My, my, my. Sexy highlanders in kilts! “Beware a Scot’s Revenge” is another winner in Sabrina Jeffries ‘School for Heiresses’ series. Ms Jeffries provides another enticing glimpse into the late Regency period in Scotland--with a braw and rowdy highland laird, a Scottish ‘princess’ who yearns to return to her beloved homeland, and a 16-year-old tragedy that almost derails true love!

Venetia Campbell is thrilled to be back in Scotland. It took all her wiles to convince her papa that she would be safe, especially since the dreaded Scottish Scourge is now dead. Then she’s kidnapped by Lachlan, her childhood friend, who turns out to be the outlaw himself! Suddenly, she’s discovering that her dreams of home aren’t quite as she imagined. With Lachlan accusing her father of horrible crimes, her childhood estate being bled dry by an evil overseer, and to top things off, she’s more in love with Lachlan now than she was as just a child. But she’ll be neither widow nor grieving daughter if she has anything to say about it!

Lachlan has come up with a desperate plan to get the money Venetia’s father owes he and his clan…he’ll kidnap Venetia and demand her father’s presence with the money. And if the man tries to cheat him again after having him beaten nigh to death…then he’ll kill him, after all this is a matter of honor and clan! But Lachlan didn’t take a few things into consideration. First, he didn’t realize Venetia was smart. Second, he didn’t know what a brave beauty she’d become. Third, he didn’t understand the nature of the debt. And last, he didn’t see how quickly he would fall in love with Venetia. Now he’s trapped by his own plan and can’t see a happy ending. Good thing Venetia has plans of her own.

I enjoyed the interplay between these two strong-willed characters as they sparred their way across Scotland. Ms James’ pacing was fabulous and there weren’t any drags in the story or the action. Her depiction of the highlands and the troubles from this time period were perfect for this type of novel. The time of the ‘clearances’ was an absolutely wretched time for the Scottish and I appreciated that she didn’t try to ram this down my throat, but rather illustrated the hardships via characters and actions in the plot. I was pretty impressed with this, as I’ve read many a romance that focused so much on the difficulties of this period that I ended up depressed after I finished the book! She portrayed the hardships without belittling them, but still kept the tone of the book light.

“Beware a Scot’s Revenge” was also pretty hot on the sensuality scale. I felt the attraction and the confusion and the indecision of both characters. Each of them had tough choices to make and did so while staying true to the natures she had drawn for each. I’ve enjoyed all of the ‘School for Heiresses’ books I’ve read can’t wait to read the rest.

Oh and let's not forget that Lachlan was last seen in Never Seduce a Scoundrel as the Scottish Scourge that waylaid Amelia and Lucas four years earlier!

While this isn't my favorite book in the series, I think its the most amusing yet. I really wish Mrs. Harris' School for Young Ladies existed because if the graduates are any indication of the schooling practices I think it would be a fabulously fun time! Venetia doesn't broke any argument from anyone--practically everyone in the book got a good tongue-lashing from her, but she was also equally passionate about defending those she loved from a wrong committed. Lachlan...well he was a jerk, plain and simple. Pigheaded, high-handed and arrogant only begin to name his many sins. On occasion he showed chips in his armor, but when his own people start to question whether he can enter talks without bloodshed I think he needs to mend his ways.

The debt that Lachlan wants from Venetia's father really boils down to a very difficult and painful secret that the Earl had kept to keep from hurting those still alive. A secret that led to a lot of misunderstandings and sworn blood feuds unnecessarily. I would have thought, once he knew why Lachlan was thieving from his friends he might have pulled the boy aside. Lachlan was a hotblooded, righteous and angry youth--I don't doubt that if Venetia hadn't gotten caught up in the web of secrets and lies that the Earl would have been killed by Lacklan fairly soon.

Another interesting point towards the School is the fact that they all seem to be so well-versed in pleasing a guy. The oft-mentioned harem book couldn't possibly have been as detailed as they keep eluding too! Or else they all really are naturals. I didn't find there to be too many sex scenes, though I do wonder at Venetia's brain.

I will say this whenever I see a guy in a kilt now I'll be thinking 'I wonder if he's wearing it by old traditions or not?'.(less)

I'm usually not a fan of kidnapping-turned-Stockholm Syndrome style books. Nor am I typically a fan of the Scottish-themed books, as they largely start off well-meaning but at some point dissolve into near-offensive caricatures. But I gave this one a try because I wanted to make it through the School for Heiresses series. I'm glad I did, because I wasn't disappointed.

From the beginning when Venetia meets Lachlan in disguise until they reach Scotland, it's an enjoyable read. Despite hi...more

Cute Scottish historical romance with likable leads. Not the usual time period for Scottish historicals, it was nice to see Scotland a few generations after Culloden. The romance was sweet, I like how the hero never treated the heroine badly even when he was very angry with her father. Check this out if you like Scottish historical romance!

What is it about this book that deserves a 5 star rating from me? Let me tell you...

