Highland Fire

This book is the third in Ruth Langan's popular Highland series. I remember reading and enjoying these books in 1991, when they first came out. This book focuses on Megan, the youngest of the MacAlpin sisters. Her two older sisters have married and left the family home, so Megan is left to rule. Unfortunately, she is wounded and is taken to Ireland with no memory of who she is or where she comes from.Sean O'Mara, the man who rescued MacAlpin, and who is rescued by her at times throughout the story, begins to fall in love with her. Even though he does not know her past history, Megan's actions show him the sort of person she is, and O'Mara is enchanted by her.While the romance is sweet and I found Megan, Sean and Sean's brother Colin all to be wonderful characters, the story unravels as it goes on. The intrigues at O'Mara's home in Ireland are a bit far-fetched. The final scenes with the appearance of the MacAlpin clan from Scotland and Megan's final decision were thinly plotted and frankly quite ridiculous. If only the end of the book were as good as the beginning....
