Wow! Another wonderful addition to the “Brotherhood of the Sword” series. In this third novel in the series, Lochlan is a Scot on his way to France to find his missing brother. Cat is a runaway princess, the daughter of the King of France. Spunky doesn’t begin to describe her personality. Trust me…she’s a firecracker for sure. When she escapes capture (again) from the King’s guards she runs into Lochlan, who rescues her. Sparks fly, and Lochlan’s life as the leader of his clan will never be the...more
Partiamo da un presupposto: questo romanzo era da pubblicare nella collana principale RM e non nei Passione. Perché? Semplice. Di passione ce n'è poca o niente. Un tipo a torso nudo in posa da macho in copertina non cambia i contenuti e non trasforma un romanzo. La MacGregor (alter ego storico di Sherrilyn Kenyon) ha uno stile particolare, per i titoli storici: ci mette poco sesso. In questo caso, però, ho iniziato la lettura fuorviata dalla sua collocazione in questa collana un pò ambigua e, lo...more
Dopo il solitario Sin, l'allegro Braden e il burbero Ewan è il momento di Lochlan, fratello maggiore e capoclan dei MacAllister. Lochlan è sempre stato il fratello responsabile, quello che consolava le donne sedotte più che sedurle e cercava di "arginare"i fratelli. Diventato capoclan dopo il padre,uomo violento e crudele i cui insulti e la cui reputazione lo seguono tutt'ora, ha dovuto anteporre il benessere altrui al suo. Per seguire la flebile speranza che Kieran,il fratellino minore che si c...more
For a long time I thought this would be a four-star story. However, about half-way through the story structure became a little too apparent for me to enjoy thoroughly: boy meets girl, hate each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, like each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, become attracted to each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, fall in love with each other but don't admit it, get into trouble, one rescues the other, admit their love, get into trouble, o...more
I have to say that while I was disappointed in the beginning the ending truly made up for it. We generally know that in a romance novel the hero and heroine will end up together. It is wonderful to discover that it shocks you how they manage it (though not a complete shock) and that peripheral story aspects end unexpectantly.

I didn’t enjoy it, and I wanted it to be over.
The story had typical romance novel ingredients: strong hero, feisty independent heroine, bad guys chasing the heroine, and the good guy saving her. It felt too plodding for me, like it was going through the motions of a book. It was a very ordinary story. I wasn’t drawn in emotionally. I didn’t care about what was happening. The events and conversations were not interesting.

Ok, I have a couple of things to say about this one. For one thing, CAN ANYBODY DECIDE WHICH BOOK IN THE SERIES THIS IS?! The book itself says first, goodreads says 8th, and one persons review says 3rd! Come on people! Anyway, getting past that little issue, the book itself (whichever it was) was great! Loved the story, the characters, everything! When I first picked it up and read the inside cover, I was expecting a fantasy novel. When I started reading (and realized it wasnt) I wasnt disappoin...more
The Warrior is the last installment in the Brotherhood/MacAllister series and I must say she made sure this series went out with a bang.
Lochlan MacAllister is the Laird of his clan and with all his brothers married with children he realises he is the only one who can find his brother Kieren who was presumed dead for years. Lochlan sets out on his quest and finds himself in France where he runs into his sister-in-laws cousin Catarina. Cat is a free spirit who wants to live her life on her terms...more

My review will mainly contain a bunch of spoilers.
- First off The MacAllister's dead father was never described in the previous three books as a monster. He cheated on his wife and was rather cruel to Sin (his known bastard son) but never was there mention of him beating his other children, his wife (in fact the entire Sin plot line was centered around how much he loved Aisleen and how he'd do anything for her), being a drunkard or a cruel rapist that tortured women. The previous books illustra...more

I finished this 3 days ago but it's only now that I got a chance to review this. My rating says it all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, it's a light read, not too emotional, and I'm glad because there were explanations about the cruelty and ruthlessness of Lochlain's father, he isn't bitter.
For those who've read this series, Catarina first appeared in Ewan and Nora's story (Taming the Scotsman), I didn't like her in the beginning because the author presented her as a villain, but I liked her...more

For those readers like me who started off with the MacAllister series and are wondering if you can skip the Brotherhood books (A Dark Champion and Return of the Warrior) - Yes, you can! There were some references to the Brotherhood and events that happened at Outremer, but you wont feel lost at all with this one (thanks for the tip, Dina!).