First of all you have the hero Sir Lachlan Ross, a Scottish Laird who is also secretly the Scottish Scourge, a thief and blackguard! He is out to get justice for the wrong that was done to his clan and get the money returned that is owed his family. The person who owes him this- Quentin Campbell, the Earl of Duncannon, also known as the former friend and neighbor of Lachlan's father. Duncannon owes over thirty thousand pounds to Ross's clan and he intends to get this debt settled once and for all.

Lachlan has come up with a plan to get Duncannon to repay the money, by kidnapping his only daughter and demanding the money owed him before he will return his daughter to him.

Venetia Campbell is on a trip in Scotland when she meets a man at a masquerade ball. There is something very familiar about this man but she can't quite put her finger on it. He reminds her of her neighbor from her childhood, Lachlan Ross, but she knows it can't be him because it is reported that he was killed by the Scottish Scourge.

Lachlan's plan went perfectly, he gained Venetia's interest in him and her trust and then he kidnapped her! Venetia was stunned! Not only is Lachlan Ross not dead, but he is also her fathers only sworn enemy, the Scourge!

Venetia wants to hate Lachlan for doing this to her and her father, but the more she learns about Lachlan and the debts her father owes him, the more she lets the barriers fall down that she is desperately trying to build around her. As a child, she always looked up to Lachlan, she had a crush on him and had started falling in love with him then. Now spending days at a time in a small carriage with the man is rekindling all of those feelings she had before.

I loved the pull and the tension between Venetia and Lachlan. Venetia is a feisty heroine, she is constantly trying to escape her captor, but Lachlan always hunts her down. But Venetia's tenacity doesn't anger Lachlan, it only makes him want her even more.

And I loved Lachlan's character! I have marked him as a favorite hero because he knows what he needs to do to take care of his family and his clan and he sets a plan and he follows through with it. He is a take charge kind of man and won't take no for an answer, except when it comes to Venetia. He gradually softens towards her the more time they spend together and the closer they get. I love the Scottish men anyways! This particular one can kidnap me anytime!!

Beware a Scot's Revenge is cleanly plotted, but it has a lot of problems, as well. The one that struck me hardest was the dialog, which was stilted at best and silly at worst.

Dialog anachronisms were plentiful. In 1822 a young woman in London's ton would be unlikely to yell oh, fudge when frustrated. The main character's language is all over the place; he's a highlander, but he has features of Lowland Scots and Irish in his speech. Quite confusing, really.

Ahh, Scottish men. It was great reading about Sir Lachlan Ross with his Scottish brogue, a little wildness and a kilt all wrapped up into one favorite hero. I enjoyed the banter and slow sizzle between Venetia and Lachlin. This book had a kidnapping (between the hero and heroine) with an interesting story line that developed throughout the book.

Don't normally like the people illustrated on the fronts of the historical romance books, but both male and female were hot on inside cover,...more

This is definitely the best Sabrina Jeffries book I've ever read.
Those who are familiar with her know her books are on the light, fluffy side, so you have to keep that in mind before you pick this up.

I LOVE when villians in previous books become the hero, so of course I was excited that this one was to be about the Scottish Scourge, who had previously tried to rob Amelia and Lucas, the main couple from the first book.

I LOVE when villians in previous books become the hero, so of course I was excited that this one was to be about the Scottish Scourge, who had previously tried to rob Amelia and Lucas, the main couple from the first book.

Okay, so...

Characters:
Lachlan. I LOVE him, even more than I expected to. It was refreshing to have a hero that actually cares about what the heroine thinks of him. I don't think I've ever read that in a book before--they always end up caring by the end, but Lachlan cared from the very beginning. Everything he does is for the good of his clan. There is nothing villianous about him.
As for Venetia, I liked her a lot, too. She's not one of those "I know everything" heroines who goes about doing things just to prove she can. She has a big heart. It did take a LONG time for me to feel her love for Lachlan...in fact, for some reason I was able to feel that Lachlan loved her, but I didn't sense her return feelings. She did all the "required" things someone in love will do, but it didn't come off the pages.

Story:
The basic premise is that Lachlan kidnaps Venetia, holding her for ransom to get money to support his clan. I know the whole hero kidnapping the heroine thing has been done many times, but somehow it felt new here. I think it's because Lachlan and Venetia knew each other as children, so that gave it a different feel. She had really liked him, and it wasn't her being taken by some scary, mysterious guy she'd never met before. Also, Lachlan was completely good to her the whole while, and Venetia never REALLY feared him. She claimed she did, but it's obvious she didn't.
It was fun to see Venetia eventually figuring out that Lachlan actually is a good guy.

