, I love the premise for the four lads. A son of the Laird (Chieftian), cousins and the nursemaid's son all grow up together. Along side of them are four beautiful, intelligent, independent lasses. Two of the women are related and grow but in the background. The lads become warriors and travel to France for five years. While there they fight, wench and drink together. After the massive losses the Scots take at Flooden, they return home. So begins the Guardian...Ian's story. It was midbook before I started to enjoy. Reason...Ian, the hero, was shallow, selfish and immature in his relationships with women. I hung in there because I HATE not finishing something I'd begun. It was a good decision. Sooooooooo.....I decided to continue on. The Sinner is the next book in the series. It tells the story of the Viking looking, charming, rouge, in the group, Alexander. Due to the constant battles between his parents, he refuses to marry.... not for love or duty. Eventually, he meets a woman much like himself. Her first husband was crude, met his needs before his clans' ( he was Chieftan ), and unfaithful. After three months, the heroine, Glynis, tries to relieve him of his bullocks with her dirk. She fails and is sent home in shame. There she meets the hero, Alex. Much alike, they first fall in lust and then in love. Neither will admit to love but continue to share their bodies. Now, I cannot relate what happens next as it would ruin much of the tale. Now my gripe. Mallory does it to me again but in reverse from The Guardian. The first half of the book is great including the H/h. Then the h becomes a whiney, shallow person and the story lags accordingly. Of course, I must finish and we do have our HEA but I feel sucker punched ! Damn ! Again. I' m going to read The Warrior next because I like Duncan ( well, so far ) and want to see him happy. I hope I am not making a mistake. Do I recommend this book? Yes, if you like half books. Also, if you've already read The Guardian then you can handle any disappointment you may find here.