I think this is the last book of the MacAllister/Brotherhood of the Sword series. I do not have the complete set and I had trouble understanding how the Brotherhood came about. There are snippets mentioned in the story that the Brotherhood consists mainly of warriors that were abducted and enslaved in a Saracen camp. They escaped and thus formed the Brotherhood. I do not know how they were captured and I just hope that it is mentioned in the first book. I will be buying it and will update my rev...more
I really like this series, and have been reading them out of order, but still can keep up pretty well. I know from other reviews that some had problems with the end and/or the epilogue. I kind of liked the idea, but there was a small aspect that was disturbing, although to relate that here would spoil it. The actual end before the epilogue was nice with a clever twist. I didn't, however, like it as much as Taming the Scotsman, which is actually the book before this one, and the one I started wit...more
I got this book for free at a book fair, so my expectations weren't very high. I found it quite readable and enjoyable, though, and it would have gotten three stars had it not been for the disappointing ending. I found the ending of the main story of this book very unrealistic (I don't want to give any spoilers so I won't go into details), and the epilogue suddenly added a supernatural element to the story which had not been present throughout the rest of the book.

Este libro lo leí porque como seguía con la saga de la Hermandad de la Espada, pues me vi en esa necesidad de tener que leerlo y más si ya lo tenía en mano. Cuando comencé a leerlo me gustó. Siempre he admitido que no soy demasiado crítica para los libros y que por lo general me gustan la gran mayoría, pero cuando se trata de las sagas tiendo a ser un poquito más estricta porque no me gusta ver que un libro se parezca demasiado al anterior. Si me gusta que la historia siga, pero no que la trama...more

So in this book, we're finally getting Lochlan's book. It's been years since I've been waiting for this book to come out because I loved me some Lochlan in the other books and I wanted him to get his happy ending. I've had this book since the day it came out and I opened it once to read it and then lost it and didn't find it until like a year later and then...I forgot about it and just barely got around to reading it again now for the author spotlight.

This is my first book by this author. I had heard of MacGregor before, so when I saw this at Borders for $3.99 I snapped it up….figured I couldn’t beat that plus I had a coupon so it came out even cheaper. Unfortunately, at the time of purchase I didn’t know that this was #7 in the series. By then it was too late and I figured I tried to read it as a standalone. I was lost for the beginning of the book, because of course characters from previous books made an appearance and there were references...more
I'd been dying to read Lochlan MacAllister's story since Taming the Scotsman, so I was "predisposed" to like The Warrior even though I'd been a bit disappointed with the previous 2 books in this series. Everything went well and I quite enjoyed this read... up until the very end, when things got very, very strange...

Although I am a newbie to Ms MacGregor's world of story telling, I am a die-hard fan of historical genres. Let's face it, put a Scotsman in a kilt and that alone will make me buy a book. Yeah, I'm that easy. But to be honest, I had a hard time placing this book as an historical due to the overuse of modern speech and cliches. When I realized this was going to be a staple throughout the book, I decided to concentrate on the plot and emotion of the story and allow myself to become absorbed in thei...more
This book was great, 4 stars at least, until the last bit. The epilogue was so contrived it was ridiculous. I think the editors came along and said "Hey, you write under a completely different name with completely different reality but lets go ahead and vaguely tie them together." If I hadn't already read Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series I'd have been completely lost and the "WTF?" feeling I have anyway would be even more. Basically, that last chapter ruined the entire series for me. If you...more
I loved this book. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in the MacAllister series. I just love with all the characters. This is also a book in the Brotherhood of the Sword series. The first one I've read in that 'series' - although both series seem to share characters. I would really like to know the reading order for these series. The order seems to be different at different sites. That said, I read them out of order -I think- and loved them all anyway.
Okay, let me say that I love this series, and was really excited about Lochlan's book. It was good for the most part, but the ending was horrible. I really hope this isn't the beginning of her mixing the series with the dark hunters. I love her dark hunters and I love her historicals, but not together. It was really cheap and wrong for her to do that to her readers.
I really struggled to get through this book. I ended up skimming through it to get to the end. I just had a hard time connecting with the h/h, the dialogue and actions, didn't seem to fit the time period for me, it just kept throwing me out of the story. It was disappointing, because I've liked the other books in this series.

HOLY CRAP!!!
This book was awesome! AWESOME I SAY!
Sherrilyn has, for the millionth freakin' time, proved her kick-assness in a way that NO other author can!
I adored Lochlan and Cat's story, for I adored the characters. The plot was amazing, fast paced yet well established, and the style was perfect, as ever. I can say, most definitely, that the love and its story between these two strong, stubborn, and sweet characters is by far my favorite.

I really loved this book, but I freakin hated the ending. If it wasn't for that ending I would have gave it 5 stars, but it sucked all the enjoyment out of it. What is up with the switch of genres??? What the heck happened to Kieran? This is no way to end a book or a series.