What bothered me though, was the end. It seems as if every romance novel ends with the hero having to come to some decision, or realize that he can't live without the heroine (especially in Sabrina Jeffries' books); this is getting old. Can't authors come up with a new climax? And it's silly here, too, because he had already figured out that he was in love with her, and ADMITTED it to her, so for him to just try to give her up like that...it felt really fake. I don't believe Lachlan would have acted in that way. I understand why he suposedly did it, but I just don't think it was a good enough reason.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this one. I just wish that ONCE an author will not make the hero out to be the stupid idiot/bad guy toward the end, even after it has been established that they love each other. Even in historicals, where the heroines are almost always painfully naiive, the hero has to suddenly become a blind dummy. Why? They spend a good part of the book being intelligent, and then BAM! Their IQ decreases. (less)

And this is my new favorite of the series! First, let me start by saying, yes, these are light-hearted historical romances that Ms. Jeffries writes, but it doesn't make them any less worthy or enjoyable. In fact, I'd argue with anyone who says writing these are easier than the darker more angsty stuff. Just because they are easy to read and maybe not as serious as others would like doesn't mean it's not well done. The story still has to flow and make sense, being an aspiring writer myself, I know nothing in writing is as simple as it looks. This is why I love Sabrina Jeffries! Sometimes I don't want the dark or heavily laden plots, sometimes I want something simple and sweet and steamy!

First off, I want Lachlan for myself, but I guess if Venetia is the one I lose him too, I don't mind at all. I love all the characters, all of them!! Not a one angered me or annoyed me, not even poor Jamie when his feelings were hurt by his unrequited love of Venetia! Everyone in the book is well thought out, enjoyable and distinct, which is a rare accomplishment, in my honest opinion. The buildup of the Scottish Scourge throughout the first two books does a great job of heightening expectations of this simply horrible man who must be villainous. Except, in the first book, when kidnapping Amelia and Lucas, he is gentlemanly to Amelia, and does not want them harmed. You get a glimpse of his true character even then. When he is introduced to us in this book, being his charming and dashing self at a masquerade, it doesn't ring false, as he's only being that way to win Venetia's trust, he really is charming as well as devilish. And Venetia is the kind of heroine I adore! She's smart, funny, minx-ish, emotional, quick to anger, all things I think should be expected of women. In too many romances today (be historical or contemporary) the heroine is portrayed as a strong and independent woman, when we all know we aren't all that way. At least I'm not! Yes, I can hang tough when needed, but everyone has a breaking point, everyone has a soft heart about something, and if you say you don't, they you have no soul and you're not the kind of person I want to read about in a romance. I want passion! Several times in this novel Venetia cries, and in none of them do I see her as weak. When she realizes how injured Lachlan is, and what he has endured, most likely at the hands of men her father hired, it breaks her heart. After she has gone out of her way to be cold to him while conniving with his mother to drive him mad, he goes to a lot of trouble to get her ballads and chocolate, things she adores, just because he wanted to, it makes her so happy she cries. But she's no simpering miss either, and I think the balance is important. Venetia stands up to Lachlan throughout her kidnapping, when he stoically denies he loves her and has bedded her in front of her father to right an injustice he believes has been done, she does not cry then. No, she gives him a piece of her mind, and an ultimatum! They are great characters in my opinion!

I know some have listed the dialog or the phrasing of the dialog as part of the problem, it not being true on Lachlan or Venetia's part. I honestly can't judge this, as I'm no expert. I can tell you that excessive brogue in a novel gets a bit distracting for me, especially if it's an audio book. I know the characters are Scottish, and every once in a while, a gentle reminder of it with a few words and phrases is enough for me. I think one of the reasons I didn't love Outlander is this point. I enjoy the accent something fierce, and if Gerard Butler were to whisper sweet nothings in my ear is that devilish brogue, I'm sure I would be distracted, but for other reasons! But when I'm reading a book, I don't want to be distracted by a dialect I'm not familiar enough with to make it sound natural to me. If a few modern day phrases are thrown in, I may or may not notice, as I'm a modern woman and they are commonplace to me. I don't need to be totally immersed in the culture or scenery or even the language to get the feel of the book. I do have an imagination, and I rather enjoy using it. As I've said in other reviews, give me the basics, and the important stuff, I can handle the rest, thank you very much.

If you can take this book at face value, as something that's fun and easy and has a devilishly sexy hero and an emotionally stable and tender-hearted heroine, then this is a book I highly recommend. I don't promise you'll love it, we all have different tastes, but it's worth a try! If you want to pick apart every detail, every nuance, then avoid, and let me avoid your reviews. I read for fun and enjoyment, if I wanted to have the book dissected, I could just read every critic's review ever of romance novels, as they all accuse them as light, fluffy, and a waste of time for their lack of depth. I only have to point out the loyalty and book sales of the romance genre to show how much people appreciate these kind of books!(less)

But as the story unfolded, I got caught up in the characters and the exchanged dialogues in the carriage. Venetia was a pretty solid & strong character (for a romance). Lachlan was rough around the edges but a softie inside as well. So it turned out to be a pretty cute read!

Had never read any of the series before, but I quite liked Jeffries tone and characterization. I wanted to knock the hero's head about a bit though for being so thick, but really liked how Venetia revealed herself to be so content with life in the Highlands without society - it was done without patronizing or diminishing the other characters, and was a good fit. I'll be interested to see what the other books in the series are like now.
